User reviews

Doesn’t do what’s advertized

This app claims a lot of capabilities, but as far as I can tell it doesn’t do much of anything. It is processing files, but all it’s doing is adding tags in some cases. I would really like my $55 back.

Response from developer

We're sorry Elephant Folio fell short for you. You're right that on some files it only adds tags. That usually happens when a document has no readable text or publication details to work from, so the heavier features (auto-filing, title and author lookup from arXiv, CrossRef and PubMed, and generated summaries) have nothing to act on. We'd like to get it working properly for your files. Please email us at feedback@beroea.tech with an example of what you're seeing and we'll dig in. And if you'd still prefer a refund, Apple handles those at reportaproblem.apple.com. Thanks for giving it a try.

Hidden Gem

Great app if you receive a lot of PDFs, the organization is reliable most of the time, and I think there’s a great potential here as the app grows.
