Mendeley

The Mendeley is now available as a free download on Google Play for Android owners. The application is supporting English language. It weighs in at only 10MB to download. It is highly advisable to have the latest app version installed so that you don`t miss out on the fresh new features and improvements. The current app version has been released on 2015-06-18. The Apple Store includes a very useful feature that will check if your device and iOS version are both compatible with the app. Most iPhone and iPad are compatible. Here is the app`s compatibility information: 4.1 and up
Bottom Line: For more information about Mendeley check developer Mendeley`s website : http://www.mendeley.com

I m not a huge fan of Elsevier but this app is just fantastic I love Mendeley and it s add ons for Word I can say this is so helpful and indispensable for science students and researchers and it s great to have the articles I need u0026 love not only on my PC but also on my cellphone D                     Sabrina Garza

The app is really clunky to use The UI is very poor compared to the Mendeley desktop app You cannot copy references to paste into e g a google doc It doesn t allow you to filter by tags etc The PDF reader doesn t support PDF editing This app is really not very useful for much in the end     James Sutherland

An indispensable App for good readers particularly researchers its amazing tool to use for researchers and students I can not work professionally without it i used this application to write my dissertation and without it I could not finish writing in a short time The advantages provided to us exceed all expectations It is possible to highlight the informations we need and categorize them easily with the possibility of adding notes within the article or on it Use the extension on browsers                     A Google user

everything is smooth except for the comments and annotations on the pdf files they are not placed in the same position and with the same format that have been created with on mendeley website or the desktop application                 Ahmed Aredah

Support is outrageously bad You run the risk to lose access to your entire database like it happened to me waiting months without any serious attempt to solve the issue Run away from Mendeley before is too late Zotero is a much safer alternative     sebastiano rossi

A good tool for a researcher however there are some irritating bugs that persist and ruin the experience Sometimes the app just forgets all my annotations for no reason One second they are in the paper the next my two hour work of carefully looking for what I needed is lost Moreover the web version updates the page every few minutes also for no apparent reason I need to wait until it finishes updating it instead of continuing reading very annoying         Sergei Volodin

I use Mendeley on Linux and Windows I think it s pretty good although it has some frustrating bugs that look as though they should be fairly simple to fix Despite the warnings of other reviewers I went ahead and installed Mendeley on my Android tablet In the settings I was offered the choice of downloading the documents I wished to read to the tablet s own memory 800Mb free or the SD card 24Gb free A no brainer except that the choice is offered as a Beta feature and it s not a choice because it won t allow the SD card to be selected As someone with a degree in Computer Science who s spent the last thirty years starting and building up two successful defence and aerospace software companies I really can t understand how such a simple feature cannot be offered working right off the bat That it should be stuck in Beta for goodness knows how long just boggles my mind     Brian Luff

Great app but I wish it was possible to edit and highlight PDFs like in the desktop version An autofill option for meta information would aso be useful                 Brittany M

There are more bugs than there are features I expected much more maybe something like the Mendeley iOS app But the syncing reading interactiveness etc all are extremely badly done Overall the idea behind it is good I just hope a decent company implements it so that we can actually enjoy a similar application             Nima Mahmoudi

unweildy cumbersome restrictive I m a huge fan of the PC destop version and the web versions of Mendeley but this app is not conducive to my productivity Please expand on its features and functionality with updates         Joe LaMendola

Sync isn t great You have to do things in a set order for it to work across devices it s easy to break links to pdfs too and a huge pain to fix if you want syncing to resume working Its not robust enough for me to have enough confidence to add my notes and annotations to papers because I don t trust they won t all get deleted or out of sync on devices have found the highlighting is completely broken on a pixel really annoying as works a 10th of the time often you cannot select any text         Tom Duckworth

Adequate only for viewing reading and annotating literature However annotated notes are hard to view as not appearing under notes tab such as in the desktop app No option to add show or sync citation keys which are useful when syncronising Mendeley with online LaTEX editors such as Overleaf Lastly the app is not optimised for tablets and therefore stretching buttons rather than benefitting from bigger screen estate Viewing articles is good but don t expect much more than that         Peter Aaby

Sync doesn t work even though it appears to Added hundreds of references before I realised Support can only suggest I uninstall and reinstall so I ve lost all my references saved on the android app     Martin Goodson

the widget woukd be more useful if it had the option of showing your recent read rather than merely suggested reading don t need to go through steps to get to what I was just reading             Monique Kwachou

