I’m happy to welcome back Lit Software as a sponsor of iPhone J.D. Lit Software has been making sophisticated iPad apps for litigators since 2010, the same year that the iPad was introduced. And the company is always looking at ways to do more.
Lit Software recently introduced Lit Suite, a subscription that gives you access to all of the Lit Software apps including all updates. Right now, that means that you get access to TrialPad, TranscriptPad, and DocReviewPad. I recently reviewed the latest versions of those apps. I’ve enjoyed using all of these apps in my own law practice. Indeed, for the past week, I’ve used TranscriptPad every single day.
The subscription also gives you access to upcoming new features and products. For example, I mentioned last month that Lit Software is working on app called ExhibitPad, which can be used for a purely digital presentation of evidence and demonstratives.
Moreover, now that Apple has provided new tools for using iPad apps on a Mac, Lit Software gave me permission to reveal that the company is exploring the possibility of bringing its iPad apps to the Mac. The company is not ready to announce anything yet, and there is a lot of work that still needs to be done to see how this might work. But ever since July 2020 when Apple started sending developers the tools to create programs for the new Macs with an M1 processor, Lit Software has been working on porting the apps. And as the following photos show, early builds of the apps are up-and-running on the Mac:
Time will tell when Lit Software will have something specific to announce on the Mac. Nevertheless, I mention this ongoing R&D because it is an example of how the company is constantly looking at what Apple is making possible and then exploring how the Lit Software products can take advantage of those opportunities to become even more useful for attorneys. This is exactly what I look for when I decide whether to subscribe to an app: is the developer actively working to improve the app? For Lit Software, the answer is definitely yes.
If you own an iPad and you work with deposition transcripts, work with documents, and/or present evidence to a judge or jury, then the Lit Suite collection of apps is perfect for you. Thanks to Lit Software for more than a decade of supporting attorneys who use iPads, and thanks again for being a sponsor of iPhone J.D. this month.

I have all the ipad apps except exhibitpad. How do I get that and how much is it?
If you subscribe to Lit Suite, you can just download ExhibitPad from the App Store. If you don’t subscribe to Lit Suite and you have the former versions of the other apps because you bought them earlier, you need to subscribe to Lit Suite to get the latest versions of the apps and to get ExhibitPad.
