EndNote

Missing crucial features that are now used in the desktop version, such as tags.

Honestly I don’t think the developers had the user in mind when creating this app. It feels like a copy of the desktop database when in reality, people want this app to read and annotate. For instance, I tag papers that I want to read first, but this app doesn’t even support searching by tags.

As a long-time Endnote user, I very much appreciate having Endnote on my iPad as an extension of the desktop app and my reference database. However, the experience is diminished by features that are missing on the iPad version. Specifically, smart groups and tags, which are very useful organizational tools in the desktop version, are not available in the iPad app. As a result, I lose important elements of my reference organization on my iPad. Tags functionality, in particular, is at the top of my wish list for inclusion in the next update.

Overall can get synced references, but not very easy to use. Search is clunky.

No update, still unavailable in iOS after submitting my review.

I like EndNote on Mac. EndNote for iPad is not too bad, until the last upgrade. Since version 3.5, I can’t open the app on my iPad any more. How to fix the problem?

Scam danger. Many glitches, crashes and bugs. Worked great in 1990’s but EndNote is now an attempt to grab a pool of money from academia ivory towers. Zero attempt at anything other than collecting money. It will never work - hours on hold with libraries and tech support. EndNote is a scam - they steal credit card for a service that will not work. Avoid at all costs! Does not work as advertised! The developers of the app should be put in jail.

I understand that the excitement to develop a reference manager program has decreased overtime due to free apps. However, I am an Endnote user for more than 20 years. Thus, regular users deserve a better app for iOS, as this is the most effective way to read and annotate research articles.

I was attempting to use this app to add research notes for an annotated bibliography. Frustratingly, the app closed whenever I attempted to use voice to text, to dictate my notes. I resorted to typing them in on my phone keyboard. They did not save, the app again, closed unexpectedly, and I lost all my work.

If I annotate a file on the Endnote iPad, it gets corrupted and no longer opens on my laptop. This glitch makes the app useless to me.
