If you have not set up citekey management yet on the desktop app please review our Citekey Management article on how to do so.īeyond Pages, a variety of other writing tools are supported: With the newest version of the ReadCube Papers desktop app, we’ve added SmartCite for Citekeys which makes it possible to format your references across a wide range of writing platforms (including being an alternative to our dedicated Add-ons for Word and Google Docs.) There aren’t options for switching from horizontal paging to vertical scrolling.Solution home ReadCube Papers Citing with Papers SmartCite for Citekeys (Pages) Export only includes highlights and annotations on the first two pages for some reason.
Highlighting and annotations are flaky, and there’s no undo button (you have to delete an entire highlight/annotation at once as an object, so small mistakes mean you have to redraw entirely.) Highlighting and annotation also just sometimes just stop working, and I’ll need to exit the pdf to get it back. The reader view UI needs work: The carrier, clock, and battery icons aren’t hidden but merely white in full-screen. The most important features for me are there though, and import/search especially are working well enough for now.

Needs work, but I’m subscribing when my trial expiresĪs of 2.70, it’s pretty ok, with lots of room for improvement. I can see potential here, but some of the more basic things are still missing- get this right. If you want to move to a subscription model, focus on keeping the immense value that was already there in papers before adding links to sources in documents. Hopeful that years worth of markup transferred correctly from a Papers 3 library? Sorry- all your written annotations appear only as red squiggles all over your imported Readcube file. Want to use preview at all? Sorry, you need to open it in a separate viewing window entirely. Want to see a preview of an article in the preview window so you can correct the inevitably incorrect imported citation? Sorry, open the article in a new window and switch back and forth as you type. Want to see recently imported papers easily? Look up a hyper-customized search entry online in convoluted support. I hope I can revise this to 5 stars soon, but for now, too much of Readcube is a step back in basic functionality from Papers 3.
