Leave a Review Sciwheel
This app is obsolete in the age of mobile devices
Cannot upload reference to Sciwheel from an iPhone or iPad.
Cannot edit the references of a document on an “iDevice”.
Can only share a reference list from the browser and to other users.
App and browser version have not seen any updates in a while.
Server frequently has issues.
I am calling it quit and will be moving to the competitorZ which does all those things. It’s a shame because Sciwheel is pleasant and simple compared to all the rest out there, but it’s not relevant anymore and feels like it’s heading towards the land of abandonwares.Show lessAmygaZ
I LOVE Sciwheel
Although I use sciwheel daily and I love it, the app does not work for me. It will not authenticate to my google account. Crazy!!! Why?!?!? Very annoying.
That said, use sciwheel, it will revolutionize the way you wrote papers! And read them and archive them. It has, no joke, changed my life as a PI.Show lessK Stina 1
Missing key features
Landscape view is now functional, but why can I not add a paper like I used to? We used to be able to export a paper from Safari or Chrome directly into the Sciwheel app and now that’s no longer possible on any version of the mobile app especially not on iPad. Also, when are we going to implement drawn annotations? Not being able to use the pencil very well in the iPad app is pretty annoyingShow lessKelsey_Violet
Impossible too log in
I log in through "social media account" on the web. The app does not have this option, making it impossible to log in / access my account using the app. Neat feature.Ben Mat.
Great service, interface needs improvement
I love Sciwheel and use it as my primary source manager. The web interface is amazing but the app lacks landscape mode and cannot see the tags that were put in the web version. This would be a 5/5 for me if I could use this app as a exact replacement of the web versionTomSuarezO
save yourself some frustration and use the website.
I like the Sciwheel service. I use it almost everyday. It is not perfect, but has what I need to get my work done. However, I do not recommend installing this app. It seems unfinished as of Oct 2021. For me the issue that made it unusable is lack of landscape orientation. I use an iPad pro with a keyboard, so portrait mode is not going to work for me. Another issue is with sign on. I log into Sciwheel using another service. SSO is not implemented yet. My conclusion is that using the website offers a better experience even though there are issues with that on the iPad too.
Just my opinion, but when people are selling a service and lack the resources to create a polished app, they do themselves more harm than good by releasing a frustrating app. Effort would probably be better spent on making the website more compatible with mobile web browsers.Show lessantisaccade
Needs lots of work
As many others have pointed out already, this app doesn’t support landscape view on the iPad, which makes it practically useless.
Also, when I’m trying to add a note/highlight to a PDF article that I have uploaded, the PDF jumps back to the beginning, which makes it very hard to interact with the section I’m trying to comment on. It doesn’t seem like this app is receiving much attention from the developers, which is a shame, because the desktop/laptop version is quite useful. The lack of useful features on the iPad version means that I cannot count on my iPad as a replacement for my laptop. This is a shame, because it is one of the only apps holding me back from using my iPad full time.
I will be investigating Zotero options on the iPad to see if they’re any better.Show lessj micah
Many places need to be improved
I really love the desktop version of Sciwheel, and I strongly recommend developers to spend some time improving the mobile app version from the following perspectives: -Enable horizontal view -Tags can be added -Offer multiple highlighting colors (now you only offer blue…) -Reference list can be filtered and sorted Thanks!Show lessxianglalala
Bring back F1000
Not only was it a better name but the iPad app actually worked unlike this one which refused to do anything at all when it opens - endless blank screen. iPad pro 12 inch 2018.switchingtogooglekeep
Useless
This app is supposed to be working on ipad?
Well it does not work in a landscape mode, so most of the time it is useless.Koqt
