EZPaperz. Papers' PDFs, synced for Android
Thank you for the app, what I do miss the most is the ability to annotate and sync the annotations. Do you think it will happen soon?
Crashes with sync
Had some initial trouble syncing my Papers 2 library. Developer was quick to respond and begin looking into the problem. In the meantime, I tried out the papers 3 trial, and syncing works great. Would be nice if the article entries took up less screen space, and that the collections behaviour were more like Papers itself (alphabetical order of symbol characters, show/hide child collections, merging child sets when selecting parent, smart collections etc). But 5 stars anyway for addressing a very urgent and important need!
After installation, it immediately crashes each time. Good product idea, but completely useless and a waste of time
At this point I'm just thrilled to be able to access my papers library on Android. That said a native reader that allows for annotation and sync would make this an easy 5 star app.
I can say EzPaperz is very promising! Worked great with ezPDF reader which I use for reading papers. However its potential is spoiled by the limited sync options. Changes you make on either your tablet or Mac will stay on that device. Specifically: (a) I changed a paper on my Mac, but I couldn't get EzPaperz to download the new version on my tablet. I couldn't even remove the local version and re-download. (b) I annotated a paper with ezPDF on my tablet, but I cannot get the annotated version back on my Mac. With support for simple manual push/pull between Mac and Android EzPaperz would be a 4/5 app for me. With full bidirectional EzPaperz would definitely worth a 5/5 app. Another (lesser) issus is that you're not sure where the downloaded papers are stored. As built-in storage is often limited, being able to choose to store everything on the external SD card would be great.
I ahem been looking for something like this for a very long time. Great start, keep up the good work. NEED A WIN version as well. AMAZING WORK. BEST DEV EVER
I since my library to Google Drive... Can u mod the app to allow for this?
Large collections don't sync
Downloading papers 2 library ends in a crash, and continues to crash on reopening app. I tried it with a new library (with one PDF entry), and the same thing occurred. Error box that flashes on screen says "sqliteCantOpenDatabaseException, code 14". Edit: Tried to see if updating to android 5.1.1 would fix the above problem, and now it won't even install ("incompatible" with my device, apparently)

I realize the app supports Papers only. Any plans to support Mendeley?
Simple and fast. I miss: tags filtering, embedded PDF reader, and download an entire collection. Looking forward for updates. Please, do a paid version with all features on.
I had switched from Papers to Mendeley because I couldn't find any Android app. I guess it is time to go back to Papers. Thank you for creating this app :D
It works great, even with my large library. I highly recommend this to all Papers users that aren't fully locked in the Apple environment.
That's all I can say. I almost made myself buy the iPhone 6 plus because my note 3 does not have a dedicated app for my papers library. You have done me and my research a great favor mate. Thanks again!!!!! I love you!!!
Perfect for reading my papers in the tube!! :)
Very solid app. Works flawlessly with my Papers 3 account. And, most importantly (to me), no mysterious permissions trying to catch data about everything I do on my phone.
Finally the app I was looking for

Using this app I can easily read and annotate my papers on my tablet using my preferred pdf reader. Exactly what I was looking for. Development seems very active but focused on the follow up app AzizLite which I would recommend to download instead.
