Crash

Can’t even connect with Google Drive

does not work

right after downloading the app, i opened it; it goes right away to “file browser” and displays an error “disallowed_useragent”; it is not possible to choose “google drive” as instructed. i’m on an ipad pro running ios 12.1.1.
hope you guys get this fixed, i was very much looking forward to this app.

Google No longer allows in app oauth login

So . . . It won’t work from the start as it tried to use it to login and is stopped dead.

Does not work at all

The app’s reliance on Google Drive renders it useless. Whenever I open it, I get this message from Google:

This user-agent is not permitted to make an OAuth authorization request to Google as it is classified as an embedded user-agent (also known as a web-view). Per our policy, only browsers are permitted to make authorization requests to Google. We offer several libraries and samples for native apps to perform authorization requests in the browser.

There is no way to move beyond this screen. It’s too bad: at this point there is no iOS analogue to BibDesk on Mac, so I was thrilled when I found this app. However, since it is essentially useless, .bib files still cannot be viewed in any useful way on iOS devices — at least in the US. The market gap is actually pretty shocking. I wish iBibTeX had been the solution.
