Latest reviews of iSource APA app for iPhone and iPad
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!
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.
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.
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?
App isnt loading on my phone. Want a refund. If I could opt out of giving a star I would.
