Useless

It doesn’t show PDF files for the references, you can only open the webpages. It a shame if you are working remotely and cannot connect to your institution internet via VPN.

Useless really…

This app is obsolete in the age of mobile devices

Cannot upload reference to Sciwheel from an iPhone or iPad.

Cannot edit the references of a document on an “iDevice”.

Can only share a reference list from the browser and to other users.

App and browser version have not seen any updates in a while.

Server frequently has issues.

I am calling it quit and will be moving to the competitorZ which does all those things. It’s a shame because Sciwheel is pleasant and simple compared to all the rest out there, but it’s not relevant anymore and feels like it’s heading towards the land of abandonwares.

I LOVE Sciwheel

Although I use sciwheel daily and I love it, the app does not work for me. It will not authenticate to my google account. Crazy!!! Why?!?!? Very annoying.

That said, use sciwheel, it will revolutionize the way you wrote papers! And read them and archive them. It has, no joke, changed my life as a PI.

Missing key features

Landscape view is now functional, but why can I not add a paper like I used to? We used to be able to export a paper from Safari or Chrome directly into the Sciwheel app and now that’s no longer possible on any version of the mobile app especially not on iPad. Also, when are we going to implement drawn annotations? Not being able to use the pencil very well in the iPad app is pretty annoying

Impossible too log in

I log in through "social media account" on the web. The app does not have this option, making it impossible to log in / access my account using the app. Neat feature.
