User Reviews

Users praise Zotero for cross-device syncing and its all-in-one research capabilities, but report stability and access issues, login/auth problems, storage limitations, and missing feature support. The app is powerful yet reliability and feature gaps hinder consistent use.

Pros

Cross-device syncing across iPad, desktop, and other devices.
All-in-one research tool for citations, notes, PDFs, and web clipping.
Privacy-conscious design and generally responsive development

Cons

Unreliable syncing and crashes when adding resources or notes across devices.
Login/authentication problems, including email verification failures and SSL/Cloudflare blocks.
Storage limits and cloud-centric model with unclear local storage controls.
Missing features: annotation with Apple Pencil, EPUB/MOBI support, PDF reader choice.
