Just like Spotify, the QX Read app seems too good to be true. And free. I’d pay $5 or $10 for this little guy. Thanks to Cunningham for letting me know about this one. There could be other similar apps but this one so far has no shortcomings.

The app lets you perform literature searches, follow journals, follow keywords, follow collections you or other users make. It checks for new articles using your keywords and specialty interests. Best feature is you can login with the UL Library Proxy and while you read the abstract of the article, the app is getting permission for the article and you can open the pdf in seconds. Then open the app in your cloud app to save.

I’m sure you all get as frustrated as I do trying to use your phones to search for and download articles through UL’s library website ; ).
