Makes life so EASY!
This is a wonderful reference manager! I’ve been needing to find a great manager that allows me to organize and sort my papers as I wish and this app does just that! I love how easy it is to organize my references as well as sort out certain papers based on a label. It was so easy to sign in to my university account to get access to all the journals out there AND I don’t have to re-sign in! It’s so seamless everytime!! I also think that annotating the document is pretty easy and smooth. There is one thing I will say though that I wish Paperpile did offer, and that is the ability to “cite while you write”. I know some other managers offer that and I really think it would be a great way to level up this application to a different level. Overall, a really great reference manager that I enjoy!
United Stateslove the web version, but iOS version doesn’t work
the iOS version doesn’t upload PDFs or download synced PDFs. Instead it freezes. very annoying, as one of the primary things I want to be able to do is read and annotate on an iPad.
United StatesKeep crashed on ios12 ipad mini2
Great app! Not sure why after installing the app, i cannot open the app on ipad mini2/iOS 12, and kept crashing. Could you help to troubleshoot. Thanks
United StatesCrash on iOS
As titled. Why is it necessary at all to update the app only to make it useless??
United StatesGreat but a little bare bones
I prefer this reference manager over all of the others on the market, but I do find it lacking in a few features that would add so much to the user experience. For one, it would be great if we could upload PDF files of journal articles directly from the iPhone or iPad app instead of having to go on the Chrome web app to do so (because of the way my institution proxy access works, automatic downloads only work around ~80% of the time). It would also be nice to see some more configuration options in the settings menu. I also want the ability to manually edit citation fields. In the case of some older papers going back decades, the digital archiving isn’t perfect so my collection of citations doesn’t look as neat & tidy as I’d like. These minor grievances aside, it is really a great system and I will continue to rely on Paperpile for my references.
United StatesCan’t log in to university account on Mobile.
I use Paperpile through the online application and chrome extension, and it is generally a good citation manager. However, the padOS / iOS application is unusable due to the inability to log in to my university account which has an authentication layer. The Google login has an authentication error for all login attempts, and if I attempt to circumvent that issue by logging in online on my iPad I get the infuriating prompt that I should download the app. For this to be worth my while, one of two things needs to happen. 1. Disable the painfully obnoxious prompt to download the app when on a mobile device, or 2. get the (university) authentication layer to work when using the google login option.
United States5 stars but…
It is the best one I've used, I would definitely give 5 stars. However, please please please fix the issue of highlighting function for iPad. If I highlight something with one color and some content is kind of overlapping with that, the color of the previously highlighted content will be changed unexpectedly if I change the color of the overlapped content. It is really annoying. I hope it will be fixed soon.
