How to use it

The bottom dock contains Favorites, Explore, Read, and Search. Select a law in Search to open it in Read; laws and articles you save appear in Favorites.

Finding a law

A misspelled query still returns the right law at the top

Type the title. Even with a typo, the closest match is shown.
Related laws share a color. Acts appear as rounded squares; decrees and rules appear as circles.
The date in the list is the effective date, and official short names appear when they exist.
Use the toggle at the top to search administrative rules. The clock icon at the top right shows earlier versions of laws you have opened.

Jumping to an article

The list button at the top right opens a table of contents with the part, chapter, and section structure.
Enter an article number in the search field to jump there. Type 1.2 for Article 1-2.
Enter a word instead and it searches within the text you are reading.

Cross-references and copying

Tapping “Article 55” inside Article 97 opens it right below

Tap a reference inside an article and that article unfolds right below the line you were reading.
You can copy the entire path you followed at once.
The copy button copies the whole article; double-tap an item to copy only that item.
Underlines inside an article mark definitions given in parentheses.

Saving and marking up

The shelf, collected memos, recently viewed laws, and a Civil Act card in Favorites

The bookmark at the top left saves the whole law; the one next to an article title saves just that article.
Press and hold an item in Favorites to reveal share and delete actions.
The shelf lets you organize laws into folders, Collected Memos gathers your notes in one place, and Recently Viewed keeps the last 30 laws you opened.
The shelf, highlights, and memos are available with Beoppering Membership. See membership

Adjusting the reading view

Increase or decrease the text size while reading, and reset it whenever you like.
Changing the reading typeface and locking light or dark mode are membership features.
If that is not enough, iOS and iPadOS can enlarge text for a single app: Settings → Accessibility → General → Per-App Settings → Add App → Beoppering, then adjust Larger Text.

Troubleshooting

A law does not appear

If a law does not appear in search, send us its name and we will review it for inclusion.

Tables or figures in an administrative rule look broken

Administrative rules come in inconsistent source formats, so tables and figures occasionally break. Report it from the app: Favorites tab → (?) button → Contact.

Checking whether the text is current

Amendments are fetched automatically. Even when the list shows an older effective date, the reading view pulls the latest version. To force a refresh, pull the screen down.

Purchases and subscriptions

Restoring a purchase

After changing devices or reinstalling, open the membership screen in the app and tap “Restore purchases”.

Cancellation and refunds

Payments are handled by the stores, so cancellation and refunds happen where you subscribed.
