• Excellent customer support for a great program

  andy136April 19, 2012

  Pros

  I've received outstanding and prompt customer support from Sonny Software. Can't ask for anything better than that.

  Cons

  Only minor gripe I have is that there are fewer options and formats for reference entry and formatting than RefWorks. I could probably customize the fields but have not done that -- yet -- have not needed to do it.

  Summary

  All in all an excellent program with super customer support. I'll happily live with the minor glitches, they don't get in the way of doing what I need.

• Excellent Mac bibliographic/reference manager software

  CynicOctober 28, 2010

  Pros

  Consistently works. Ability to search for pdfs of references on line. Developer very responsive to questions and problems and will incorporate useful suggestions in future versions.

  Autocomplete paper from pdf works inconsistently. Integration with Word 2008 using scripts not as seamless as previous versions.

  Summary

  Migrated from EndNote several years ago and haven't looked back. This is an excellent mac bibliographic / reference manager.

  Handles references and bibliographies excellently, it is perfectly integrated into my word processor, Mellel. It produces as many formats as needed, and making specific formats for journals not in the list, is easy.

  Cons

  There are no cons

  Bookends is way superior in all respects to other bibliography software.

• best Bibliography app on the Mac

  ozeanJanuary 7, 2009

  Pros

  Cons

  Summary

  This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.<br />So many outstanding features that I cannot even start here. I only want to point out the quality of this app by pointing out the sort of features that are put into a .x.x release: * completely overhauled ability to define fields and thus generate formats that are much closer to official guidelines such as MLA or APA than those offered by other bibliography apps. * ability to define links between bibliography entries (more than that, they can even take specific values such as â??review ofâ??, or â??chapter inâ??) Definitely a five star app and definitely the app with the best user support I know.
