Note: You must already have a LeanLaw account to use the mobile application.

You can access and add information to your LeanLaw across three platforms: a browser, the desktop application, and the mobile application. This article will cover these frequently asked questions associated with LeanLaw's mobile application:

LeanLaw's mobile app is supported on Android and Apple, and can be downloaded for free from your phone's application store. If you use an Android device, your application store is called Google Play Store. If you use an Apple device, your application store is called App Store.

In your phone, locate and open the application for your application store. As mentioned above, your application store will have a different name depending on the make of your phone.

Once the application store is open, locate the search bar--this will be indicated in the store by either an empty text box or a text box that says "Search for apps & games". Press on the box and type in LeanLaw. Then, press enter to initiate the search.

In the search results, you should see an application called LeanLaw by UserFirst Software--that's us! Press on that application to open its store page.

Now that you're in LeanLaw's store page, select the Install option. This will download and install the LeanLaw software onto your phone. Once that's done, you'll be able to open LeanLaw whenever you want from your phone's applications menu!

Now that you've got LeanLaw installed on your phone, the next step is to log in.

Open LeanLaw by locating and pressing the LeanLaw application which you downloaded using the steps above. If you successfully downloaded the application, you should find it in your phone's application menu.

The first page you see when you open LeanLaw on your phone will be the login page. Press the big, green Login button to be brought to a page where you can enter your credentials.

There are a few ways to enter your credentials.

You should now be logged in and able to add and edit entries for your firm through LeanLaw's mobile application!

Additions and changes on the mobile application don't just save to your phone--they save to your LeanLaw firm. You can view them later from the mobile application, desktop application, or from your browser! This section will show you how to make time entries on the mobile application.

At the bottom of any page of the LeanLaw mobile application, you should see a large green button with a white plus symbol. Press this button and select New Time Entry to begin creating a new time entry.

As with all LeanLaw platforms, you'll need to enter a client, a matter, and a description for your time entry before the program will allow you to save the entry. Go ahead and fill those out.

Optionally, you can also:

Once you've added all information you wish, press the Save button on the top right to save your time entry. You now have a new time entry saved to your LeanLaw!

If you're not already there, navigate to the Time Entry tab by pressing by pressing either the Time Entry text or its calendar icon on the bottom navigation bar. Here, you'll find all time entries created today (you can also navigate to other days' entries with the arrows next to the date). If you wish to edit a time entry, all you have to do is press on the entry in the calendar. This will reopen the Time Entry form and allow you to make changes. Press the Save button on the top right to save your changes.

Adding an expense begins the same way as creating a time entry.

At the bottom of any page on the LeanLaw mobile application, you should see a large green button with a white plus symbol. Press this button and select New Expense to begin creating a new expense.

As with all LeanLaw platforms, you'll need to enter a client, a matter, an amount, and a description for your expense before the program will allow you to save an entry. Go ahead and fill those out. When you're done, press the Save button on the top right to save your entry. You now have a new expense saved to your LeanLaw!

If you're not already there, navigate to the Expenses tab by pressing the Expenses text or its dollar sign icon on the bottom navigation bar. Here, you'll find all expenses created today (you can also navigate to other days' entries with the arrows next to the date). If you wish to edit an expense, all you have to do is find the expense and press it. This will reopen the expense form and allow you to make changes. Press the Save button on the top right to save your changes.

Using timers requires you be on the Timers page. Navigate to Timers by using the navigation bar across the bottom of the application, either by pressing on the Timers text or on its stopwatch icon.

Now that you're on the Timers page, you can start a timer by pressing on either the text Start a new timer or on the red and white play icon beside the text. You'll know a timer is running when its background is red, it displays Recording, and its time is counting up. Note that you can create as many timer entries as you wish, but only one timer may be running at a time.

You can pause a timer by either starting a new timer or by pressing the pause icon to the left of the word Save on the timer. Press the icon again to resume the timer.

Pressing the Save text on a timer, either while it's going or while it's paused, will create a new time entry using the start and stop times from your timer as well as the hours recorded by your timer. All you need to do to turn your timer into a time entry is select a client and matter for your time entry, fill out a description, apply a LEDES code (if your firm uses LEDES), and press Save.

Yes. Whether your entry is a time entry, an expense, or a timer, it can be removed in the same way: simply hold your finger down on the entry and swipe your finger to the left. This will partially slide the entry to the left and reveal a trash can icon to the right of the entry. Press this trash can to reveal a final prompt which asks, "Delete this [entry type]?" Pressing Delete will delete the entry from your LeanLaw.

Currently, no. You can navigate to your Matters list by pressing either the Matters text or its folder icon on the bottom navigation bar. You can use this list to view matter information such as the client connected to the matter, the matter's name, the matter's ID, and the billing type. This information is provided to help you verify that you're assigning time entries and expenses to the correct matter. However, matters are currently view-only on the LeanLaw mobile application.

BONUS: All of your time saved on the mobile application will automatically sync to LeanLaw!
