Login Issues with Zotero

Ipad version of this app no longer works with zotero, as it has not incorporated the captcha part of the login and any attempts to login will be rejected due to never having the ability to solve the captcha.

Worst thing ever

Too expensive and syncing process is very bad, I will use zotero

Does not work with Zotero

It seems as though the “OAuth” handshake with zotero does not work anymore. Do not download if you want to sync with zotero.

Terrible login UI

Not sure whom to blame for making it downright impossible to login into zotero. But if you can’t manage that then what’s the point of this app

Unusable anymore

I tried to open my Zotero library, using PaperShip, but then it said to open Safari to grant PaperShip access to my Zotero library, which I did. The Settings indicated that an access key had been created for PaperShip, yet the app was unable to access my Zotero library. The app hasn’t had updates for years. In the meantime, Zotero has released an iOS app that works fine. Farewell, PaperShip!
