Can’t Edit
You can look, but you can’t touch.
Yes, the presentation is nice, but the lack of any kind of editing function makes the app largely useless for me.

A fantastic app for everyone using Bibdesk on Dropbox
The title of this review says it all!
Thanks Benjamin to keep updating this wonderful well written app! The whole scientific and engineering communities using Bibdesk are forever in debt with you.
I just wish there was a similar app that was even barely functional running on Android… :-)

Unique
A well made app with unique functionality. I’m really glad it continues to be developed and maintained!
Not obvious that you can only view libraries
I purchased this app as a way of being able to manage by .bib files on my iPad. I did not, however, realise that this is an app exclusively for viewing a bibtex library, not editing one!
As a basic bibtex viewer, the app is fine and does this well enough. However, that is all the app can do. Display your references, and let you use the links or view some metadata about each entry. That is all it does.
Not what I wanted unfortunately. Refund requested.

Such a great app
This is by far the easiest app to use for viewing bibtex libraries on iOS/iPad. It’s ththe only one that lets you decide where to keep your attachments and be able to view them from the app. One small feature request: an option to authors for entries display entries like Last Name, First Name. :)
Good
This is a very solid app which works well with JabRef. There are 2 gripes though:
1) there is no refresh button, which would be handy when updating the library on another device
2) someone else already mentioned that they are missing an annotation feature. I do so too, in fact that is what stops me using this app more often.

Works well. I need 1 feature
Hi, it works with my export from Zotero and files available in MyFiles location. However I can’t seem to add folder from external location ex: external hdd attached to my iPad Pro. So it requires me to copy the attachment folder to MyFiles.
Please add this feature.
Please add this feature.
Disappointing
The app only allows viewing BibTeX files, not editing them. I was disappointed with that.
No editing
Finally an app where I can look at my bibtex documents from Jabref! It would be even better if I could edit my bibtex file. Please dear developer team, this is really an issue. It won‘t have to be as elaborate as in Jabref, but adding new entries and linking pdfs would make this app perfect! :)
Useless Application
Can’t comprehend why Rs. 269 is charged for a useless application like this. Clearly I was fooled by the 5 Star review. Do not buy this app. I repeat, DO NOT BUY this app. It’s a total crap!
The application is only for viewing bib items only. It would be great if we could add bib items/ reference to the existing .bib file. It does not open the pdf attachments when linked to Dropbox.

Response from developer
Hi - it would perhaps be helpful to know what you were expecting? The app description tries to be fairly comprehensive about what the app is meant for and who its intended users are.
Great app but YOU MUST USE JABREF
Link pdf with jabref “file” file in bibtex
Response from developer
Hi - did you try linking the folder containing the PDFs? (This is how you tell iPadOS that it should allow the app to read your files.)
Would be perfect with Synology Drive support
Really great app with awesome experience! It would be perfect if it supports Synology Drive! Do you think it is feasible to add this feature to load attachment from a folder synced by Synology Drive in near future?
Dropbox synchronization would be good
This is a nice product. I keep my .bib file on Dropbox and it can read it, but it cannot automatically sync it. So if you change stuff on the Mac side, it does not automatically see it on the IOS side. Apparently it can sync if the .bib file is on iCloud, but I keep everything on Dropbox, so that doesn’t help.

Great potential!
Finally! I have been looking for this since PocketBib
disappeared.
I only hope it will get better at connecting to other
sources; I use “FileBrowser” (app) to connect to
a UNIX system, and can connect libraries via that app
but not folders.
If this gets to work, this will give me a perfect workflow
(back/again)
Great with NextCloud access! - Now please add WebDAV also for folders.

Sync.com Request
This is a great app, but I wondered if References app could also sync cloud files from Sync.com.
Need Apple Pencil Support while reading PDF using the inbuilt PDF viewer
Apple Pencil Support while reading PDF using the inbuilt PDF viewer needs to be added to make this app a full fledged app.
Not bad!
As a bibdesk user this app is really what I need, allowing me to access my library seamlessly. Handy.
I wonder if it’s possible, when opening attached PDFs, to have the option of opening it in other viewers e.g. acrobat? Currently one can only import it to acrobat, but then it creates a new file. If there’s an option to open the file in acrobat directly I thought it really completes the workflow. Thanks!

Promising Jabref alternative on the IPAD
First of all thank you for this App. I really like that it also imports my groups created with Jabref.
Some issue:
- References doesn‘t include the full structure of the Jabref groups (e.g. subgroups). That would be an amazing improvement.
- Integrated PDF viewer is very static. This is fine for me as I‘d rather read and annotate in PDFExpert. Unfortunately, exporting to PDFExpert creates a copy of the document and the annotations are not in the original files.
Also my workflow mostly involves working with a single bibtex file. I therefore don‘t need the menu on the left at all times.

Responsive and roboust reference manager
This is an excellent responsive and roboust reference manager software easy to use. It makes easy to search for specific references and provide all details in a neat clean format.
