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.
