“I’ve been looking for an app like this for years. Although other tools are useful for cataloguing PDFs and making annotations, this is the first app that presents new research abstracts in an attractive and easy-to- browse interface. It’s much more efficient than alerts, and helps me catch up on the latest publications during my work commute. Kudos to the developers on a job well done!” Chris Whelan, Medicine, University of Southern California
