Paperpile for iOS and Android (private beta - 9/2019 update!) š±
There doesnāt seem to be a way to open supplementary attachments from the iPad app. This is rather unfortunate, since in many journals the supplementary information contains the meat of the paper.
How does one remove a downloaded file from the app? I know how to clear them all at once, but how to remove one at a time?
App loads on Android 10 just fine, with sharing to app from web page working. But Iām unable to share a PDF Iāve downloaded to the app. That fails.
Re: the Android Private Beta, I am able to save links and PDFs to Paperpile, but whenever I try to open the PP app itself, it crashes.
LG G6, Android 8. What other info would be helpful?
I canāt seem to import this url at all when open in Android Google Chrome. I get a āsomething went wrongā error.
However this URL works:
https://www.cell.com/cell-reports/fulltext/S2211-1247(19)31226-4
I would note though that the PDF download status message seems to show only ā-1%ā
I requested an invite to iOS beta a while ago. Please can I get it?
Bug report (or maybe missing feature?): there doesnāt seem to be a way to get at multiple PDFs uploaded for the same reference on iPadOS. Multiple PDFs show up online, but when I try to download to my iPad only the primary one shows up.
Iām testing the iOS app.
So far so good! A couple of crashes, but Iām not sure it was a problem with the app problem, more a network/wifi problem.
However, 
I do have a couple of requests.
- Would be nice to have access to the build in dictionary in the pdf view. Very useful.
- More colors to underscore/highlight. I do have a color code and would love to have orange and black.
- To add a white page in an article. I use Documents from Readdle on iOS. With this app, I have the ability to add a page to the PDF. Very useful to take longer handwriting notes.
this being said, keep up the good work !
Another URL which canāt be imported using the Android beta:
Bug report
(sorry if that has been already reported, but the forum search function doesnāt work to take me to places where a keyword is used in the thread, and this thread is way too-long to scroll through).
Iām using Android 8.0, and the latest verison of the Paperpile beta (I believe, no version is reported in the āAboutā section of the app).
Most things are running smoothly, however one annoying cosmetic bug is that after downloading a PDF to my device using the āshare to Paperpileā button in my brower (Chrome 78.0.3904.96), the notification that the PDF is download is complete (in the Android pull-down tray) is not able to be removed unless I reboot my phone. I.e. I cannot swipe the notification away.
Another slight bug-bear is that itās slightly annoying that you have to wait quite a few seconds for the reference to sync - so I have to stare at the spinning wheel for quite a while - I would be happy if this happened in the background (or as a tray notification), so I can continue reading/working in the browers.
Using iOS beta on iPadOS. When annotating with Apple Pencil sometimes have an issue where a random really big streak will form above what Iām writing. I havenāt been able to reproduce the behavior consistently. Sometimes it happens a lot other times not as much.
Hi!
I am sorry to write here, but I filled the survey 2x and got no invitation yet. Would be really happy to try out the Android version as a happy user of paperpile,
best
Me too, and donāt be sorry. I regret having paid for paperpile. Itās a real bummer not being able to access my saved papers in my tablet, even if I try to open in an internet browser. Despite being logical that a paid service would try to implement this basic feature asap, they donāt seem to be concerned about fixing this. We work with these pdfs on a daily basis and having an app would be VERY useful, even if itās in beta.
The forum is for feedback. Read the initial post of this thread on how to get access properly.
Hello! I wonder where can I sign up for any future beta testing? Thanks!
Night mode (inverted pdf color) is really appreciated! However, there seem to be a number of other methods for doing this, including some which mostly preserve colors other than black/white (the windows application NegativeScreen manages to do this with its Smart Inversion mode: https://zerowidthjoiner.net/NegativeScreen).
It neednāt be perfect, but just to be able to have red lines in plots look something close to red, blue close to blue etc would be a small but important improvement, since the text in figure captions often refers to the colors used.
Hi @stefan et al.,
The iOS beta on TestFlight is set to expire in 2 days. Can you please release a new build so we arenāt locked out?
Thanks,
Max
Hi everyone,
We have just released a new version. It includes many fixes and quite a few new features (see full changelog below).
The most visible change is that we have a bottom tab with a āRecentā tab now. It allows you to quickly access the papers you have opened recently. The two bottom tabs look a bit lonely at the moment but it will make more sense with the next updatesā¦ So stay tuned. As always, all feedback is welcome.
- Quick acess to recently opened papers in āRecentā screen
- EZProxy support for off-campus file downloads
- Star, unstar, trash, untrash and delete references
- Faster opening of PDFs with many annotations (iOS)
- Fix some stuck notification during PDF download (Android)
- Fixed incorrectly displayed file size for some files
- Attempt to fix crash when accessing āOn your deviceā (feedback welcome!)
- Allow adding labels and folders to references in search results
- Many more tweaks and bug fixes
Attempt to fix crash when accessing āOn your deviceā (feedback welcome!
Crashes every time!
Note regarding layout: My screen only shows about 4 references at a time. Seems it should be possible to show at least 7-8 (Which is how many emails Gmail can display at once with my current settings). That is with all the information displayed in a more efficient way. I would also suggest eventually having a ācompact viewā that could show even moreā¦
