Hi @dstillman Thanks for the hint that there were more people allowed from time to time. Can you tell if there is a chance to recognize when there are more slots? Do I have to put the app on my whishlist (Play Stere / Android User) or how is it distributed?
The developpers have repeatedly said that the only way new slots are announced is here, in this thread. Check back here, and make sure you receive notifications.
Just realized others are also not able to access. Hoping that new spots will open soon? Do we have to have a certain OS to use this app? My BOOX is from 2022.
I've tried the Zotero Beta on Android and I must admit the experience is rather unsatisfying compared with the desktop version. The biggest problem, in my opinion, is the lack of feature to generate citation and bibliography from references stored in the app. Which means that one can use Zotero Beta for adding references into database, but cannot generate citation or bibliography format, and has either to use the desktop version, open Zotero by browser or using ZBib. For me personally, as frequent user of Android tablet for typing (I believe you guys understand how unreliable Windows device is in terms of battery span, particularly for ones in constant journey) this is rather inconvenient. So I hope in the subsequent update you can make the citation/bibliography generating feature available in the app. Thank you.
@Alif_ID: Yes, it will be possible to generate citations and bibliographies in a future version, as I said in the initial post. But reading and annotating are the primary things people want to do on mobile, so that's what we focused on for the initial version (as we did on iOS before, where there are now citation features).
@poettli To answer your question: Yes, I've read it. And that's exactly why I raised it. As stated by @dstillman, the citation feature is already available in every other version of Zotero (Windows, Linux, Mac, even - as stated by @dstillman - iOS), but not Android (yet). And this is the issue in my case. As a frequent user of Android tablet for doing my writing esp. when in journey (I believe you guys know how pathetic the endurance of Windows laptop battery span in comparison with a mobile tablet), the lack of this feature in Zotero app means that in order to generate citation from my Zotero database, I have to either open my Zotero account in Browser or using ZBib - which is so often time-consuming and rather unnecessarily complicated process, and not to mention, making having the app actually rather redundant. And I believe this is a problem not unique to me. That's why I raise the matter in the hope that the citation generator feature can be made available in the next update of the app - which I hope will be soon.
Upgrade Storage
Hoping it gets released very soon.
It will be more visible for some e-ink devices.
Also, do you have any plans to optimize the Android version for those e-ink devices (e.g., Supernote, Boox, etc.)?
