ReadCube Papers

"ReadCube papers is very helpful for academic writing!!!"

What do you like best about ReadCube? While reading, you can highlight inside the pdf files and quickly check all the highlighted sentences later in the library without reopening the pdf file, which helps save a lot of time. What do you dislike about ReadCube? Not all journals support checking the reference list while looking at the main text. And sometimes, it's annoying that the notification bumps out so often of updating reminders. What problems is ReadCube solving and how is that ...

"A rich note-taking experience for PDFs that's not quite a full-orbed research system"

What do you like best about ReadCube? I subscribed to Papers to solve a problem with other methods of reading PDFs: I wanted all my notes as well as the full text of the articles to be accessible by search within a single interface.

What do you like best about ReadCube? The AI recommendations based on articles you add to the tool are excellent! Very kind people in support. What do you dislike about ReadCube?

When I was testing it service was also very overloaded and slow to ...

"Cumbersome, slow, very limited software"

What do you like best about ReadCube? 1- Automatic download of supplementary information (well, part of it). 2- Tech Support is friendly and helpful, although they are online less than 4hs a day. What do you dislike about ReadCube? 1- It does not recognize Acrobat PDF editions. If you highlight, make notes, write words or signs (simple edition tools that ReadCube does not have) on a PDF you need to import it again otherwise any edition will be lost. 2- It takes forever to import and synch, ...
