PaperShip - Mendeley & Zotero Reviews

Not working

Charlie z. mu

Not working on iPadOS please fix.

It took me a while to understand how to use the annotation tool. I purchased it and was not able to use on my iPad although it was perfectly working on my iPhone. The only way to use the annotation tool your iPad is to long press on your document and then release. This will show the annotation tools such as the drawing pencil, the highlight marker and so on. I still have trouble with existing the edit more without switching between to documents.

Was a good one...

Was a good app to connect to Zotero, is now no longer syncing. The world has lost a convenient and free service. RIP PaperShip. :(

Love it but no

Ryke Allen

Love the app especially since it helps me organize my thesis and dissertation readings.....but why can’t I do something as simple as deleting a folder AND WHY DO MY MARKUPS RANDOMLY DISAPPEAR SOMETIMES?!

What a coincidence it is.

I downloaded this app and then at the same day, I received a update notification, and the last version is three years ago! It is interesting.

Excellent .. but much under the hood and no manual

Health Professional

I’m delighted to see a recent update to this app, as it indicates it has not been abandoned. As a research oriented medical director I spent a good deal of my time reading scientific PDFs and annotating these for future reference or citation. Although this is not the most intuitive program to set up, it does synch beautifully with Zotero and is an excellent annotation app. Moreover, one can easily export annotations by using the share icon (box with upfacing arrow) and using email command. This appears to be an undocumented feature - and I have no idea why it works this way-but it does so beautifully. Would greatly benefit from some instructional videos as many features hidden, and again not intuitive. Due to Zotero synch has largely replaced most of PDF readers, e.g. Goodreader. Once you have figured out the kinks and qwerks your efforts will be well rewarded. By all means also implement Zotfile on Zotero.

The pdf viewer do not have content outline displayed

Michaelzs520

This app is overall good, but lack of some key features. Lots of PDF files have predefined content outline, especially long articles and books, the viewer in this app cannot view the outline, even though I bought the annotate feature using $9.99 which is not a cheap price for a feature in an app. The official Mendeley app has very coarse annotate tools compare to this one, but its PDF viewer has outline build in which is very helpful. Hope this feature can be added, it will be more worthy of the dollar. Also, it will be perfect to have a zoom-in writing window in the annotation tool like the one in GoodNote and notability app, it’s very useful for heavy users.

Great, but please fix the annotations

I’m not an academic researcher, but I do research and write on some esoteric subjects, so I was looking for a god way to collect and work with references. I found Zotelo and PaperShip and they’re nearly perfect. I use the Zotelo browser plugin and ISBN search to record references, and PaperShip allows me to reference them anywhere and make notes. So far it works wonderfully. The only problem is that I’d like to purchase the PDF annotation feature so I don’t have to use an external app, but looking at reviews here and elsewhere it appears to be broken. The rest of the app is great, and I’d like to support the developer, but not if it didn’t work. Fingers crossed this will be figured out soon!

Absolute work horse for zotero on an iPad

c.p.t.

I’m a fan of Zotero for PDF storage/sorting/syncing and bibliographic data collecting. PaperShip brings the key element of that to iPads. While long not updated, it continued to “just work” without much fuss. Now, it has been updated to work more consistently with newer devices and their software. For my needs—annotating PDFs that are synced back to the main Zotero database—it is fantastic. I haven’t explored all the new features, but am thrilled it is still being updated. It is a testamony to its reliable programming that it worked for the multi-year gap in updates that ended a few years ago. I look forward to continuing to rely on this workhorse.
