It is hoped that automatic Google translation and highlighting functions can be integrated.

Love the feature to directly read abstract or a piece of information from the citation itself. Although jumping to sections, figures and tables are not new, but the app made it more convenient with back to read option. Also citing the paper from the pdf itself is helpful. Wish to see more features such as summarizer and read more relevant studies etc.

One of the best tools created by Google for Ph.D. students! Love the index on the left and the automatic citation search. Would love to see highlight functionality though.

Very useful initiative by google. Need some extra features like highlight tool and something like a library so that it can work as a great reference manager as well.
