Nicole Ahmed (ID: 000000a5eb87142e) Voted 3 ★ - Updated 11/21/2024 UPDATE NOVEMBER 2024: I've managed to sign in again. Signed into my account on mendeley.com first on chrome and on edge. Kept pressing the extension button and letting all the popups happen. Finally managed to sign in to the extension too. I love this extension and managed to get it working in a roundabout way. Once installed I wasn't able to sign in but I noticed that the sign in button would open a mendeley logo on my taskbar - which is exactly how Edge (which uses Chromium) adds webapps to computers. Using this hunch, I opened up edge. Logged on to mendeley on edge. Left edge open. Opened Chrome and tried to sign in again. It worked! I had to try it a few times but I'm definitely signed in and using the extension perfectly. I believe the issue here is that the chromium coding for the mendeley extension is somehow calling up Edge instead of a Google chrome window for signing in. hopefully you all can get it working!

Harry Wu (Chorister) (ID: 000000efe75e7ac4) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 07/02/2024 Dec 2020. The plug in takes forever to load. The usual save citation and pdf menu won't show up. Chrome and plugin are in latest version. Update in July 2024, they still haven't fix this issue. Additionally, on some publication sites, the plugin will only prompt your institution login (SSO) as default. Once logging in, it doesn't allow me to log in with my Mendeley account (different email address) any more, and subsequently doesn't allow me to add the article to my collection.

Núria Fustier (ID: 0000000c207aaa4e) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 05/19/2024 Esta extensión en los últimos tiempos cada vez funciona peor. De cada 5 veces que la activas solo hace su función una. Deben mejorarla. Edito la reseña en mayo de 2024... funciona aún peor si cabe que hace 8 meses... No funciona nunca.

Tofy (ID: 00000017ad06a3bc) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 05/09/2024 The first thing you read, beside the app name, when you open this page is "Fast, convenient import of...", well... that is just false. This thing is VERY slow, that when it functions... However, here is a small tip: if it didn't work, try reloading the page. It works with me... sometimes.

Danny Sands (ID: 000000463cafaf79) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 02/25/2024 When it works it's not bad. But it usually won't work at all and I am forced to restart Chrome. In addition, it frequently requires me to re-authenticate, which slows me down. Zotero is free and is much more reliable. I am stuck with Mendeley for some of my work because the company I work for standardized on it. I'd really like it if the extension developers would address the reliability problems. Secondly, it is terrible at identifying metadata in PDFs. I am using Mendeley because I have to for work but for anything else I trust Zotero, which is much more reliable.
