Westlaw Thomson Reuters Customer Insights

1. My one gripe, which to me is a significant issue, is that if you pay for unlimited use of your library they still charge you if you use the app.Pointless. This is just a bad browser app that pulls into the mobile version of old Westlaw (not Edge).

2. How bad at app development do you have to be to settle for a website wrapper and even screw THAT up? Is anyone even trying?Most important features of Westlaw are either non-existent or don't have working links in the app.

3. I can look up cases, save them, and follow links to cites cases but I cannot for the life of me figure out how to navigate to a home screen or search page.

4. Honestly unbelievable how bad the app is given Westlaw's cost, and their market dominance.It works well if you know exactly what you want to look up.

5. Save your storage space and just access WL through your browser.It doesn't even open app, redirects to web browser version.

6. Disgraceful how in 2018 there can be an app of this kind that works so well on iOS but the android version is utter garbage.

7. Which was pretty disappointing since I was really hoping the app would be it's own actual cool feature.It was already bad, because it was just a wrapper for a mobile website.

8. Does not even recognize Westlaw pages opened outside the app to offer to open them in app.

9. That's not a good thing...Pointless. Just a separate app running the mobile website.

10. Going back with either the in-app navigation arrows or Android back gesture just takes me back through recently urls and then the login.

11. Cannot use a majority of Westlaw Edge functionality in app.
