The new app is so much better! Previously it was hard to navigate and lacked the ability to find what you needed quickly. The new app is much more user friendly and makes it easy to find your hearings, completed matters, and new hearings/bundles to cover. Docketly overall is one of the better coverage services. Although sometimes the volume of work you get is simply based on how quickly you can hit the “cover” button. It doesn’t favor attorneys who are responsible, professional, and represent the firm they are covering for at the highest level. It seems to favor attorneys who take a high volume of cases, but apart from that, I’m happy with the new app and I’m glad they gave it an upgrade!

This new version looks like it is going to be easier to navigate. But my biggest compliment is that there is more functionality here to complete the most common tasks that I normally complete on Docketly’s website. For instance, filing a hearing report. Some past versions of this app would allow appearance counsel to file what I might term an abbreviated hearing report. For example, there was not a spot to add future hearing date information. So if I used the app to file a hearing report all I could do in that circumstance was to mention the next hearing date in my narrative. With this new app it looks like I will be able to file a hearing report using Docketly‘s app and it be as complete and accurate as it would have been if I waited until I got back to my office to file the report on Docketly’s website. This should allow appearance counsel to file hearing reports sooner after the completion of our hearings using this improved version of Docketly’s app. Thank you for making this investment, Docketly!

Doesn’t always show the same information as the website in real-time but is definitely useful for a quick glance to see if anything is available.

The app is great but it lags giving other attorney competitors a chance to grab the appearance before you can. Also, every case appearance is different and the reporting should be tailored as such. The makers of the app should consider tailoring the reporting by the category of case to which the appearance relates. Finally, the firms hiring the appearing attorneys fail to include ALL of the required evidence to prove up the case. Often times the requesting law firms are out of the city/state and do not sufficiently know the local laws so the case is unprepared at the start. But the appearing attorneys live in the jurisdiction and have to face these judges again and again. Appearing attorney pay should be higher for staking our reputations on losing cases that are ill prepared.
