Wonderful news and a bit of a relief.

Thx. I was already very concerned about the development at PaperShip. Finally, some assurance that something is happening. I already looked at Mendeley, but they are throwing away their IOS version.

great news!!!

Any ETA on when beta testing will be ready? I’m desperate to ditch Mendeley since they’re discontinuing their iOS app in a few weeks, but every time I’ve tried to use Zotero for reading on both my laptop and iPad it’s been a huge PITA from an ease of use standpoint.

Have you ever handed out the membership? I was submitted my application about a week ago but no reply until now.

dstillman

Not yet.

Can't wait. Please release it as soon as possible. Papership barely work but not function well. Hope users could writing notes on pdf attachment directly and could sync changed pdf to other platform. And notes could be displayed directly. Unlike papership, users have to click each items to see notes.

Good News!Quickly!Quickly!

Yes please!

bwiernik

Still pending

gschrock

Yay! And eventually for Android also?

Hi. Is any android app available or in development? It concerns around 85% of mobile users.

danieltomasz

There exist not official apps for android, they worked quite well

jorge.fernandez

You better consider making it usable with the Apple Pencil. It would be amazing not only being able to highlight with it but also making draws over the pdf.

Has anyone received the beta version? I applied but I haven't received the email yet.

dstillman

No, it's not yet out.

lukelbro

Looking forward to this as I just switched from Mendeley due to their removal of the iOS app.

ernest.prats

Like @lukelbro, I return to Zotero for Mendeley's abandonment of his version for IOS. I started with Zotero when it was a plugin for Firefox. A long time ago!

gschrock

@danieltomasz "worked quite well" is an overstatement, especially if you've experienced the functionality that the Mendeley mobile apps had and it looks like this iOS app will have. Namely: in-app annotation and syncing across devices. Seeing the PDF viewer in beta now makes me super excited to be back on Zotero!

dstillman

We've started inviting testers to the beta. We're adding a small number of people at a time, so if you haven't yet received an email, stay tuned over the coming days.

Please start new threads with any bug reports or feature requests.

I installed the app, and it looks really nice, but I haven't found any way to point the app to my own webdav service. Am I missing something?

Anyhow, looks very nice! Unfortunately, I don't have a use for it at this point because I can't seem to set up my webdav service.

dstillman

@internationaled: This initial version can't sync files via WebDAV, but we're planning to add support for that in the future.
