FastCase Mobile App

Good morning! At our Legal Research class last night (through PDS' Fall Training Program), I had a reference attorney from FastCase come by to show how their search engine works. One key take away from the talk was the ability to access the FastCase Mobile App. To do this, you must download the app from your Itunes or App store and then log into the DC Bar, with your normal login credentials, click on FastCase and once logged in, you will see a link that says "Mobile Sync". Click on that link it will link up your Mobile device to your FastCase account. Once that is done, you will be able to access all your saved Folders on your phone. If you have any questions, please email me OR contact FastCase at support@fastcase.com. Thank you to those who attended last night's event; I hope you found it helpful!
