What Real Users Say About Zotero Connector
Authentic feedback and real-world ratings from Mac & iOS users
Suggestion
"I use Zotero for reference management on all of my devices, and I love this app. I have a suggestion to add listening mode to the mobile app. Right now it’s only available on the computer version."
The PDF annotation tools are great, but the note-taking experience is seriously limited
"I can highlight text, annotate PDFs, and sync everything, but I can’t properly view formatted notes created on the desktop version. This is especially frustrating when working with poorly OCR’d historical books: on desktop, I can correct OCR errors in a citation while preserving the link to the original page. On iPad, I only see the original, corrupted OCR text instead of the edited citation. For a research app, this makes the iPad version feel incomplete. The annotation tools are excellent, but the lack of a proper note editor and support for existing formatted notes is a major limitation."
No confirmation email
"Gave valid email. Insists on two factor authentication, but never sends the code. Unusable."
Should be a paid app.
"Very impressed by this apps features. Remaining files using meta data is genius!"
Got Questions About Zotero Connector?
Q.Is Zotero Connector free, or does it require a subscription?
Zotero Connector is 100% free to download on the Apple App Store without predatory weekly subscription traps. You can install and use it across your Mac and iPhone Safari browsers.
Q.How do I enable Zotero Connector in macOS and iOS Safari?
On Mac (macOS): After downloading from the Mac App Store, open the application once, then launch Safari -> click "Settings" (or Preferences) in the menu bar -> select the "Extensions" tab -> locate "Zotero Connector" and check the box to enable it.

Yes, in the extension popup menu, you can configure hover keys (such as pressing Option / Alt) to display immediate bilingual tooltips without clicking.
