### 5/5 — This is the arXiv reader I've been looking for.

*2024-07-23*

Although I'm used to checking the arXiv website from time to time to read the latest papers and have used websites that help summarize papers by uploading PDF files, this app meets three of my needs: 1. Being able to check recent paper updates even when I'm not at my computer; 2. Seeing which popular papers are being discussed by everyone; 3. Avoiding the cumbersome process of downloading and uploading PDF files and instead reading papers and chatting with ChatGPT about this paper directly on my iphone.
