• (2024-11-21) Nicole Ahmed: UPDATE NOVEMBER 2024: I've managed to sign in again. Signed into my account on mendeley.com first on chrome and on edge. Kept pressing the extension button and letting all the popups happen. Finally managed to sign in to the extension too. I love this extension and managed to get it working in a roundabout way. Once installed I wasn't able to sign in but I noticed that the sign in button would open a mendeley logo on my taskbar - which is exactly how Edge (which uses Chromium) adds webapps to computers. Using this hunch, I opened up edge. Logged on to mendeley on edge. Left edge open. Opened Chrome and tried to sign in again. It worked! I had to try it a few times but I'm definitely signed in and using the extension perfectly. I believe the issue here is that the chromium coding for the mendeley extension is somehow calling up Edge instead of a Google chrome window for signing in. hopefully you all can get it working!
• (2024-07-02) Harry Wu (Chorister): Dec 2020. The plug in takes forever to load. The usual save citation and pdf menu won't show up. Chrome and plugin are in latest version. Update in July 2024, they still haven't fix this issue. Additionally, on some publication sites, the plugin will only prompt your institution login (SSO) as default. Once logging in, it doesn't allow me to log in with my Mendeley account (different email address) any more, and subsequently doesn't allow me to add the article to my collection.
• (2024-05-19) Núria Fustier: Esta extensión en los últimos tiempos cada vez funciona peor. De cada 5 veces que la activas solo hace su función una. Deben mejorarla. Edito la reseña en mayo de 2024... funciona aún peor si cabe que hace 8 meses... No funciona nunca.
• (2024-05-09) Tofy: The first thing you read, beside the app name, when you open this page is "Fast, convenient import of...", well... that is just false. This thing is VERY slow, that when it functions... However, here is a small tip: if it didn't work, try reloading the page. It works with me... sometimes.
• (2024-02-25) Danny Sands: When it works it's not bad. But it usually won't work at all and I am forced to restart Chrome. In addition, it frequently requires me to re-authenticate, which slows me down. Zotero is free and is much more reliable. I am stuck with Mendeley for some of my work because the company I work for standardized on it. I'd really like it if the extension developers would address the reliability problems. Secondly, it is terrible at identifying metadata in PDFs. I am using Mendeley because I have to for work but for anything else I trust Zotero, which is much more reliable.
• (2023-12-23) Ibnu Rashyd: Awesome tool, stupid dev maintaining it.
• (2023-12-05) Emilian Comșulea: Well the extension is obviously broken and not taken care of. Dissapointing from Elsevier.
• (2023-12-01) Sajad Familsamavati: Useful extension that comes with zero reliability and consistency. Would give 0 star, since it works for 5 days then stop working and everything you did is for nothing. Please fix it.
• (2023-11-23) Adams Torres Sanchez: The chrome extension is not working. Please, fix this issue. It used to be very helpful.
• (2023-11-20) Diego Casado Esteras: Not working at all
• (2023-11-19) Anrich Piek: Doesn't work at all. Opens a log in pop-up, closes and then does nothing.
• (2023-11-13) shimaa mahmoud: it is really unique but only when I add the reference manually, it is not working on chrome. please solve this problem soon because it is really helpful.
• (2023-11-12) Sami Vuori: I don't know what has happened at Mendeley's end, but currently pressing the Mendeley Web Importer tool button is like playing a slot machine game: sometimes you win, but mostly don't. My Windows 10 computer is running Intel i7, has 16 GB of RAM and all the latest software updates + latest Chrome, and still Mendeley refuses to work. On a good day I'm able to import 2-5 out of 15 references. I'm changing the system to something else.
• (2023-11-09) Laura Finnegan: Used to work perfectly and now doesn't even open properly! So disappointing, I've been using Mendeley since 2013 and am now going to have to change reference manager.
• (2023-11-08) Massimo Scola: It's not working. When I click on the extension, a new browser window opens and closes immediately. Not sure what it is doing. Judging from the reviews of other people, I am not alone with this issue. So why bother with this extension if there are other reference tools available that do work?
• (2023-11-08) Paola Zuñiga: Se borraron todas mis referencias que tenia guardadas, trato de sincronizar pero no responde y solo me saca de la pagina. pésimo
• (2023-11-08) Silvia Tejera: Antes funcionaba muy bien. Ahora no sincroniza, va fatal. No funciona en su gran mayoría de veces.
• (2023-11-06) Mari B: it used to be super helpful. now it doesn't even save my papers. Disappointing.
