         | wrong. Are there other Android apps that aren't necessarily
         | provided by Zotero? They seem to have a pretty open API for
         | access to your online library. For example, I used to use a
         | completely different iOS app than the Zotero proper app for
         | annotating PDFs.

       | how does this compare to zotero?

         | Doesn't. I used jabref for a long time, zotero is better.
         | Zotero has integration with browsers and sync which is its
         | biggest advantage
