terrible terribleI love Papers and have been using it for 8 years now but this release is poorly executed. It crashed again and again, it failed to sync countless times and the one time that it did sync it erased all of the articles after being suspended and rerun. For such an expensive combo (79.99+9.99) I expect codes that are mostly bug-free and this is not the case here.

Problems with the new version Problems with the new versionI'm a user of papers since it's first version. I'm happy with the version 3, but this new upgrade erased all my papers from it's library. I hope mekentosj can fix it.

Sync issues fixed Sync issues fixedI was really excited to move to the Papers 3 ecosystem when I heard that Dropbox sync between Mac and iOS was fully supported. However, for many of my papers, despite the fact that I already have the pdf in my library on Dropbox, Papers 3 for iOS will try to re-download the paper from the original paywall sites which I no longer have access to. This completely defeats the purpose of Dropbox sync. So, I'm declaring this feature broken and a complete deal breaker until it is fixed. Update, Sep 18, 2014: Decreasing my rating from 2 stars to 1 star because I keep discovering new bugs. Not crashes, just failures of certain functionality. For example, adding papers to my “reading list” just doesn’t work for papers that I import directly to Papers 3 for iOS. They just never show up there. And what controls when the edit menu at the bottom shows up? It seems random to me. Does anyone even work for this company? With so many bugs, you'd think there would be frequent updates if they cared at all about their customers. Update, Nov 20, 2014: A lot has been fixed in the most recent update. Syncing works a lot better. Downloading papers from Dropbox is more consistent, and things feel quite a bit better. The interface is still a bit awkward, but I'm hopeful that the next update will improve things even more. Increasing rating from 1 star to 3. Update, May 28, 2015: The recent update has made Dropbox syncing about 20x slower and less reliable. Not sure what they did but man is the quality control over there bad. You'd think another company would swoop in a take this market, but for now looks like I'm stuck with crappy software. Decreasing to 2 stars. Update July 25, 2015: The most recent update has seemingly fixed the resyncing issues described above. Increasing rating back to 3 stars.

latest version works great latest version works greatYou can't do as much as you do on the Mac app but it is very useful to have it to read papers in your library. Not great for importing or editing information of papers in the library. After the recent updates ( iOS and Mac app) the sync works great.

I've Been Using This App for A While, And This Is My Review I've Been Using This App for A While, And This Is My ReviewI primary use this app with the latest Mac OS X version Papers 3. Compared with the desktop version, this app is not that good for doing annotation retrieval. 1) Let's say, I've annotated different colors of highlights, and underlines, strikethroughs, comments,etc. . All I want is that this app would allow me to search within these annotations. But currently, this is not possible for iOS version. Unlikely the desktop version, you can only search the whole document here. 2) A second issue for both desktop version and this iOS version is that, I wish I can search those annotations with some specified categories. Let's say I wish I can simply search the term "heeez" within yellow or blue color highlights, strikethroughs and comments. (But not in any other color highlights or underlines). Currently, there is no way to do so. I cannot turn on/off the search domains. That's why I strongly think, PDF viewer of Papers app in both version should have better search within domains function. 3) Meanwhile, the retrieval accuracy remains to be improved in current iOS version. Let's say I'm looking for "\," in some book. In iOS version, this query returns bunch of results which contains either "\," or "\". On the other hand, search the same query in Mac version returns the correct results, which is the "\," results ONLY. 4) The forth issue is that, even if I've changed nothing, after clicking the sync button, the app shows "Applying XXX change sets". This is so inefficient. Strangely, this problem doesn't exist until I annotated couple hundreds annotations within one book (one large pdf file). It seems Papers thought it stopped syncing after some time point before, so the app kept re-syncing everything since that point (while actually it did successfully sync all the time). 5) Meanwhile, when I tried to quickly sync back-and-forth in a short time, within the latest added update, several earlier annotations missed on one of the devices (yet those later annotations did show up.) Mostly, this happened after highlighting a group of sentences.
