Keeps improving

The app keeps getting better and provides a good UI. I like the fact that I get to pick concepts I am interested in and can focus on multiple areas at the same time.

Developer Response ,

Hi, thanks for sticking with the app and sharing about the improvements we keep making to it! We liked to hear that it fulfills your need to read about multiple areas of interest :) Do keep sharing feedback and suggestions for improvement by writing to us at discovery@researcher.life.

I want to love this app…

The app is great and has a lot of features that are great for students and researchers. I love that I can select topics and journals that are relevant to me and that it provides me plenty of OpenAccess options. However, the app is super clunky and slow. It seems bloated on the back end and it makes the app almost unusable. I think I may just use it to get a reading list going and then read the articles on another app like Zotero or Reader.

Developer Response ,

We request you to please write to us at discovery@researcher.life with your registered email ID, and we will try to fix this as soon as possible for you. Regards.

Great idea, but app doesn't work

The Home Screen is loading for three days now, audio translation is in the promo banners but doesn't exist in reality, buttons in the search are extremely slow. Also sometimes I don't understand what all these sections are. Also I would like to have more advance search functionality. But for now it's impossible to use.
