Bookends for iOS should remember the last read position of the PDF. It will be reset only when the PDF is modified outside of the app (cloud sync, or import from other app). Also, BOT on iPad remembers the last viewed reference per group, it works like Mail.app on iPad. On iPhone I’m not sure that g...

Here is a link about Files app.
Yes, files from dropbox can be deleted. There are not any copies, just original files are stored in the iCloud Drive/Bookends folder and synced across all your devices.

Bookends Wi-Fi Sync: if you send me your Bookends library to bookendsontap@sonnysoftware.com and I will try to sync it locally to see if the problem is reproducible. Cloud sync: Bookends for iOS tries to download all attachments after every sync, but iCloud Drive makes the final decision… So, if som...

Autocomplete reference from the imported PDF (if doi or isbn can be parsed from the pdf) is planned in a future update.

Not yet, but it's something we'd like to add.

We only control what is submitted, Google controls what is returned. If you find a discrepancy between BOT and Safari (browser search) in what Google returns please contact us at our tech support address: bookendsontap@sonnysoftware.com with the search request and a screenshot of the advanced search...

Thank you, it should be fixed in the next update.

The example I gave you for “import a pdf from any app” was just to send a temporary file to iCloud Drive to “unlock” (create) the special type of iCloud Drive folder. Starting from Bookends 3.2.5 - it’s not necessary. Now that you have “Bookends folder with icon” on both macOS and iOS, all you shoul...

The simplest way is just to import any attachment (from any pdf viewer via Share option) to Bookends to the already synced library. You can delete this reference with attachment later. But if you are using Bookends 3.2.4 or later this step should be automated by the app itself (it puts “Bookends Clo...

The changes we made in 13.0.2 have improved the situation somewhat, but it's still an annoying problem. As you can see from my previous post, other developers are seeing the same issue. We have contacted Apple Dev support about this problem. Either Apple will have to fix it or, If there is a solutio...

1Password is another app using CloudKit “outside of the Mac App Strore”. With the same re-login problem (authentication token expires every 8 hours) and the same conclusion that, unfortunately “it isn’t something we have control over. iCloud authentication is handled solely by Apple”. You can read m...

Yes, we will add this "pull to refresh" feature in the next update. Thanks for the suggestion.

Yes, it’s one of the features we would like to implement.