My annotation on the android app are all over the place on my PC It forced me to read the paper and redo the highlights on PC again No point in having this app on my phone if I can t annotate the PDF files I ll keep the app and follow the updates but won t use it until it s not a waste of time anymore         hojjat abdollahi

Useless app database never automatically up to date as it should be not possible to add bibtex entry     Sergey Dyakov

missing important features really wish it would have a feature to scan a book s bar code and upload the citation instead of the manual input of a book title every time Even scholastic has a book scan feature This would seem like an essential thing for a phone app         Jennifer Santos Ramirez

I enjoy using the apps to support my writing activities AS long as my knowledge this is the best apps in it s category                     Ishaq Rahman

I like this a lot I really do However possible to look into making it better for Android u0026 Chromebook user The Android version is nowhere near the iOS app Especially in highlighting the text and user friendly                 William Soo

Mendeley is an efficient helper app It has located numerous scholarly studies and peer reviewed journal articles along with APA citations that increase credibility of my dissertation proposal it works on all my devices flawlessly Mendeley is almost as helpful as a collaborative team mate I think Mendeley has helped my decision making effectiveness too Try it and see what you think about Mendeley                     Charmaigne Scott

when I open a ducoment it takes for ever to upload file and it never uploads It just spins endlessly worst app ever     Tyler echelon

I love the app except that there is no option for opening the files with third party apps such as Adobe pdf reader and you should bring dark mode also for inbuilt pdf viewer                 akshay gupta

great app its also recommends papers on what you are currently reading there are multiple highlighter colours and you can change the tint for reading My course recommended another referncing app and i am happy i went with mendeley instead                     Katherine De Burgh

An easy way to get fast access to our papers to comment highlight and create notes The possibility to export in bib file is amazing Add the plug in to word is super easy to use                     Nuno Silva

Lots of room for improvement App logs you out every few weeks its been years without any major updates still doesn t support OpenReview etc Paperpile is a better fit for my needs         RJ Skerry-Ryan

Unfortunately it does not have bookmark feature to bookmard specific pages of a pdf file and literally it is impossible to read large pdfs without bookmarking the important sections or the last read locations                 Mehdi Jalalmaab

Unusable Buggy as hell Doesn t always redraw annotations so you have to mess around with the screen to get the highlights to appear Currently can t highlight PDFs at all unless I add a comment too Sometimes redrawing of PDFs messes up so you only see part of the PDF have to move around a few times to get it to draw properly Performance is painfully slow Simple tasks like adding a highlight or comment takes 5 seconds to respond Navigating PDFs is juddery and thoroughly unpleasant I m on Android 7 1 1 using an Intel Atom quad core so hardware is not the issue PDFs render just fine in any other app I ve no idea how this app has 4 5 stars it is simply unusable in its current state     Coran

The desktop app is great and the integration works well The real downside is an inability to store PDFs on an SD card in the Android version There is a setting to do so but it only provides device as an option and says beta If they get that feature out of beta and working the app will be a 4 5             Tom Hanna

This software and app is a must for anyone doing research or just keeping up with the literature It is an incredibly versatile and powerful learning tool Not only can you keep track of papers you ve read but you can keep notes and bibliographies throughout all your devices It also serves to recommend articles based on your preferences I only have positive things to say about this app and talk to anyone I can about it Thanks Mendeley                     Stephane Comeau

A very very good Apps to organise our Citation and reading Very good as reading apps too Can beb better reading apps if 1 Can scroll by sliding from the right edge the page scrolling cursor 2 For document that can t be highlighted there is a pen feature marker to scribble down which part is important As citation enggine 1 Please add manually cite and inserting bibliography from a selected folder which has been filled by all citation that being used in a document so apps like Page                 Alan Chandrasaputra

This app doesnt sync properly It never downloads my pdfs     Erik Cook

Its a very useful app Downloading the pdf file doesn t work with this app The download button just doesn t work         Senthilkumar S Kathiresan

It s helpful but in some condition can t be sync             Nurul Khotimah

why some pdf files can not appear in the phone app Please fix it             H. M.

the app is well made but it lack an important and simple feature when opening a pdf with an external reader that program is not able to save in the exact same location of the internal memory So if i open a document contained in the library using another pdf reader to annotate the paper I can t easily overwrite the file and synchronize the annotated file with the other devices The problem comes from the open with procedure long click that act more like a sharing command             Riccardo Del Chiaro

functional but exceptionally buggy and frustrating to use reliability is dependent on the user s attention to detail         Joel Heng

fast sync great to keep literature at hand it would be an improvement if annotations can he done from the mobile app as well                 Aleph M. Niemeier
