• (2018-02-26) Philip Salen: This has dramatically improved my workflow as I write research manuscripts. While normally I would not like another file system apart from google drive, filing manuscripts for later review is much easier with paperpile. It is worth every penny of the subscription. The people that run this service also reply very quickly, usually within hours, to my questions.
• (2017-04-11) James Mason: Absolutely the best reference manager for the cloud! Bar none. It looks like to get the complete experience, you want the Paperpile app, the Paperpile extension, and the MetaPDF app.
• (2017-02-20) Josmel Pacheco Mendoza: Excellent application, highly recommended, should be free.
• (2016-09-27) Welcome to the future. Finally decided to try using Google Docs to do my writing, and Paperpile has been solving the reference management problem quite nicely, probably nicer than traditional desktop options.
• (2016-08-12) Kevin Gori: By far the best citation manager I've used. Papers can be added from the browser with a single click, usually the PDF comes too. Missing PDFs can be automatically downloaded. Citations seamlessly integrate in google drive documents. The app layout is intuitive and the buttons are unobtrusive. Customer service is great. Very impressed.
• (2016-07-11) Alison Wallace: Really like this tool, easy to write and grab citations from the internet at the same time and organise my reading. Highly recommended. Our institution pays for it and it should be more widely known, it's really helpful.
• (2016-06-24) Bill Nobis: Really impressed. This is the best reference manager I have used. I have been able to convert many of my colleagues to it. Probably even more impressive, I was able to write a NIH grant on a chromebook using paperpile and google docs. Just a short time ago that would've been impossible. In the end I did have to convert it to a .doc file to work with collaborators tied to Word and to appease the institution. This conversion from google docs/paperpile to Word/Endnote was easy and flawless thanks to their sidebar add-on. I can't wait for them to release their Word plug-in so I can dump Endnote for good!
• (2016-05-03) Julien Nicolas: Love it!!!
• (2015-09-16) Leonardo Moltainfopiden: Works Great. An offline option would be great in case of field trips where internet is not available.
• (2015-07-08) peekpen: "something went wrong" paper pile not installed.
• (2015-05-10) Guy Giesa-Wilson: Incredibly easy to use and generally very good search results. Citations are usually spot on, and the "cited by" feature is extremely helpful. There is a (fairly modest) monthly fee after the one month trial period expires, but I'll be more than happy to pay it. The developers of this app certainly deserve it.
• (2015-03-16) Steven Hanson: I've been using this for a little over one year. It is indispensable for collecting papers to read later while at home so I don't have to VPN into a campus server. I've used others, and I have found this to be the most reliable and definitely the easiest to use.
• (2015-03-02) Kayode Adeleye: The application is not worth it. It's trash. I wont advise anyone to download it.
• (2015-02-06) Jack Tan: Great application and works seamlessly with google docs. A life saver now that I have decided to use a chromebox for my thesis!
• (2015-01-11) Peter Aldiss: Absolutely fantastic - the only thing missing from Docs and my Chromebook was a citation manager like this. I have now been able to stop logging into my institution desktop remotely and can write everything I need to from my Chromebook. I especially like the 1-click import from Pubmed etc. and how it just works, quickly and efficiently. Not only that but support is first class.
• (2014-12-18) Ferenc Borondics: Awesome application, the integration with Google Docs makes a great tool for collaborative scientific article writing.
• (2014-11-24) Jason Steffener: I have been using Paperpile for over a year now and I love it. I now use it for all of my grant applications and my scientific papers. It allows me to fully take advantage of Google docs and to seamlessly move between different computers and not worry about my bibliography. I have no plans to ever go back to using Word/Endnote. And the people at the company have been extremely responsive and helpful with anything I have ever needed.
• (2014-10-30) Sid C, Meta-address, not for contacting me: Excellent. Magic. I was forced to find a cross platform solution coming from Papers2 and I am happy I switched. Definitely the best way to organize and share literature resources online. Integrates with the google drive app ecosystem brilliantly. Best thing is uploading directories of PDFs and seeing them match metadata automatically! Missing: 1. Offline support (we need it to work everywhere) 2. Better text searching and selection 3. PDF annotation (I know its coming)
• (2014-10-21) Megan Casper: I've been in grad school a year and never been able to get any of the other suggested reference programs to work on my mac. I had given up hope and manually updated whenever I had to add a citation. Pain in the butt and really confusing on long papers! Insert paperpile. Not only are the citations great, customer service is amazing (two people wrote me back very quickly when I needed help) and you can see your pdfs anywhere. Definitely loving this program and going to share with cohort. Thanks so much!
• (2014-09-17) Davis McCarthy: Really impressed so far with Paperpile. I find it a fast, efficient way to manage and export papers. Adding papers to the library from google scholar or journal webpages works really quickly and well. Look forward to further improvements as the software matures.
