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.

Easy to find what you're interested in but makes reading it too difficult. no dark mode, text size is too small and it jumps to the beginning every time. Premium function is ridiculously overpriced.
