Even after having actively monitored changes and differences in the laws of every US state for most of my professional career I'm still astounded by the level of variation. Unfortunately, except for in a few high profile cases or passage of major new legislation most people never hear about it.
Whatever you think about any given law its easy to see that they're ineffective if people don't actually know what they are, and if you think the law says one thing when it really says another that can seriously ruin your day, week, month or more.
There's a lot of variation, on both major and minor issues, and a lot of shockers. ATLAS is here to minimize those shocks - we proactively let you know when laws affecting you change.
Everyone's circumstances are different and we want to make sure you only see what matters to you. No kids? Ignore child seat laws. Lead foot? Stay fully updated on speeding fines.
There's laws for everything under the sun. And not only are they always changing, how they affect you based on your situation is always changing too. Not knowing what's up puts your rights in jeopardy. We want to help with that!

I travel for work (a lot) and second that opinion on the laws. Great example right now is marijuana...

As the chief of policy who has to track state laws and regulations constantly, I feel this would be incredibly beneficial. How often would you make updates so the laws are current?
Can you add Mexico soon? Many people in the US frequently travel to Mexico. It would be extremely helpful to know the laws, especially pharmaceuticals and bringing it back to the US for personal use as well as alcohol and guns. I think this would be really important for those who cruise and also live in border States.
@theganz Mexico and Canada are actually first on our list once we go international! Great suggestions as well Kim, we'll make sure to take note and incorporate those issues in future builds.

Great and very useful idea! How does this app affect the phone battery? Do you have a projected date of release for iOS?
