Sign in issues

I simply couldn’t sign up or sign in to the app on my MacBook, as after using Google or Apple ID to sign up nothing would happen and I would stay on the same page

App fails to load

Signed up but…

Then I found it was a subscription model. Happy to pay but not subscription. The bigger downside is all your data is stored in the cloud; your data is not synced on your local device. So the app is just a pseudo app, just a front end to their website. You may as well use your iPhone browser to access. Big issue for me.

Exactly what I need

I have been using this since 2019 all the way through my degree and current masters. I continued to use it as it is a quick process to accumulate all my references in one place for each project that I am doing. I like the little features, like being able to change the background colours, this is a huge help as I am able to find my projects at a glance on the home page. And the home page is great too as all of my projects reference lists stay there until I delete them. It stores all my references, sometimes hundreds at ease. All in alphabetical order, when I need them in my document all I do is copy+paste! I think the choice of reference style is great too as it can be tailored to suit, I usually use Harvard. Adding references is a really easy process too, choose the type of reference ie:book, article, website the list is vast. I like that I can also add details of sources manually. I can honestly say that I have never had an issue with my references not being found, everything I have searched for has been found and added to my references list. I cannot recommend this app enough, it’s made my whole academic education essay writing so much simpler.
