Please be sure to update to this most recent version to get the full effect of TrialPad by visiting the App store on your iPad. This version has also fixed the purported bugs that have been brought to our attention.<br /><br />Aubrey Swanson<br />aubrey@litsoftware.comAubrey Swansonhttp://www.trialpad.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6987075063509057978.post-27459560821897390052011-07-11T09:35:28.818-07:002011-07-11T09:35:28.818-07:00How embarrassing.

Here is my set up: iPad 2, TrialPad 2.0, Samsung 46" LCD HD TV (model # LN46D630M3FXZA) that I just bought from Best Buy for my conference room.<br /><br />If there is a problem with my set up, maybe TrialPad can publish a list of acceptable devices for running TrialPad? Sure would have been nice to know this before I bought the TV or the app! I have a Dell 5100MP projector I haven't tried it one yet. Will that work?<br /><br />Mr. O'Flaherty, ad hominem attacks aside, seems to have learned something from my posting, so hopefully we all benefit from this.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6987075063509057978.post-48150658743885015512011-07-11T07:41:21.815-07:002011-07-11T07:41:21.815-07:00It has come to my attention that a person with var...It has come to my attention that a person with variations of the name “Stan Mortensen”, posing as an objective user, and even implying he is a litigator, is posting messages on a variety of blogs pointing out a bug that he says he has found in TrialPad 2.0. This is unfortunate since users may now have mistaken impressions about our app and our quality control process.<br /> <br />Our users regularly contact our support [support@trialpad.com], or me directly, with questions they may have, which we address immediately. “Mr. Mortensen” did not contact me or our support, but went to the trouble of posting a questionable YouTube video with his concerns. It’s unclear exactly who “Stan Mortensen” is, though the competitiveness of the app development business, and a simple investigation has led me to the obvious conclusion.<br /> <br />Our team will also be reaching out to the only attorneys we can find with names like “Stan Mortensen,” to make sure that they are not having any difficulties with TrialPad that need our personal attention, or are having their identity misappropriated.<br /> <br />More importantly, while we’ve been unable to reproduce the issue that “Mr. Mortensen” reported, our investigation has uncovered one flaw which we are addressing immediately. Based on my years as a professional trial consultant, the flaw that “Mr. Mortensen” helped us find would in no way lead to the disastrous results he predicts. We’re on it, and there will be a quick update to resolve it. Lit Software is, and has always been, proactive and responsive to our users concerns.<br /> <br />Please note that Lit Software, LLC, the developer of TrialPad, reaffirms here that our business practices will comply with the values of our joint venture partners, Kaufman, Rossin & Co. and Saurian Communications, Inc. We will conduct our business with integrity and take responsibility for our words and deeds, even in the Wild West of the blogosphere. After all, if we’re doing work that we’re proud of, our real names should be on it!<br /> <br />Kind regards,<br /> <br />Ian<br /> <br />---------------------------------------<br />Ian O’Flaherty<br />ian@litsoftware.com<br />Lit Software, LLC<br />Developer of TrialPad for iPadIan O'Flahertyhttp://www.trialpad.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6987075063509057978.post-81151260298392256372011-07-10T22:35:35.277-07:002011-07-10T22:35:35.277-07:00Nasty bug, I bet Ian's head explodes.

I haven't seen these issues before. I wonder if this has anything to do with the external display you're using? I believe it needs to be 1024x768, which is what a typical courtroom projector runs. <br /><br />You are running a wide-screen external monitor, and I wonder if the iPad can't figure that out, or whether it is isolated to TrialPad? You might try another presentation app to see if you have similar results.<br /><br />I could try to replicate the issue, but I'm sure that the TrialPad folks will do that now, and I'll ask that they post their findings here.<br /><br />IMHO, just another reason to call in an expert if you're going to trial, but then that's how I make a living.

The app puts up the wrong exhibits when in presentation mode. There are other significant problems. Here is a video I shot with my iPhone showing these problems:<br /><br />http://youtu.be/YfLVwOeQOF4<br /><br />I tried putting up a review in iTunes, warning of these problems, but some how TrialPad was able to take my review down. They are not being honest about the problems they have.<br /><br />I also question the thoroughness of the law tech blogs that have reviewed TrialPad. I bought it based on these reviews. It does not seem they actually tried using the app in a presentation before posting their reviews, or they would have noticed these significant problems that make the app unusable.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
