EndNote upgrade 2025

I have EndNote 21 on my computer which I bought during the last year 2024. I also have the EndNote web:

  1. is the 2025 upgrade free for me?
  2. I have a Samsung mobile, 2025; Is there an android app that allow me to use my EndNote citation manager efficiently?

You need to contact Clarivate, but I doubt Endnote2025 will be free – … and they will be able to tell you if there is an android app, too, but I only see iphone/ipad on their website.

I bought the 2025 upgrade despite the fact that I got 21 only few months ago during the last 2024. However, I would like to know if there is any big difference between using EndNote web and the mobile app? Did you try them? Does the app give you more options? Thank you leanne.

I have Endnote 21 and was expecting some things that were broken in 21 (from previous versions) to be fixed in 21. They wren’t so I am staying with 21 and not paying for any more upgrades.

EDIT Just seen a post of mine from 2023 that says “but looking at the forum people seem to be complaining that V20 and V21 are retrograde versions from V19.”

So a lot of V19 users were looking to have things not fixed but put back into V21 Likewise V29 users.

Worse still is the Endnote Wikipedia page that says
" With the release of version 4.0 in ca. 2000, EndNote attained most of its current functionality.[11] In the same year EndNote was acquired by Institute for Scientific Information’s (ISI) Research Soft Division, part of Thomson Corporation. Since then, i.e. for the last 20 years, EndNote’s functionality has not had any substantial changes.[14]

Any EndNote 2025 feedback from the early adopters? I’ve made peace with EndNote 21 and trying to decide whether to leave well enough alone or update since I have to get a new Windows PC anyway. Anything that’s not backwards compatible (got burned on that a few years ago trying to rollback EN20).

so far, I have stuck with Endnote21. I don’t believe there is any library update in 25 that would prevent going backwards yet. Just haven’t seen any reason to update.
