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

Not Workingv

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.

Not working on 2017 ipad pro

After clicking on sign up or login with email it just shows a blank page and doesn’t let me go back

Rubbish

I’ve used the for my MSc dissertation, I’ve just exported the references to find loads of details wrong/missing and had to spend 12+ hours fixing them.

Thankfully I was a few days ahead and had time, but it’s meant I’ve lost 2 days of my holiday ☹️

Best in class citation manager

This is simply the best citation manager out there, and the most appropriate tool for most academic and student writing, especially in the humanities.

I’ve been using the web and Mac-based versions for years now and was pleasantly surprised to discover it has an iPhone app and that it’s so well and elegantly designed.

This is the tool that gets the various referencing formats, but also allows for the art of referencing.

The main reason I only have it at four stars for the iOS app is that it appears the export functions could be more communicative— it not always clear where the expected data will end up. (Clipboard, Word app, etc. ). Also, it seems that the copy function does not preserve formatting, namely italics / underlining, which actually would be a pretty substantial time-saver if it did.

Great app for keeping all your references in one place

Great app that makes papers easier

The app is really helpful for managing references and writing papers. It would be nice if it was more stable and could copy and paste without formatting issues into word.

It doesn’t work

Too good to be true.
Once open and try to use any of its features collapses or closes unexpectedly.
I trie a few times to scan and upload a few books but all attempts failed, suddenly stop working or screen just go white and collapsed.
I was really exited about this but it really sucks, so don’t waste your time.

Klasse App, sehr nützlich!

Super Programm, sehr hilfreich und leicht verständlich. Kann ich nur empfehlen!

Scanner doesn’t work

When scanning a UK barcode of a novel in English, the iPhone app returned a selection of translated works in German

Fantastic app- but now you have to pay for it

This was really a very good app, it let you change your referencing style, put everything in alphabetical order, got some information for you, etc, but now you have to pay an unreasonable amount to use it. Really disappointed, surely there would be some other way to make money off of this app?

Era buena pero la hicieron de paga

No vale la pena pagar por la aplicación

Doesn’t work since the update, developer unresponsive

I have a fully paid up subscription of the previous version, but since updating to 2.0 it does work. The touch screen doesn’t work on my iPad, and on my phone I can open the bibliographies but it won’t save new citations. I emailed the developer 4 days ago and I have had no response. I am a student with deadlines and I need to get this resolved.
