You will take advantage of the iPad and iPhone Retina screens and never need to print your publications anymore.
ANNOTATE | PaperShip provides a lot of annotation types which go far beyond what most of the reference managers offer (available through In-App Purchase). And as our tools are compliant with the PDF standard, your annotations will be available in most of the other readers.
METADATA | PaperShip allows you to read and edit article's metadata. You can now add tags, update title or change authors in an easy way whatever the type of document you are reading.
IMPACT | PaperShip is the first reference manager to link your articles to the new almetric data! Just know in real time what are the impacts of your publications inside the scientific community.
MANAGE | PaperShip keeps your articles organized based on your Mendeley/Zotero folders. Add a paper to your favorites or move it to another folder by using an incredible pane and swipe navigation. Your articles will always stay at your fingertips with the search engine.
IMPORT | Just import a new paper by tapping some keywords or looking at author name and PaperShip will bring it to your library. By selecting the Open Access option, you will be able to download automatically the linked PDF for free.

Ratings and Reviews
Adequate but buggy
As the only tool that allows full and easy Apple Pencil annotations for Mendeley it is a great tool. It is far more functional than the Mendeley iPad app. However the App is buggy, crashing when you have more than 20-30 PDF's (20 odd pages each) downloaded. The work around is to delete and re-download the application to ensure you stay bellow this limit.
Additionally, the app would benefit from the text smoothing for Apple Pencil available in some apps that makes hand writing more readable.
Doesn’t sync latest library additions
My Zotero seems to work fine on my Macbk. For PDFs previously downloaded to PaperShip it works very well enough for me to pay heavily for Zotero highest rung. However, PaperShip appears to go through the motions of downloading the new files into my iPad (taking a couple of hours, and not giving any errors). ALL thousands of the PDFs in the database are then listed by PaperShip. But select one it throws a full screen error (404) suggesting that Zotero has not properly synced. I cannot be sure of where the errors are because so little diagnostic information is provided. I have put in 3 requests for PaperShip support, with acknowledgements by email, but no human responses at all. Zotero help is by contrast alive and very well. So it all points to PaperShip having sunk. I’d happily rate it with a 4 or 5 if it was refloated. Any software manufacturer should regard their software as only half-baked until it comes with decent diagnostics, not just telling you to resync. If anybody can suggest another iPad app with Zotero functionality please broadcast the information.
It’s ok
Maybe I’m still just a bit dirty about Mendeley deleting their iOS app… As a reader this is a great app, but I still have to have the Mendeley web app open to update and save new files, so it makes it a bit less useful overall. I appreciate the developers at least partially filling the hole left though!
