## Review summary

Users praise the app's clean interface and automation for building citations and its data-capture via ISBN/DOI, but multiple reviews flag serious export/copy problems, poor interoperability with external tools, subscription/billing headaches, and limited support, which undermine overall usefulness.

### Pros

- Elegant, user-friendly interface that makes building bibliographies easy.
- Automates many steps of citation creation, saving time.
- On-the-go utility for citation work with convenient access across devices.
- Pulls in bibliographic data effectively via ISBN/DOI search.

### Cons

- Copying and exporting citations is unreliable or broken (copy-to-clipboard, Word/PDF/RIS/email formats).
- Interoperability and integration with other tools are limited (no Scrivener compatibility; difficult data export/share across apps or devices).
- Subscription and billing frustrations (double charges after downgrades, refunds concerns).
- Limited or hard-to-reach customer support (difficult to contact, support links misleading).
