Comments and Reviews

   
Comment summary: Qiqqa is highly regarded for its robust reference management and research capabilities, with features like OCR, tagging, and full-text search receiving frequent praise. However, users express disappointment over the lack of updates and support, noting stagnation and compatibility issues for non-Windows platforms. Many find it indispensable for research and managing large volumes of literature, but improvements in development and cross-platform availability are desired.

This really is a great Windows, Android and Web application, and I recommend it to anyone who wants a user-friendly, yet powerful, robust and entertaining mindmapper.

I like Qiqqa, because it is very good pdf manager. It's impressive how quickly you work when you already have it. Experience in its use.

I have been using Qiqqa since 2015 for my doctoral studies and research. I would never have coped without my beloved electronic library. I am not a 'power' user, so the library with easy bulk upload of PDF's or Word docs, superior search capability, based on strong Optical Character Recognition (OCR), Bibtex for referencing, the theming feature, and the ability to annotate, are sufficient for me. I'm in the final stretch with my thesis, and Qiqqa has been my vital companion. I love Qiqqa and tell everyone about it!

So disappointed with this. Having used it before it went open source, it seems to have stagnated. the last full release was more than 2 years ago, there are quite a few "unpublished" versions which are still glitchy. Qiqqa offers an idea solution for research not matched by the other out there. the lack of development indicate it has stalled (if it ever really took off!) Such a shame !

Our Head of R&D did an extensive analysis of different tools. qiqqa clearly stood out of the crowd. Thanks for this great enabler!
