### 5/5 — Wish there was a secondary resource plug in

*2019-01-17*

Other than the title, this little app is a gold mine for anyone studying or writing needing these specific platforms. Takes away almost all of the headache when citing. Thanks for making this.

### 4/5 — Okay...some formatting issues.

*2018-01-13*

I use the app quite often in my masters degree studies. After filling out the form full of details the app does not use italics for the journal title or volume number. Also, it capitalizes the first letter of each word in the title. APA should only capitalize the first word and the other remain lowercased. It would also be nice to save citations into an alphabetized reference page. This app is a time saver.

### 3/5 — Format errors

*2017-02-05*

Cred lost. Titles in APA are not title case. Instead, only proper nouns, the first word and the first after a colon in an article title are capitalized. Does not italicize journal names.

### 1/5 — Junk

*2016-01-09*

APA is incorrect.  Waste of money.

### 1/5 — Does not save my references

*2015-09-30*

Don't pay for this and just download the lite version. This won't save or show any of my past references, meaning I have to re-enter my references every time, which is a total waste of time. Seems like a big hasn't been worked out yet. I want my money back.

### 1/5 — Disappointed

*2015-03-31*

Bought this as I got excited when it said you could save the references: perfect I thought!   Unfortunately, I didnt check to see if you could scan books in.   My mistake but still disappointed as I don't have time to type my whole reference library in ...   Also only 5 authors allowed?   textbooks & apa ref system  I would take it up to at least 6: with 6 or more authors you can use first author & et al.   This would be 5 stars if I had time to use it, as it is I have just wasted my money.

### 3/5 — Great idea BUT has a few glitches

*2015-03-20*

Not the worst way to spend $3, but disappointing as I was really excited about the idea of not having to use the internet or a laptop for reference citation in the APA style. The "book" reference only works with authors, no editors (which there's a rule about this but it would be great if the App gave a reminder as to why or how to use editors when there are no authors listed). Also, it requires that the "page number" box is completed but often the keyboard won't drop down so that the page number box can be accessed--and this isn't just an error on my part as it randomly decides to allow me to access the "page number". Once these glitches are repaired, the rating could be five stars as it's nice to have the app rather than a 5 lb book to lug around (or a laptop).

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2015-02-09*

App won't stay open. Can't even try it. Wasted money

### 1/5 — APA Citation Generator

*2014-08-12*

This is not consistent with the text book I have for University in Australia. Lots of punctuation is missing.

### 5/5 — Awesome

*2014-07-13*

This is exactly what I needed. This app has saved  me so much time. Writing a paper in APA format is now so much less stressful. The citation and reference generators make writing the paper so much easier. I recommend this app to all.
