Totally unreliable

Even on a simple entry, this app does not follow APA conventions. It gives the authors full first name, rather than initial, doesnt allow for which edition, and does not indent. Other free citation engines, though still not totally reliable, are much closer -- and dont cost $2.99!

Good effort

Great start but is it possible to add multiple authors? Maybe I missed it. Also, how about a journals area? Hope to see these in the future. Good start tho ESP for the price.

Shouldve been better

This was SO disappointing. Very limited this has four types of references to generate. This was a good idea but as is, this is crap.

iPad ap needed!

I made the mistake of buying the ap without looking too close. Sine I am working on papers on my iPad, I really need to have an iPad version. The ap looks like it could be good but I am not going to mess around with the iPhone version and it annoys me to have the low pixel quality on my iPad. Are their plans in the works for this?

No good

App isnt loading on my phone. Want a refund. If I could opt out of giving a star I would.

Very Limited

Ok, you cannot add more than one author per book and it does not italicize the book titles, you have to do that yourself. Use Son of Citation Machine for free on the web instead.

Dont bother

For all of us college students that need to write in APA format, buying this app will only complicate the writing process. Stick with PERRLA until pages comes up with a similar template.
