iOS client notably buggier
PharaohSparrow
UI issues with sidebar refusing to close ought to be fixed. Is there am automatic dedupe? Papers that are not duplicated on desktop clients are duplicated one or more times when synced to the iPad. Come on Elsevier you can afford a few good developers. This should not be so shoddy.
Need to add Apple Pencil feature!

Among all the scientific citing apps, I stayed with Mendeley. But it’s been frustrating that I can not annotate and take notes with my Apple Pencil. By the way, you can do that with Acrobat. I don’t want to change between apps, which is bad for me to keep record of my reading. Deer developers, please try harder to bring us the feature! I will really appreciate that.
This app leads to substantial improvement in my productivity

If you are in academia, this app is almost a must-have. The sync feature allows me to read papers on all devices. The citation export feature on the Mac fundamentally changed the way I maintain my bibliography database. Annotations of PDF file are very helpful in keeping notes. The literature search function is handy for adding citations. There are some glitches that should be fixed. Here are a few: 1. The side pane refuses to go away on the iPad when you try to swipe it away. If I change the orientation, this functionality resumes. 2. The screen flickers sometimes, most noticeably on the Mac. 3. The title of an article sometimes mismatches with the actual PDF file. Re-opening of the app seems to fix it.
Suuuper buggy

This would be my ideal paper management software if it actually worked on my iPad!!!
Terrible annotations of pdf

Annotation with Apple Pencil is non-existent, all you can do is highlight. No ability to draw or write on the PDF. Unacceptable for a PDF reader.
Almost has everything I need

Besides some minor glitches when syncing with the cloud, this has been a great way to track and annotate articles for ,y research. My only complaint/request is that the developers add the capability to annotate PDFs by handwriting using Apple Pencil... it’s a huge pain to have to pull up the keyboard to type a note while I’m in the flow of reading!
