What do you like best about ReadCube?

With ReadCube Papers I am able to keep up with my extensive library of PDFs. Instead of having all my files scattered around different folders and devices, RCP allows me to keep one main library that I've easily organized into tags and folders. I also like that I can access my library from any device. Since my work computer is a Windows and I have a Mac at home I like knowing my libraries will sync between each other. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ReadCube?

I would like to have the ability to use SmartCite in other platforms, like Google Docs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is ReadCube solving and how is that benefiting you?

Unorganized library structure with PDFs saved throughout several folders. I don't download duplicates anymore because the Chrome extension tells me what articles I have already downloaded. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering ReadCube:

If you need a robust program that puts your literature at your fingers at all times, a beautiful catch-all solution to reviewing the literature and organizing, all packaged in apps that cross multiple platforms and have web access, this is the product for you. If you need support for any reason, support is amazing and ready to assist you at moment's notice. I highly recommend it and am elated to have found it for myself. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is ReadCube solving and how is that benefiting you?

I have organized a ton of literature from coursework, research, impending comprehensive exams, and dissertation preparation. Having unlimited space with syncing to the cloud and across devices (with really robust apps on each platform) has made life so much easier and put critical information at my fingertips. Thank you!

What do you like best about ReadCube?

I love that this reference manager is primarily cloud based so I can access my library anywhere. I have also been impressed by the ability of the application to automatically match and insert the correct metadata when importing new manuscripts. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ReadCube?

There are still several features that were present in Papers3 that are not present in ReadCube. Some of the sorting mechanics and list creation abilities are lagging behind. I also wish that the magic citation function was not tied into an add-on for Microsoft Word since my university edition does not allow for add-on capabilities.

What do you like best about ReadCube?

It's very easy to use. I was not expecting to like it when I first started because I'd used other tools and had low expectations. Within 15 minutes, the PDF sprawl that have taken over my computer was gone, and I even had tags and folders set. I also really like that I can mark up research papers using my iPad and a stylus. Also - their support team is great. I had an issue thanks to my office firewalls and they jumped on a call with my IT group and got everything sorted within 15 minutes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ReadCube?

It would be nice to see more legal databases indexed, searchable through the apps. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is ReadCube solving and how is that benefiting you?

I had so many papers and ended up creating a overly complicated combo of renaming files and clever folder structure became a real chore to maintain. I love how I can drag and from into the app and everything get identified, is searchable, accessible. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about ReadCube?

Their browser extension is phenomenal. They let you import papers and live stream any papers you have in your library right on Google Scholar, Journal Sites etc. It's hard to explain but when you try it - you'll be hooked. We have a team license so the shared folders are also a great feature - easy to set up and are heavily used by everyone. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ReadCube?

I wish there was a desktop app for Linux. I have Windows machine at word and Linux at home. The web app has most of the core features so I make it through. I'd prefer if it was free but it's without a doubt pays for itself. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering ReadCube:

Just try it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is ReadCube solving and how is that benefiting you?

It's not hard to find papers in your general area of interest. It is, however, hard to find the right papers when you are crunched for time. This new ReadCube Papers app is fast & filled with some unique things I haven't seen anywhere else - like contextual citations, a very solid recommendation engine and cool metrics and linked data. Their PDF reader grew on me - in part because having the supplements automatically load is great. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
