Bookends On Tap was removed from the App Store in 2017. And it's really nice to hear that it still works great! New features of Bookends for iOS are: • Cloud Sync. • Citation creation. • Siri Shortcuts. • Updated pdf engine with greatly improve Apple Pencil support. • Note stream for PDF Annotations...

Please try to force quit Bookends for iOS and then try to empty trash again, if it doesn't help please wait for the next app update.

Please follow the steps described in the user guide for Cloud Sync:

Yes, currently, our Bookends for iOS db search engine is limited to basic searches, we are planning to improve it.

Navigation between references with arrows should work and we have a set of commands, including copying temporary and final citations, called via the command button. Are you using Bookends in Split Screen mode? Maybe another app just always holds the keyboard focus..?

Thanks for the report. This problem should be fixed in the next update.

... An added problem is that any new notes are just added to the end – it seems impossible to put them into their correct position.

Tap and hold on any visible notecard and via the contextual menu you will see the "Show all notes" option. All notes can be edited as plain text there.

Google scholar or arXiv (the two that I use), I see directly the settings to return search results sorted by date among other options.

By default, arXiv and Google Scholar search results are sorted by Relevance, but it can be changed to Date in Settings -> Search Engines -> Engine options.

Even without Bookends app installed, if you put some files to the Bookends folder on Mac, they should be synced automatically to all of your devices logged in under the same account. So, it’s strange that you see files (downloaded or not) on your newer device (iPhone) and not on your older device (i...

Please try to temporary create a new folder in the “Bookends folder with icon” on Mac. This should force iCloud to sync the folder if for some reasons changes weren't synced previously. Also please open the Bookends folder in Files app on iOS, do you see all your recently modified files there?

Bookends for iOS now supports Siri Shortcuts. This feature requires iOS 14+ and requires Pro Features Yearly in-app purchase. More information about current shortcuts can be found here: https://www.sonnysoftware.com/bookendsontap/sirishortcuts/ Please add your questions or suggestions about Siri Sho...

Indeed, it would be great if we could have a long-press menu for the Attachment icon in Bookends itself that would allow us to open in an external app directly. Currently we open the Bookends PDF viewer, then Share, then select a menu of options for what to do with annotations, then finally get the...

Yes, I see "Copy to PDF Expert" option only, but PDF Viewer still allows open in place. So, this time it looks it's not iOS bug, but maybe PDF Expert has changed something. Could you please write to their support.

Sure, sidebar will be added but not with iOS 14 release. There are some changes in the project we should make first to enable this feature.
