Comments on ResearchGate for Android

★★★★★ Keith Rennolls · Jul 23, 2026

Research gate seems a much more useful research outlet than peer reviewed subscription journals. Once an original paper is accepted by a peer reviewed subscription journal, even the author has no access to their own paper, unless they pay. ResearchGate is open to a range of paper types and is free at point of access. Reader stats are recorded and fed back to authors. Readers can request full text from the authors, and follow authors, and even communicate with authors if they wish.

★★★★★ Dr Santosh Kumar Rout · Jul 8, 2026

I sincerely thank the ResearchGate team for providing an outstanding platform that connects researchers across the globe. It has greatly enhanced academic collaboration, knowledge sharing, and access to high-quality research. The user-friendly interface, active scholarly community, and valuable research metrics make it an indispensable resource for academics. I truly appreciate the continuous efforts to support researchers and promote scientific excellence at the global level.

★☆☆☆☆ Bronwyn · Apr 22, 2026

No ability to create an account or use the app unless you have an institutional email or have published research. I will go back to using the website

★☆☆☆☆ Eman Yosrey · Apr 5, 2026

The app suddenly, I have to open many times to start, please fix it

★☆☆☆☆ Tomasz Fiszer · Jun 8, 2026

Access locked behind the gate. Limiting access to research to academics only is exactly what's wrong with our society! Everyone should be allowed to learn and access research, which is most often publicly funded anyway without being academic themselves.

★☆☆☆☆ Sagar Soni · Jul 25, 2026

I just want to read research papers create a profile using Gmail, i don't have university link, your app onboarding form is very confusing keep it simple so new app users who just want to read can join
