Great app, but wish formatting was possible in notes

I just realized that in the notes area every time I add notes, I lose formatting. My notes all merge into one big blob. Makes it hard to use for this function. But otherwise, like the app.
Good, but room for improvement

Update 3/23/2016: The newest update has completely broken the "notes" section! Everything is one long paragraph. Please fix...this makes the iPad app significantly less useful :( I love the desktop version of Mendeley and use it to manage all my references and citations when preparing manuscripts. The iPad app for Mendeley leaves a bit to be desired though. I wish it was easier to annotate PDFs and I find that annotations I make on my iPad sometimes get distorted on the desktop version. I also wish the iPad app had a way to look up references in the app and easily add new references from pubmed or google scholar. But overall it is a good app that works well and doesn't crash - definitely recommended.
Meh.

Desktop version is great but this app is useless. It's not syncing properly. All of my PDFs are on my desktop but they're not showing up in the app.
Where did the details go?

Why can't I see anything on the right side of the screen? What is the purpose of this app if I can see the info??
Buggy, Buggy, Buggy

How is it that Mendeley gets buggier with every update--maintenance or otherwise? The idea for this application is perfect, and the execution, far from it. The latest and greatest errors one can expect from this update: annotations and highlights duplicating and duplicating again, so that one is inundated with many multiples of one's original marks on a document. And, of course, the "notes" section continues to ignore line breaks. Why anyone would pay for this service is beyond me.
Almost perfectly indispensable

Mendeley has become a core compliment of my research practice. Improvements in annotating, categorising and keeping track of literature have helped me streamline and manage my research projects much more effectively than before. Integration issues with RTF-based wordprocessing programs, particularly Apple's Pages, keep me from fully utilising Mendeley's powerful writing features (citation management, bibliography generation).
