Frequent failures to load PDFs, leading to frustration and interrupted workflow.
The extension is not user-friendly and often requires repeated logins, reducing user convenience.

Functionality is limited and sometimes redundant compared to other tools like Zotero, with some features not working as expected.

Um aplicativo inútil. Seria útil se fosse possível utilizá-lo para adicionar itens às referências bibliográficas do EndNote, um software caríssimo e de péssimo funcionamento, tanto no add-on do Chrome como no do MS Word. Um desperdício de dinheiro e de tempo. Vale muito mais a pena utilizar soluções gratuítas e mais eficazes, como o Mendeley.

Soddisfatto del nuovo servizio EndNote, già collaudato all'estero e ora migliorato per la sicurezza e velocità

Sabino Bufo, 2025-03-31

When it works it's great but approx 2/3 papers will simply fail to load in the pdf viewer, claiming "Message: Something went wrong trying to render the PDF. This error has been logged and will be fixed soon.".... Still waiting for that fix EndNote
