Zotero Android improvement suggestions

edited July 22, 2026
I have started using Zotero Android more intensively, and there are a few things that I'm really missing (or haven't discovered how to do)
* an indicator if the database has actually sucessfully synched (or a synch button).
* the ability to show a date column
* in the pdf reader a go back button, e.g. when having clicked on a reference, which got me to the bibliography, being able to easily get back to where I was reading
* and the font used for the references list as well as in the preferences window is really very small, even on my 10.3inch tablet. A Preference to change the font size would be really great

Otherwise, and except the huge annotation problem, Zotero Android is really very, very usefull and useable on a Onyx Boox Note Air (have tested the 1 and the 5C)
  • I have just started using the Android App on an Boox Note 5C. Obviously, since I manage my whole library in Zotero on my MacBook, it makes sense to use the Android App so I can have all my tags and subfolders and easy syncing of all annotations.
    But the quality of the in-built reader has gotten me considering switching to a differenty library system entirely. I don't want to though, and I hope that changes are going to be made to the app to improve display options and navigation among other things.
    Well, I hope the improvements made to the reader in the desktop app in version 10 will bode well for the mobile app :)
