## Review summary

Reviewers praise Prime for its ease of use, fast access to PubMed content, powerful search with citation linking (grapherence) and push notifications, plus broad journal coverage and library-backed full-text access. Common drawbacks are instability (crashes/bugs), inability to save PDFs or share articles (content locked in the app), and slow loading/navigation. Overall, it’s valued for efficient research but reliability and cross-device sharing need improvement.

### Cons
