Ratings and Reviews
save yourself some frustration and use the website.
I like the Sciwheel service. I use it almost everyday. It is not perfect, but has what I need to get my work done. However, I do not recommend installing this app. It seems unfinished as of Oct 2021. For me the issue that made it unusable is lack of landscape orientation. I use an iPad pro with a keyboard, so portrait mode is not going to work for me. Another issue is with sign on. I log into Sciwheel using another service. SSO is not implemented yet. My conclusion is that using the website offers a better experience even though there are issues with that on the iPad too.
Just my opinion, but when people are selling a service and lack the resources to create a polished app, they do themselves more harm than good by releasing a frustrating app. Effort would probably be better spent on making the website more compatible with mobile web browsers.
I LOVE Sciwheel
Although I use sciwheel daily and I love it, the app does not work for me. It will not authenticate to my google account. Crazy!!! Why?!?!? Very annoying.
That said, use sciwheel, it will revolutionize the way you wrote papers! And read them and archive them. It has, no joke, changed my life as a PI.
Needs lots of work
As many others have pointed out already, this app doesn’t support landscape view on the iPad, which makes it practically useless.
Also, when I’m trying to add a note/highlight to a PDF article that I have uploaded, the PDF jumps back to the beginning, which makes it very hard to interact with the section I’m trying to comment on. It doesn’t seem like this app is receiving much attention from the developers, which is a shame, because the desktop/laptop version is quite useful. The lack of useful features on the iPad version means that I cannot count on my iPad as a replacement for my laptop. This is a shame, because it is one of the only apps holding me back from using my iPad full time.
I will be investigating Zotero options on the iPad to see if they’re any better.
