Leave a Review EndNote
Average UX
While it does some things well, like allowing you to view your references, downloading references from websites is clunky and so is downloading pdfs to attach to a reference.
The worst though is the pdf viewer/editor which is confusing. There are two annotation pallets, depending on how you pull the function up. Secondly, the thumbnail/page selector is at the bottom of the screen meaning closing the app changes the page you're on so I have to find my page each time I close the app. So annoying!Show less0mar2010
iOS version can’t CWYW
Really disappointment there’s no CWYW feature on iOS. I’m a longtime user that might have to change citation tools now that my workflow is completely on iPad.research_student
Developer Response
We're sorry there isn't a workflow yet that isn't entirely on the iPad for inserting and formatting citations. While we investigate this large step in the EndNote iPad app, the best workaround we currently have is the one from the Getting Started Guide, where users can copy a temporary citation, to be updated using Cite While You Write in a Desktop version of Word with either the Online, or Desktop version of the EndNote Word tools. A useful link for this is here: https://support.clarivate.com/Endnote/s/article/EndNote-for-iPad-Cite-While-You-Write?language=en_US It contains a useful recording of the workaround. Again, we apologize this isn't a function of the EndNote iPad app just yet.Simply will not log in
The frustration of having such an excellent app on my computer and being completely unable to get it to work on my iPad!Lak1234
I love endnote but not the buggy iOS version
I’ve been using endnote since it first came out more than 20 years ago. I love love love the PC version and have taught classes in it many times. I was sooooo excited when the iOS version came out, and I’ve tried to patiently give it time to fix the bugs, but I’ve now been using it for several years, and I’m still disappointed. It takes **a long time** to sync — like 20-30 minutes typically — which just seems like a really long time to have to sit there with the app open — and then it crashes and doesn’t actually sync. So, I’ve resigned to just using it as a static document, where the concept of edits is out of the question. I really really want to love this, but this syncing problem is going to have to get fixed for that to happen.Show lessJfishgoddess
much improved
I found the current version (3.2) to be very much improved. Syncs well with my Mac OS version. Search functions improved and the advanced search is recommended. The web browser that is provided is useful and additional web sites can be added. It does take a little time and effort to learn what the app can do but I think it is worthwhile to explore it thoroughly. Perhaps a video tutorial would be nice for new users.Show lessPoidog7
Good so far but some bugs
Really want to give this 5 stars but there’s some bugs and missing features holding it back. 4 stars with bug fixed, 5 with feature added
KEY BUG: citations within ‘groups’ do not show in the groups section of the library. My library syncs, shows all references within the ‘my library’ folder’, says there’s x references within a group, but does not display these references when navigated to the groups folder (displays as if it were blank)
KEY FEATURE PLS: The ‘notes’ part of citations is really limited. I would love it if, after annotating a PDF within the endnote app, I could then write a summary of the paper in a way that is easy to view at a glance (when looking through grouped citations in my library). When writing such notes, I need to be able to use formatting. This would eliminate me needing to keep a seperate word document of paper summaries and allow me to streamline my lit review into one system/locationShow lessNobody1234567890987654321
Endnote App works now!!!
I used this app about a year ago and it was not what it should’ve been, but now my primary library was able to actually be imported!!! I haven’t really tried much else but that was impossible when I first downloaded the app so I’m happy to give this review to help support the app makers. I hope every one has a good experience. Im a grad student who bought the desktop version almost 3 years ago and it’s so much better than zotero or mendley because of the plugins and now hopefully this app adds to that even more. I recommend buying the desktop version m.Show lessThePlantChemist
Great app for iPad
Some of the bad reviews that I see are quite old. I think the app is great if you use endnote to manage references and store papers. The annotation function seems to work great with Apple Pencil. I will use this app a lot for my research!Pierrej1990
Great for Doctoral students but crashes
I LOVE how organized this app keeps all my literature for my projects. The browser and MS Word plug-ins make Endnote special compared to other similar services. Only problem is that the app crashes when I’m annotating PDFs - another one of my favorite features. Hoping this is just a bug that can be fixed!Show lessHewo kiddy
Continues pdf scrolling mode
Please add an options to scroll through pdf continually instead of going through it page by page.Farshad_violet
