I'm getting fed up with Papers on my iPad - without my two favorite features of the desktop version, I could have used any cheap PDF viewer + Dropbox to do what I do with it now. Waste of $15!
I'm thinking of trying Sente, but if it doesn't have these features, then it wouldn't be any better. What I'm looking for:
- "Matching" (that's what Papers calls it); basically, if you download a PDF without bibliographic info, it uses the DOI to find that info automatically. If it can't find it, you can do a quick search by the title or authors, and once the right paper comes up you can import the bib info with one click.
- Finding recent articles by author or journal. In the desktop Papers, this is super-easy - in the list of all authors or journals you currently have papers from, one click brings up a list of their recent articles.
These two features are really all I'm looking for aside from being able to read the PDF (even annotation is not a high priority) and sort/search by bibliographic info. I wish I'd realized that Papers on iPad doesn't have them before I wasted $15.
