I've thoroughly enjoyed this app; I also use it on my iPad and Mac as well. The syncing and integration is super useful. The only thing I find lacking is the S-pen functionality. I find that the latency is higher than other apps that allow for annotations, though I don't notice this on my iPad. Improving this would remove my only major gripe with the app. For reference, I use a Note 20 Ultra.
The search function is abysmal. Doesnt even find an article with a PMID. This app needs some serious bug fixes. Especially since you have to pay for the readcube service these days. All I want is to be able to add papers I find on twitter etc to readcube to read the following day on my computer when I am at Uni - with the journal access rights.
It would be better if dark mode option was provided in the settings for android 9 and lower devices... Cheers on the new UI... It's awesome..👍👍
I like ReadCube Papers but the mobile Android experience is a disaster. Reading is cool, the zooming feature works. But when you want to highlight from a text, going down some lines, your realize you can't even see the words hidden behind the highlight menu. Embarrassing. More importantly it's a nightmare to actually import papers manually either from a website or manually from a pdf. I can't believe the desktop app is so good and the mobile one is miserable. It's not self sufficient in a pinch
Updated: Huge improvements in UI and features over previous versions. Thank you for the continued development and not abandoning your mobile-first users. Old: Importing references via the "share with" button just shows the library instead of importing the reference. This makes the app rather useless and inferior to it's competitors. Update: People have been complaining about this for 1.5 years at least now. Please enable import from url (as in desktop) and not only from pdf.
New UI 3.0 is much improved and better. Thanks to the developers.
No option to login, it always takes me to the create account page even though already have an account
Great content
Good app for syncing and reading academic papers. It is extremely promising, but this particular app needs work. There is no download pdf option in case you want to use a better pdf reader. Copying text only copies the first word you selected, not the rest. Search feature uses Google scholar, which does not help in quickly defining words. Integration with S pen would be awesome. Features from the browser app would be nice too, such as supplemental access. Could use a cleaner UI.
I have used this suite of products for three years now and the company has genuinely pushed to improve the bugs and such because they will personally communicate with you about issues and make sure you are enjoying the service.
