Major Flaw - PDFs are not readable in the APP – Mendeley (PDF Reader) Review

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.
