Android private beta (old)

Yes, that’s odd. Which Android version do you have on this device?

Hi Stefan, could I get signed up for the android beta?

Excited to see this app! If the annotation tools are top notch I can see alot of people being willing to pay for Paperpile. Definitely hope y’all chose me for the beta.

I’ve got 5.1.1 on the Nexus 4 - same as on the 10.

Bump me up please…

I’d love to be a beta tester. I’ve been using PP on my Chromebook so I have a good experience on it. But I’d like to see how it does as an app. I think you will attract more users with the apps.

Question about the roadmap: Will the iOS beta be released for iPhone and iPad at the same time, or will one be released first? I was just thinking that I would use each device quite differently. I mostly use my iPad for reading and annotating PDFs, while on my iPhone I frequently want to quickly lookup and share citations with other people that come up in conversation (such as when advising students…)

The iOS app will be the same for phones and tablets. It will adapt to the device size of course but will have the same functionality.

Can you please add me to the beta tester group for android? I already filled out the survey.

We’ll include you in the next batch

Hi, I have already filled the survey to be a beta tester but I guess I have not yet been included. I would love to try it, as I mostly work on the go these days on my tablet and mobile and not being able to add the papers I read till I get to my PC does feel a bit uncomfortable. Thanks a million!

Ditto here - would love to be in the next batch of testers (I’ve filled in the form), particularly since I’ll be on the tablet (Nexus 9 / Android 7.1.1) rather than PC over Christmas and it would be great to catch up on some reading (and annotation :wink: )!

Thanks, Mark

The sync does not appear to function. I added a paper from the desktop app, it is in my library, but it does not show up on the top of the list in the mobile app (what is the sort order?)

When I search for the author of the newly added paper in the mobile app, I get no hits.

Nexus 5X - Android 7.0

Enjoying the app. It works perfectly on my Fairphone 2.

Sometimes when I’m working on a weak connection, sync doesn’t seem to do anything. Usually it eventually does, but only after me wondering for quite a while whether or not it’s doing anything and pressing sync lots of times! Works fine on WiFi at home.

I have a cheeky request… I know this would come under #5 in the roadmap, but… Is there any chance we could (in the next version) be able to see all of the information associated with the item? In particular I am thinking of the BibTeX key. I frequently work on TeX files on my tablet and would like to know citation keys.

Thanks!

I have already signed up for the beta team three months ago, but I have not received any feedback yet. Could you add me in the beta team? Thank you so much.

We will invite a new batch with the next release. It will take a bit longer because we will consolidate both Anroid and iOS versions and add PDF annotations.

We will do some testing on throttled connections and see if we can improve the experience there.

I hope to become a beta tester too :slight_smile: I have signed up for the test long ago but no invite yet.

@stefan,
This comment is in hopes of being invited to beta. I have been using Mendeley (desktop and mobile) and am now switching to Paperpile. I would really like to be able to use the Android mobile version so that I can read papers on my Android tablet.

I know this is in Beta but having the opportunity to at least read my .pdfs from the app would be great. I would also like to provide feedback on the newer features as they are added.

So please invite me :smile: I would like to do quite a bit of reading on my tablet (and annotations when they are available).

Please add me to Android beta program!
