The integration with MS Word. Seamless! It just works (almost always). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes we have to input the reference manually ... and that's a pain. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Having tried Mendeley for a few years during my PhD, I have shifted to ReadCube recommended by a colleague. The most liked feature for me is the it directly takes you from the references in PDFs to the website and also tells if it is in your library. The SI and metrics are already downloaded and also shows the most relevant research articles in the past few years. The integration across devices is also smooth with software very easy to use.

Only thing is the price, but worth every penny once you start using it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Its a convenient solution to organize my papers and it can be used across all my applications. I have been using Papers and Readcube Papers for almsot 10 years and will never change to anything else. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The desktop app does not get updated very frqeuently, but it works just fine. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I've used since the original version of Papers was released, and it remains just as simple, usable, and powerful as before. Search function, ability to link to library, match functions are all excellent. Customer support was prompt and accurate when I used on 1 occasion at setup, when i had a monor conflict through using a differnet user name than originally - they sorted it out quickly. I use it every day, and it integrates semlessley with Word etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I can't think of anything that really troubles me - its very impressive all round Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The ability to read and (mostly) highlight in the app, both using a desktop, laptop, or tablet. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Mainly, how they eliminated many of the great options that the Papers 3 app provided and that made it unique and useful, including:

1. The cumbersome process to add an intext citation in Mac.

2. How difficult it is to create a book or book chapter reference or ciatation.

3. The lack of option to differentiate authors' first and last names. When an author has more than two last names (which is often), one of those is automatically included as a first name.

4. Having to pay annually.

5. The app is slow and complicated. I have to use the web-based option. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I love the annotaion function and that all pdfs are easy to find. A nice interface to use and works well on my Mac in an increasingly PC skewed software environment. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Can crash sometimes when an update is needed Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Easy download the information of pubilication and pdf files. Just go to the website and import to the library. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

pdf OCR recognition is not equipped, This will help to organize the library When I have scanned document. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like the multiple features, computer app, cloud app, linkage to word documents, cell phone app. You can easily change how you would like to cite your work and there are multiple ways to organize your citations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Linking to microsoft word has glitches, but maybe on the microsoft side. It slows my typing down, so much that I can't use track changes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The program is very for cataloging research articles, including thesis and other material. For some journal, the program downloads the supplementary material automatically. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I would improve the possibility of taking notes with the iPad and the personalization of some export features, e.g., to BibTeX format. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like the pdf drop-in auto-detect feature the most. Syncing and annotating between Mac and iPad is another great feature. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I wish I could simultaneously annotate and write on iPad while the same file is open on Mac. As of now, this creates a mess. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
