Mendeley (PDF Reader) App Reviews

195 add

Superbugged and not compatible with iOS5

It would be great but it crashes often and it doesnt work at all on iOS5. An update is required...

Two issues to revise

Although it is free, the app should allow highlight directly from mobile devices (or at least a PRO version should do). Also, it is frequently crashing. Nonetheless I appreciate it; please fix the above mentioned issues. Thank you!

U-u

ugly and useless

Awesome!

Great app! ...but it would be better if the developers will include the possibility to download files once selected instead of all of them during sync! ...and include the option for opening links on other browsers!

Papers is better

How can I read in full screen? Why there arent tools underline and notes like in the desktop version? Still a lot of work to be done

The mendeley app we deserved

We really miss a great Mendeley app for iPad...and finally we got it! Useful, works also with my huge library, sync is always smooth. I rate it four stars just because I am confident that the Mendeleys team will release further updates to reach the fifth star.

Very useful app

I work in a scientific library and I use this app for my job

Should allow more editing

I cannot add new PDF or add new bibliographical data. Please improve.

Cant login anymore since the last update

It was perfect. Now I can only connect through the desktop app or via web. Cant login anymore via the iOS app :(

Needs highlighting and annotating features

Desperately needs highlighting and annotating.

Cant research without it

Love

Really great and app does have highlighting and annotation

Mendeley is one my most essential research tools. It keeps my paper library sorted and organized, syncs across my computers and iPad, and keeps my notes with them. Its simple to import files, (drag and drop on the desktop version or open with in the ap) and citation info almost always reads In Automatically from the PDFs. Its easy to highlight and make notes in the text or summary notes on the side. Just hold down finger in app to start highlight or add annotation. It integrates with word for writing and reference lists. It is free. Really, what else is there to ask for? This system is great. The desktop version is a bit easier to use than the app, but it is nice to have access when I am on the run to check something or make a quick note.

No cloud support

Funny, in which century are we living...such an up has no support for Dropbox etc. in addition highlights are not visible outside of the app. Guys, please check out the other apps and see how cloud integration and highlight can be written.

Perfect app for managing papers. Reader could use improvements.

The most common use of this app in mobile devices would be to read papers, unlike desktop app where it would mainly be used for managing library. Given that, Id expect the reader to have more features, or allow external annotations.

Invaluable

Best reference manager Ive found. Easy to download articles, annotate them on PC or iPad, sort, select, search and import into Word with almost flawless APA formatting. An invaluable tool for my dissertation.

iPhone unhighlight

Where is it? Does it even exist? It shouldnt be that hard to unhighlight. Liner app has pretty easy option but Liner app doesnt have highlighting for pdf on mobile. If I cant unhighlight with Mendeley on iPhone, then it leaves me with no room for mistakes. Thats unreasonable. How to resolve it? Simple. Make Unhighlighting a breeze w/ no questions asked process. I need that mobile pdf highlighter that I can the export those highlights into a CLEAN note form.

I hate the password timeout

The app is mostly OK except for logging me out every day. Its an app for reading papers not a banking system.

Please add Pencil support

This app is great as a PDF organizer and viewer, but as an app designed to interact with PDFs it falls a little short. Please add Apple Pencil or Bluetooth stylus support to improve the experience

PLEASE add citation plugin to this app

This app is great for researching and applying articles Please add the plugin to this app so that we can use it in word or pages app as well!!

Nice app but more features please

Please add these features! Highlight on scanned PDFs even if its just highlight block! On both the phone and desktop apps, please add more annotation features: highlight in different colors, text directly onto PDF (like writing in margins), simple shapes (like Apple Preview annotation options, shape borders no fill, lines for underlining text, arrows, etc.) This app could be PERFECT! Thank you!
