About this app

ZotEZ² is a third-party client on Android for synchronizing, sorting and downloading articles that are managed with Zotero, and stored on either Zotero Servers, WebDav, Dropbox, Google Drive or OneDrive , and even locally.

In addition to the standard use of Zotero synchronization, ZotEZ² aims at facilitating file management for users of Zotero that chose to store their library database on another Cloud than the default ones.

Since ZotEZ² is currently "read-only", there is no risk of database corruption, even if your files are stored on a third-party Cloud, like Dropbox, GDrive or OneDrive.

ZotEZ² is the "read-only" version of a bigger project (Aziz, see Aziz, Lite!) intended to provide editing options as well as full side note management, for any of these reference management softwares: Papers (see our app EZPaperz), Zotero, and Mendeley (see MendEZ).

Free features :

Syncing your papers' library directly from Zotero servers, and connecting to a WebDav for stored pdf or linked pdf attachments.

(Beta) Fast Loading of papers: if you have a large number of papers, you can choose to load them at the same time as they are displayed, so that you can access them while the others are still loading.

Ratings and reviews

I really like that this will allow me to connect to my webdav setup so I purchased the full app with all features (I want to support developers who make my life easier) but for whatever reason, despite recognizing that the library needs to sync, everytime it atempts a sync it says "sync failed" and only some of my library folders/collections are showing up. This wouldnt be a big deal (not enough to dock 2 stars), except there is no way within the app to send feedback (!). Help me out.

This is the best Android app for Zotero ever made. In fact, it is the ONLY one that ever worked with my huge library (6000+ items). I use Zotero collections as the primary organization tool, so navigation without a responsive folding tree is impossible. Zotez2 nailed it. The app is also high-contrast, looking great on my Onyx eink reader. The whole database takes about 15 seconds to load on the app startup. Word of caution: if you are like me and have a huge library, keep the database file local. Zotero server is slow through no fault of the developer. I'm guessing this was the primary reason why Zandy never got to the point of being usable.

Connects to Zotero cloud just fine and lists my bibliography. I can also view metadata. I can't figure out how to download the articles from my library, so the app isn't very useful until I can do this. There are no icons on the listed articles to download, only long taking does anything and it shows the metadata. App has a lot of promise. The price is cheap if it worked.
