    Why can't I give it 0 stars? Mendeley Reference Manager is also rubbish. Constantly disconnects. The word plug-in also frequently disappears and needs re-installing.

    Doesn't let me sign in to use the extension. Tried all their troubleshooting suggestions, and none worked.

    It asks for a passcode whenever it does work, which it usually doesn't. Constantly having to refresh and try again by re-opening your tabs in a new window is laughable. Even after doing this, it just flat-out refuses to work at least half the time. I'll be switching to Zoterro.

    Used to work fine now it just crashes and doesn't let me sign in. Had to resort to entering my references manually. No good

    Was barely usable after recent updates. Now I can no longer sign in. Mendeley seems intent on killing its user base. Only the frustration of switching reference managers has kept me returning, but now I simply can't use it at all.

    I agree with all the other reviews recently - this used to work without problem and would be so easy to capture the references I needed. Now, I am constantly having to uninstall and reinstall because it crashes, doesn't let me sign in, or won't load at all. Please fix this - it is an invaluable tool, we NEED it to work reliably.

    It does not let you sign in no matter what. It keeps redirecting you on the sign in or register option.

    this used to be great, but over the past month it won't move beyond the Elsevier 'Almost There' pop up window... I hope it will be fixed soon.

    What happened.... This app was wonderful a year ago but now its so buggy its unusable. I like the direction its going where I don't need to use the desktop client to sync all the time but 90% of the time it bugs out and I can't use it at all :(
