overall poor experience
by Len De Nys, 2025-03-03
Not fast enough and removes my login info after couple of days. I have to login again but takes time. super slow in this process.
by Izumi shinichi, 2025-02-03
This tool only activates itself for about 70% of my references. And approximately 90% of those have errors that ruin the in-paper bibliography and require hours of editing to fix. Just use Zotero instead. Their tool works 100x better. It's also free. Ohh, and yes, they have a built in bibliography builder add-ins for both Word and Google Docs. I was forced into EndNote for a work-related task and it's been nothing but pain and lost work hours. I'm just going to continue using Zotero and then import its library over for my collaborators.
