The hughes guide section was the main focus as to why I subscribed to this app. However, I found it laid out very poorly and it doesnt contain a fraction of the information that the physical book contains. Very disappointing as the actual online version of hughes guide when it was around was very good and easy to find the information. If this isn't looked into then I will unfortunately be cancelling my sub.

I've used this app since it was new and eventually paid for the subscription. It's been handy throughout all my career so far and I've recommended it to anyone new starting in the job. It covers all your main offences and more, along with the handy points to prove, defences and things of note. Also gives other guides and tools outside of law and I think an app like this has been needed for a very long time!

I have been using the APP for several now and very quickly subscribed from the free version having downloaded it all those years ago as it is such a helpful and informative reference guide which keeps, not only evolving but is always updated with the latest legislation. Every officer should subscribe in my opinion. As a tutor for new constables I always tell them to download and subscribe as they will be thankful they did.....
