User reviews

Worked well until just recently... for some reasons, fields are no appearing properly and I'm unable to fill in manually. Unsure why... I emailed BibGuru a week ago but haven't gotten a response. It was 5 stars, but must now give it one star. I'm trying out an alternative MyBib, which so far seems to be working properly.

Love this extension, it revolutionises writing papers. One thing to note is that it doesn't automatically create references if you're viewing pdfs. So make sure to go back to the original webpage that linked you to the pdf and create your references there :) One thing I'd like to note is that I would love to be able to pay for a version without ads. When you're in the zone of researching and writing papers, ad pop ups can be annoying and distracting :(
