Scored by a Toolio reviewer after real useOur verdict
The extension detects PDFs as you browse and sends them to your ReadPaper account with one click, where they sync across iPad, Windows and Mac apps. Beyond storage, ReadPaper adds an AI-driven reader, structured paper search and shared study groups for working with others. Free accounts are capped at 500 uploaded essays, so heavy researchers will eventually need to manage or clear their library.
