User reviews

Nice app!

Simple app but super useful. This is the perfect app i need for my PhD.

Recommend for managing papers

Organizing papers is always a mess for me: downloading a paper from arxiv for example, I have to rename the file, go through my folders to look for a place to save it; while reading, I have to go to google scholar again to check the citations and references. For someone who has to read machine learning papers all the time, this app solves all the problems above. Absolutely recommend!
