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!

Annotations

Please let us do annotation in app also

다소 버그가 있지만 작성한 annotation이 mendeley 앱과 호환되는 점이 이 어플이 가진 최고의 장점입니다.

업데이트가 된지 오래되어 다소 버그가 있지만 제목의 목적을 위해서는 아직 papership의 대체제가 없습니다. 한번씩 멘델레이 앱과 동기화 오류가 발생하여 papership을 새로고침할때마다 멘델레이 앱에 논문이 계속 복제되는 문제가 발생하긴 하는데 papership을 재로그인 하면 해결되긴합니다.

Ya no funciona con Zotero

Después de más de cinco años sin actualizarse, pasó lo inevitable… Ya no es posible entrar a la cuenta de Zotero.
Fue muy buena aplicación en su momento, sin embargo, ya no es recomendable.

Was the app abandoned?

After Mendeley being excluded from the App Store for iPhone and iPad, I’ve been searching for something to replace it. PaperShip is ok, but got some long standing issues that are not being addressed for years.

can’t login with zotero

failed at the very first step

Would discourage anyone from using this app

I would highly discourage anyone from using this app.

The app has bugs and there is no support for the app.

I realize that a year worth of my academic work is down the drain and it is scary to trust the app with further research output.

Great!

Love it, works smoothly, and perfect synchro with mendeley.

Ücretli üyeliğim artık çalışmıyor

Uygulamayı dijital arşiv olarak kullanıyordum Ücretli üyelik almıştım ama telefon değişikliği nedeniyle hiç bir şekilde giriş yapamıyorum kullanıcı adımı kabul etmiyor bu yüzden dosyalarıma ulaşamıyorum

Efficient

Took a while to understand how to work around the app. However, afterwards the ability to pull up any reference with notes at the hand of your fingerprints was exceptional!

Why highlight not appearing in the application

Dear Developer,
I hope this email finds you well. I am writing to inquire about an issue I am experiencing with the highlight feature in your application, paperShip . It seems that the highlight feature is not appearing or reflecting as expected as in Mendele

Buena app

Siento que es muy útil al momento de resaltar y me gusta que tenga la sincronización automática con mendeley, es un excelente organizador y lector para tus documentos. En lo personal lo utilizo más para lo académico.

No longer works for new connections to Zotero

App has been abandoned by dev and the API key process no longer functions. Do not purchase. It used to be very good but alas, tis no more

Papership will NOT sync annotations with Mendeley

If you're getting this app to make annotations on a PDF through the Papership app and have it sync to Mendeley, it will NOT. Would not recommend buying the annotation package either since it doesn't sync them. I emailed customer service weeks ago about this and never got a response. This app has great potential but unfortunately it is not taken care of by the producers of the app.

Doesn’t work w/ Zotero

Thanks for this great app. It’s amazing w/ mendeley. But can’t log in w/ zotero. Pls fiiiix it. Tnx

Cannot Sync Zotero

I was excited to try this app but it will not sync with my Zotero. I reached out to support and will adjust my rating if we are about to troubleshoot this.
