The title of this review says it all! Thanks Benjamin to keep updating this wonderful well written app! The whole scientific and engineering communities using Bibdesk are forever in debt with you. I just wish there was a similar app that was even barely functional running on Android… :-)

Apple Pencil Support while reading PDF using the inbuilt PDF viewer needs to be added to make this app a full fledged app.

As a bibdesk user this app is really what I need, allowing me to access my library seamlessly. Handy. I wonder if it’s possible, when opening attached PDFs, to have the option of opening it in other viewers e.g. acrobat? Currently one can only import it to acrobat, but then it creates a new file. If there’s an option to open the file in acrobat directly I thought it really completes the workflow. Thanks!

Great way to access BibTex on iPad. The developer is active and adds features all the time (like access to OneDrive, and other cloud storage). Very recommended.

This app is a must for academics working with latex/bibtex. It's very easy to use, and there is nothing else like it on the App Store. One suggestion: it would be great to be able to export not just the bibtex code, but also a formatted citation (e.g. in RTF), similarly to what bibdesk can do on a Mac.

Wonderful app that solves the problem of being able to ciye entries in one's bib file to write papers on the go

With the addition of support for “groups” this has become a great way for me to manage my reference library. I use jabref on the desktop and box to sync my bibtex file and PDFs of papers and this manages things very well. The only other features I could want are support for a hierarchy of groups (which is how they are in my jabref library) and the ability to mark up the PDFs in another app, but I blame the later point on iOS’ horrible file system.

Glad to see the most recent update! Indispensable mobile access for academics on the go.

Updated on April 14. The developer has FIXED the Dropbox sync issues and this app now works as advertised. This a a GREAT app for researchers who use BibTex to organize their references. Many thanks for this very helpful research tool. I was a longtime user of PocketBib who was very sad to PB development stop. Consequently, I was thrilled to discover References for iOS bibtex files. Unfortunately I am also unable to link my Dropbox folders to access pdf files. The Dropbox link is greyed out and inactive. If that important functionality was fixed (and the addition of keyword searching was added) I would give this app a five star review.

Replacing PocketBib, which is no longer developed, this is a slick and effective app. Great for finding and reading my references. Impressed by how responsive the developer was in adding access to files in Dropbox! Hope the app succeeds and look forward to seeing future developments.
