Thank you, this would explain some other problems I have been having.

I believe that PocketBib was not updated to adjust for a change in the Dropbox API, which reduced its usefulness. Whether that led directly to it being removed from the App Store or not, I don’t know, but I think it was an indication that the developer was no longer supporting the application.

Currently using PocketBib on an old iPad. This has been working great. I will need to upgrade at some stage and not looking forward to it. The whole reason I bought the iPad was to read papers, annotate them and sync back to my main computer.

I don’t suppose anybody knows why PocketBib was removed from the App Store?

Hi list,

To cut to the point: Has any iPad user found a good way to access bibtex
files incl. links on their iPads?

I realize that this is not strictly speaking a Bibdesk question, so if this
considered inappropriate I apologize beforehand.

Backstory:
I am a happy Bibdesk user for some 10+ years. I have been using Pocketbib on iPad for several years to access my Bibdesk generated bibtex file with links to Google drive hosted pdfs. Its been *great* to have easy ipad
access to my huge article and book collection.

Recently I had to reinstall my iPad from scratch. I had not realised that Pocketbib had been pulled from the app store, and that the iPad backups no longer contains backups of the actual program. So it seems I can no longer get Pocketbib on my iPad. Of course I can still access the pdfs using the Google Drive app but it is just so much more cumbersome than the previous
solution.

Best
Morten

PS: I realize that at some point there were some attempt to make a Bibdesk for ios, but if I understand correctly it has very low priority. With the
current size of the number of active developers this is probably the
correct decision, as the main focus should be to keep OSX app in great
condition.
