It would be amazing to have a separate app synced with google drive that can be used locally with annotation in the future.

It would be like an amazing if there are annotation tools, or even work on iPad so that can work side-by-side. But the click reference functions work like a maze, love them for sure!!! good work

Excelente ferramenta. Ficaria ótimo se os desenvolvedores adicionassem uma ferramenta de marca-texto (highlighter).

Very useful. What would improve it even more is if the abstract preview showed the full abstract, instead of cutting it off after a few sentences. Often I am indeed only interested in reading the abstract of a cited paper, but not in reading half the abstract :P.

Good for managing references, but adding highlighting (multiple colors) would make this super super useful.

Great new tool! Very useful having the automatic contents and the in-line references. Would be even better if equation numbers were automatically hyperlinked (i.e. incorporate the features of hyperref from latex), and enable to ctrl+F with latex characters! (this would also be useful just for google search). Looking forward to future developments.

Needs annotation tools to be of any real use in my opinion - at present its only main feature is finding links to other references a bit more seamlessly than my current pdf reader.
