I've been using Bookends for years now. It's a wonderful product and it is backed up by a simply amazing developer. As expected with any such complex piece there have been a few minor hiccups over the years. Jon's responsiveness is unparalleled in my experience, and I've been using Macs since the 80s. Kudos to you sir!!

I gave this program 5 stars over 2 years ago when it was at version 9.1. Its currently at v 10.3.2, and I wanted to leave feedback after 2 years of daily use. When I started using this program, I was desperately searching for an EndNote replacement. I tried this and Sente, and also tried Papers for a bit. Sente had a nicer UI, but wasn't as powerful or as stable at the time. Papers couldn't generate a bibliography. I went with Bookends and never looked back.
I haven't looked at Sente or Papers since so I can't make a comparison, but I am perfectly satisfied. Bookends is now my workhorse and I have over 2000 references in my database, most with linked PDFs. I am a physician and a lab scientist and I use this program to file and maintain my collection of papers as well as write papers and grants. I collaborate occasionally with EndNote users and this goes fairly smoothly. Actually, my colleagues (PC using ones) usually salivate with envy when I fire up Bookends to find something in my library. I have been recommending it wholeheartedly over EndNote to all Mac users that I work with, many of which are recent PC converts. Updates have incorporated very useful new features (PDF view, smart categories, library sync, etc) and have been very consistent.
This is not only a viable alternative to EndNote, but it is an outstanding application.

I'm curious if any reviewers can comment on this program vs. Quosa, which has had a Mac version for years. Many comment on this program vs. Sente but Quosa is curiously absent from the discussion.
