Font Size

Dallas Phil · 16 years ago

Do you think you could get the font size any smaller? I want a refund. This is a joke. You need a magnifying glass to read the index and then by the time you expand the detail even in landscape you are scrolling back and forth just to read it. A good idea but the presentation is horrible!

Useful but needs a GUI overhaul.

I would first like to advise all the venomous US reviewers that this app cover the UK 1984 PACE act and it has no relevance at all to American law. As for the app itself I find it very useful however the UI is ugly, hard to read and needlessly graphically intensive. So a "well done" to the devs for providing the app but please get rid of the spinning logo, make the colour scheme two tone and increase the font size. There re plently of PDF front-end apps out there and most of them are easier to navigate. I will be happy to add stars as the versions progress!

Beware -- this if for the UK

This app references UK laws, not US laws! You should only buy this app if you are a UK citizen or interested in UK laws. If you are looking for US laws, YOU DONT WANT THIS APP.
