Paperpile

I have been looking for a reference manager which syncs automatically between my laptop and iPad. I have used all the more famous ones like Mendeley, Zotero, etc. This one is by far the cleanest, easiest to work with and instantly syncs across multiple devices. You can highlight text, and freely write or draw on PDFs and seemlessly organize references. I wish more researchers started to use it so you could do shared work more easily.

It took me too much effort to adjust the opacity of the texts and equations across multiple PDF files, only to find out that all these settings were reset when I returned to these files later on. This is truly a no-go.

I enjoy using it

Not useable if your institution is not included because you can not add your own PDFs.

Formidable app! better than expected, but would be even better if it could find all the PDF Datas of the Books I wanted to read :) Books like: 50 things every gentleman should know, the power of habit, ego is the enemy or books from stephen king. If we had the chance to put our own PDF datas to read into the app, would be great! still giving 5 stars because the app has everything I wanted.

Amazing reference manager on desktop and mobile. Integrates well with institutional proxies and makes it very easy to find and organize papers. It can export folders to LaTeX’s bibtex format or integrate with Google Docs or Microsoft Word. Because it is using Google Drive for storing PDFs you can use your favorite PDF annotation tools on all platforms - but the integrated PDF reader and annotator is also really good. I’ve been searching for a reference management system fora year and am very glad I finally found Paperpile a few months ago.

Really good bibliographic software that provides tons of options incl. a PDF reader with lots of functions.

Please keep up the updates! We appreciate it!

This used to be great. Now I can’t sync without logging out and in and there seems to be no fix in sight.

This app is not usable any more because we upgraded our shared folder to shared library. And then it is not accessible from the app!
