Great app. Just one thing though; when trying to highlight text the highlighter tool does not show up and I have to close the paper and reopen it. Other than that small little thing it's an amazing app that I use just to get a better understanding of academic writing and if I can get something that relates to what I am studying even better!

Complete and utter nightmare. My partner is bombarded with spam from Academia which can't be turned off. Logging in is a horrible and circuitous fiasco. When one can get in, you're only provided with the first few paragraphs of any article and then receive notifications of any other article with only a tenuous link to the original. I very much regret the time I've wasted trying to use this atrocious app.

The rating is not for the quality of the app itself but for the following reasons. I get notifications of publications mentions by someone who has the same name as me and has around 1750 mentions. The standard email says they are trying to improve their notifications and give several options if you click the "this is not me" link which I use every time. I can't even see the notifications without paying. I have tried using the contact us link to no avail. Absolutely fed up with it!
