Citations

Citations 1.3 is a major update to the app. Here’s what’s new. - App Intents support. You can now create citations using the Shortcuts app or Siri AI in iOS 27. These shortcuts are also available in Spotlight for easy access. The Generate Citation App Intent exposes the full functionality of the app programmatically. - Added a Copy button to the iOS and iPadOS app, replacing the tap-and-hold gesture to copy a citation. You can also now copy your citation with a keyboard shortcut: Shift-Command-C. - You no longer must enter author names that will be truncated with “et al.” when using MLA or Harvard. Explanatory text in the forms explains this. You can still fill them in if you plan on switching formats. - The app will now force English dates in citations for users with devices not set to English. - The app handles month abbreviations more accurately for users with devices set to non-Gregorian calendars. - Added keyboard shortcuts to add and remove authors (Command-Plus and Command-Minus) and toggle the publication date field (Command-D). You can now create a citation with just your keyboard. - Dropped iOS 18 support; the minimum version is iOS 26. - Reduced the size of the app. This update also fixes numerous bugs: - Formats that abbreviate months now don’t place a period after “May.” - The abbreviation for September (“Sep.” and “Sept.”) is now correct when using IEEE or MLA. - The app won’t add a period to input that already ends with a period. - New windows on iPadOS now correctly obey your selected theme. - If your input only contains whitespace, the app won’t let you create a citation. - The Clear button is now disabled when a citation is displayed. - The copyright date footer in the About Citations screen is now localized. - Cleaned up the Welcome to Citations, privacy policy, and About Citations screens for better Dynamic Type support. - The app closes the Finished Citation screen when switching formats to prevent errors.
