Ratings and reviews

Very good Academic app for literature review. But there is one problem, question and answer words limits are very annoying. Second, there is no followup question option. Third, answer words are very limited, it must be increased. Thanks

Great! Only annoyance is that when saving references to a list on the mobile app, there's a bug which keeps changing the selected list, resulting mis-saved references.

R Discovery is a fantastic app for students and researchers alike. It offers a massive collection of scholarly articles, including over 40 million open access publications, making it a great resource for finding relevant research. The AI-powered search and personalized feed help you stay up-to-date on the latest in your field, saving you time and effort. Overall, R Discovery is a valuable tool for anyone looking to efficiently explore academic research.
