Could be better for citations
ssssssaaaaaasssss
I enjoy this app greatly, and it has really changed the way I manage articles and create citation. The citation creator does need to be updated for the newest APA version. The way the DOI and ISSN are formatted into the citation is incorrect, as well as the book style citation not including a state after the city. With these small tweaks, it would be perfect.
Very buggy

Really useful service, but the app is unusable because it freezes after the first second of use and requires rebooting, upon which it does the same thing. It’d be really nice to use Mendeley on the go, so I hope the issues get fixed soon.
Stuck in syncing

When it opens, it gets stuck at syncing all the time. Logging out and logging back in doesn’t solve the problem
Nice app, but missing critical functionality
TroyJenL
It is great for its sole purpose of importing actual files on an iOS device. Falls completely short of the overall need in a mobile reference management system. You cannot import webpages (which seems like the primary task you are likely to do on an iOS device). You also cannot generate a citation to copy and paste into an iOS document (also seems like the majority of the reason to have this kind of tool). Please add these super simple features that are critical to using Mendeley on an iPad.
Extreme lag please update

The performance of the mobile app is terrible. I've been stuck on loading screens and in the middle of typing out folder names or just trying to read documents. I haven't been able to do anything on my phone for the past week without the app freezing for within a minute or two. I'm only giving this another star is because this app is more useful when its synced all my notes and bookmarks to my desktop or browser
Major Flaw - PDFs are not readable in the APP
Dasaed
Mendeley desktop is super useful, mendeley mobile app is virtually useless. I use mendeley to not only save my sources and citations, but also to view my PDFs and write notes on the PDFs for future reference, but all that functionality with the PDFs is not present in the app. The PDFs I download into my computer are not available in the app. I see the source, but I’m unable to read the content of it, making this ipad close to useless. The only solution I have found to be able to open my PDFs, is to do this first on a computer: Open the PDF in Chrome, select the print option, save it as a PDF somewhere else on you computer(this sort of gets rid off the original PDFs metadata related to authors, sources, etc.), and then import that other PDF into the Mendeley App. Since some important metadata will be missing, you will have to manually correct the title, add the authors, publication, date. But at least this way, when you sync your account, you will be able to find your PDFs on the ipad.
Crashes upon Sync
Wudkayaker
Syncing takes forever...then crashes the app. Doesn’t live up to the desktop app. If only the annotation tools worked as smoothly as PDF Expert by Readdle. This app could be amazing with some attention and commitment.
Unable to create citations
2010 Come Back
Seems pointless if I cannot create citations from any iOS device. Please fix this ASAP.
