Import papers function non-functional
After this major update, I can no longer import papers from this app to my library. The safari plugin works, in that an article is added to the import section of this app, but there is no way to then take that item imported into the app and add it to the library. I can see where to do it, there is just no functionality to do it.

Very buggy pdf annotation
Many bugs since the new update, including highlighted and underlined sections spontaneously disappearing, making PDF annotation a tedious and long process. I like the integrated AI on the desktop version, but I use my iPad for annotation so that I can take advantage of the Apple pen, but since new update, this is difficult because of all the bugs while using the Apple pen. Also lost the ability to easily access the synced PDF on computer, which is frustrating when you want to send and share PDFs. I’m likely moving back to Zotero soon. Better tags, organization of files, and fewer bugs for a fraction of the cost.

Terrible update
I used to love readcube, but now I’m considering canceling my subscription. The mobile app is almost unusable - there is no easy way to open a PDF and email out a copy for example (like you used to be able to). You have to log in to your desktop, open the PDF, download the PDF and then attach to an email.

Please stop updating
I normally welcome any app updates, but for the case of Readcube, please stop doing so. As a royal user since the Mac Papers era, I observed that Readcube has a reputation of breaking already-working things down and updating with useless/unnecessary updates. For this time, the new UI is extremely stupid and you need to click more buttons than what it needs before. Please stop doing stupid updates

So not reliable
The app does not work properly (cannot highlight text) and customer support was down. Not the first time it was down. Simple app but not reliable. Canceled my subscription.
