As a doctor, I find Google Scholar very handy for preliminary reference on a subject before I go into more detailed search in the subject.
★☆☆☆☆Martin Eizinger· Apr 25, 2026
Unusable due to ads. The first line of the app description is: "Streamlined app for easy access to Google Scholar, [...]" This core feature is not fulfilled in the free version, because the ads prevent "easy access" or "streamlined" use.
