References for Android - Download Free [Latest Version + MOD] 2025

Whats new in References v3.4.1

6 things about References

1. To view file attachments (e.g., PDFs), the path to each file should be included in the corresponding entry in your BibTeX library.
2. - If you used BibDesk or JabRef to create your library, the app can view your file attachments (e.g., PDFs that you have attached to your references).
3. A BibTeX library is a collection of bibliographic references (papers, books, reports, etc.), designed to work with the LaTeX typesetting system.
4. - You can view references grouped by keywords, if you use the Keywords field in your BibTeX libraries.
5. The app is able to read attachments stored on your device, or on iCloud Drive, or on third-party providers including Box, Dropbox, Google Drive, Nextcloud or OneDrive.
6. Each library is stored in a specially-formatted text file (typically ending in .bib), which you can create with your favourite text editor.

Need Apple Pencil Support while reading PDF using the inbuilt PDF viewer

Google Pencil Support while reading PDF using the inbuilt PDF viewer needs to be added to make this app a full fledged app.

Not bad!

As a bibdesk user this app is really what I need, allowing me to access my library seamlessly. Handy. I wonder if it’s possible, when opening attached PDFs, to have the option of opening it in other viewers e.g. acrobat? Currently one can only import it to acrobat, but then it creates a new file. If there’s an option to open the file in acrobat directly I thought it really completes the workflow. Thanks!

Simple and to the point

Great way to access BibTex on Mobile. The developer is active and adds features all the time (like access to OneDrive, and other cloud storage). Very recommended.

Nothing else like it

This app is a must for academics working with latex/bibtex. It's very easy to use, and there is nothing else like it on the App Store. One suggestion: it would be great to be able to export not just the bibtex code, but also a formatted citation (e.g. in RTF), similarly to what bibdesk can do on a Android.
