Comments on Researcher: Discover & Discuss for Android

★★★★★ Would be cool to create feeds that are based on a list of journals and not keywords. The publications feed gets cluttered with journals of different topics otherwise.

★★★★★ Greatest research app. I've been using for over a year. Always up to date. Be right on with the newest papers and journals across all fields. Good work, THANKS.

★★★★★ Researcher is the best addition to google scholar out there. The topics you can't find with Google Scholar even after looking for it for 3 months? You will probably find something about it in the researcher app. But researcher is no good if you use it as your only search machine, since only recent studies are publishes here. Or you can just open it keep up with the topics you are interested in. No Ads, no hidden costs. It's great.

★★★★★ Loving this app in general! The feeds and notifications features are fantastic and such a time saver. My only complaints currently are that the sync with Mandela isn't importing author names, which is extremely annoying now that Mandela can't automatically update this info. And that the more complex boolean operators for feed searches don't seem to be explicitly available in the app to get my searches really good. Otherwise, enjoying it so much - thanks!!

★★☆☆☆ App no longer works. It keeps saying "can't refresh feed", and after clearing data or uninstalling and reinstalling, it doesn't let me log in with the error "Please check your connection"

★★☆☆☆ Try to get it sync with Otero, but it does not work after successfully log into my Otero account. Other reviews here showed the same problem.

★★☆☆☆ So far, completely useless. The papers it suggested as of "interest" to me have absolutely nothing to do with my field of research. If I wanted to sync my ORCID profile with the app, I would have to share my ORCID password with them, which I don't want to do. My papers are visible and available in my ORCID page; no password is needed. Why do they want my password? I will most likely uninstall.

★★☆☆☆ Please, God let us unsubscribe from news and podcasts in here. Was a brilliant app for following journal articles, now filled with spam from pop science places. For every relevant article there's a handful of badly reported pop press on it in the same feed. Totally removes the use case of what was my most used app. Just a switch to unsub from non journal sources please.

★★☆☆☆ Can't sign it, says "please check your internet connection despite perfect internet on multiple different Wi-Fi networks.