• (2023-11-05) Ellie Thomas: Hardly even works. The add-on is absolutely useless. Going to have to switch to a different programme. I don't know what happened to Mendeley, but they seem to have lost their credibility
• (2023-11-05) Laura A.: Man kann nur bestimmte PDF Dateien überhaupt importen, selten auch einfach über die Website. Ingesamt ist Mendeley schach. Wäre gerne bei Citavi geblieben aber bin aber zu MacOS gewechselt.
• (2023-11-05) Girish Patidar: useless
• (2023-11-05) REYNER AURELIO PUMA QUEHUARUCHO: Ahora ya no funciona, antes se sincronizaba muy bien, ahora solo es un estorbo, es momento de volver a zotero, lamentable el trabajo del desarrollador en de la aplicacion.
• (2023-11-04) Abdiel Chávez: No funciona!
• (2023-11-03) Jesper Krog: It doesn't work... Simple as that...
• (2023-10-31) Raffay Hannan: Really Disappointing. It does not work.
• (2023-10-30) Michelle Lee: I agree with all the reviewers who have mentioned that Mendeley's transition under Elsevier has been a complete nightmare. This extension doesn't work, and the new reference platform is terrible. Elsevier clearly has no idea what scholars, writers, researchers, etc. need in order to do their work because nothing is working the way it should; things that were great before are no obsolete or completely gone; and the interface they've replaced it with is not only inefficient and convoluted but incredibly glitchy. Such a shame, because I've used Mendeley since 2012.
• (2023-10-30) kirkuleetz: This extension used to be superb. Now it's a buggy mess which doesn't actually work anymore. Absolutely gutted. Will update my rating if or when it starts to work again as it should.
• (2023-10-29) Victoria Dotto: I re-added the extension so I could review it, something has happened over the last few years and Mendeley has just gone downhill. Super slow, does not import references correctly or completely. Been using this software for ages but it's time to switch.
• (2023-10-29) Britt DGx: The whole software package is buggy and inconsistant. It's (best case scenario) 50/50 whether pushing a button that is supposed to do a thing will do it, whether in the web plug-in or in the desktop app. It's a shame too because if it just worked, if it just did the thing it was supposed to do, it would be great, but no, that has not been my experience at all. I think I'll have to search for an alternative, with all the spare time a person has who is studying and working... Annoyingly unnecessary!!
• (2023-10-28) antony george: wont work properly , not dependable
• (2023-10-28) Qoffal Shodiq: Can't open it, no longer works
• (2023-10-27) Cecilia Apa: Funcionó bien en un inicio. Actualmente no funciona nunca... problemas con iniciar sesión, no sincroniza, no agrega referencias. Por favor arreglen este problema!!!
• (2023-10-27) Draconic_112: L'extension web ne marche tout simplement pas...
• (2023-10-27) Peter B: No longer works :(
• (2023-10-26) Tobía Agustín Gonda: Very unreliable, it does not open up when you click on the extension and its just very frustrating. Seems like I'm not the only one having this problem and it is a shame that they dont fix it.
• (2023-10-23) Em B: does not work!
• (2023-10-22) Joseph Obando: No funciona, intento referenciar y se cierra la ventana
• (2023-10-20) J. S.: No funciona: las referencias supuestamente importadas no aparecen en la cuenta de Mendeley, a pesar de que se haya iniciado sesión con anterioridad.
• (2023-10-19) Benjamin Jackson: This used to be superb, now it doesn't work
• (2023-10-19) Shivay Parihar: Doesn't work most of the time.
• (2023-10-17) Robin Gauff: Simply doesn't work anymore, like most Mendeley stuff. How could someone mess all of this up so hard? Mendeley was the best and now its unusable...
• (2023-10-17) maria chara: Ya no funciona. En un inicio muy bien. Ahora nada
• (2023-10-17) Mariely Medina: It doesn't work anymore. I tried everything, what happend to it after the update?
• (2023-10-14) Grzegorz Bereta: Stuck on login window, pop up closes itself without logging in.
• (2023-10-13) Kerem DOĞAN: Çalışmıyor. Oturum açmak için dönüyor. Sonuç yok.
• (2023-10-13) Leah Van Raalte: It worked amazing until recently. Now it just doesn't do anything
• (2023-10-13) Déborah Epicoco: Mendeley is a great platform but the chrome extension never works! It is supposed to be helpful, but I spend more time adding them manually to my library than I do actually using them. This is definitely something that needs to be largely improve!
• (2023-10-13) 朱逸杰: Too many bugs for daily use.
• (2023-10-12) Juan Sebastian Valdivieso Gonzalez: Pésima, agregué varias referencias y cuando revisé la carpeta, no había ninguna. Un desastre.
• (2023-10-11) Santiago Urban Martinez: no se puede iniciar sesión
