Papers by ReadCube

Lack the function to look up words in the application.

可以用網頁插件儲存paper很好用 閱讀上搭配平板跟觸控筆讓劃重點跟寫註記都很好用，如可以增加匯入bibtex到overleaf的功能就更好了。

為什麼這麼晚才出現ಥ_ಥ

Good user interface and influent app

Good, easy to use

An essential task is missing — seamlessly add a paper to the library. What I hope: Get a paper from iPhone web browser -> Send it to -> Papers App -> Access to Papers library -> Add to a folder. What it does: Send it as “imported webpage” -> Add -> still a webpage. This is very annoying. In contrast, Zotero can easily make it happen.

I have been using Papers for years but I am surprised to find that some essential tools are still missing on the iPad client. Please implement erasers, undo/redo buttons for the writing tools. Also the pen stroke recognition can be improved, it feels very weird at the moment. Update: While the developer has been fully invested in “AI” gimmicks that no real user asks for, the highlighting and handwriting tools are still buggy and clunky. Feels like they don’t use their own apps at all.

I do love the desktop app, as I can move up a chain of evidence and grab every paper on my way. From the iOS app, I find the reference in the source paper (so far so good) then I select the automatic reference overview (cool feature) then I click on it and follow it to website for the journal and can review the PDF. BUT at that point I push the PDF to Firefox in order to share back to Papers for ingestion of new article… what??? Please fix that! I should be able to collect papers from selecting citations

Currently the whole working logic is still to use Apple Pencil as a mouse . It’s weird to have such kind of design at 2024

The icon options need to be updated so it’s not the only white thing on a dark mode screen. And hey - nice job fixing the App name after five years of nothing. It used to be ReadCube Pa… on the iPhone because the devs didn’t really care. Now it finally reads Papers. No more ellipsis.
