![]() I can live with a nagging prompt about 32bit applications, but the performance issue is a significant issue! Needless to say, I have held off deploying X9 at the higher education institution where I work. And this is with a library stored in a desktop folder with no attachments, running on a late 2013 Mac Pro with 32GB of memory, or a 2017 15in MacBook Pro. ![]() Adding / editing even a relatively small number of records, the application slows to a crawl … and this is only resolved by closing and re-opening the library. Version X9 under macOS Mojave is almost unusable. Recent upgrades haven’t been associated with signigicant improvements to functionality and more importantly … haven’t addressed significant known bugs, particulrly with the macOS version, e.g. But I am more concerned about basic functionality / useabilty of the desktop application. Yes, it would be ‘nice’ to see improvements to the iOS app and the introduction of an Android alternative. Having provided EndNote support to researchers since the introduction of version X, I agree that the application is due for a significant update. Please chime in to this discussion if you can. Of course, maybe I’m off base here, and someone else can offer a glimmer of hope that I’m not seeing. Add to it the 2007-era interface, and it just seems like Clarivate plans to keep the software going in its current form until it stops making money. ![]() Thoughts? For me, it’s one of those things where I’m moving on to a different product if there’s no further planned development on the horizon EndNote is far from perfect, and I’m just tired of struggling to find ways to access my documents on the go (the website is not viable option). I’m sure Clarivate has 1 or 2 developers on staff to patch show-stopper bugs, but it seems obvious to me that any attempts at bringing “next-gen” features to market would have happened long ago…the last two versions of this software seem completely iterative. ![]() It’s February 2019 and we still have no Android app, the iOS app is terrible, and the desktop software is a security risk and a resource hog. That is, do you feel that EndNote is basically done being actively developed? This thought originally started in response to another thread post, but I’d like to see if others’ perspectives match my own. ![]()
