![]() It's hard to imagine how new software versions are meant to improve on the previous, but this is the opposite with Papers 4. With the most recent Big Sur update, Papers 3 has become unstable and was forced to upgrade. Like many others I have been a long time user of Papers 3 and have tried to keep using until Readcube stopped supporting it. I need to join this growing chorus in resounding my utter dissatisfaction with what has happened to Papers. It's been such a long time now, that the banana is becoming foul and putrid. Sold unripe to the customer, left there to ripen over time. What does that tell you? They can't even get the shut down right. However, if the matching desaster isn't bettered, I'll be out again.Ī final tidbit, whenever I quit RCP (normally), MacOS reports it 'crashed'. It syncs well with iOS, that's really the only positive aspect. I'm currently giving ReadCube Papers a second try and have even bought a plan. This is just one aspect, but a crucial one. Compare that with Zotero that gives me a 90%+ return on ISBNs. Even entering a DOI manually or an ISBN returns no results. RCP doesn't give you look-up options, i.e. That has never worked for me, not ever, not a single time I've got thousands of papers. They recommend putting author and short title. If you have mostly recent science and medical papers, that might not bother you that much, but for people who are in humanities and also add books, it's a desaster. Unless there is a readily detectable DOI, RCP finds nothing. ReadCube Papers fails miserably at this task. Now, often, the data needs fine-tuning but a basic look up is highly desirable. Finding and retrieving meta data is important since manual entry is a time-consuming task. The latter worked pretty well in Papers 3, although some implementations, such as with Zotero are still superior, in my opinion. ReadCube Papers has been around for a while now.
