Essayist for Mac

What it does

Essayist is a universal app for Mac and iOS. It enables students to write APA & MLA Style papers. It takes care of all the formatting, from page set-up (font, font size, line spacing, alignment, page numbering, title, etc.) to in-text citations & references.

Write. Cite. Manager References. All in one app. Supports APA, Chicago/Turabian, Harvard & MLA.

I've been using Essayist for years as for a while I only had an iPad as my main driver yet had to write papers for school and this was the only applicaiton that allowed me to do so on the iPad while not only maintaining all APA formatting requirements but making it even easier to cite articles with it's Google Scholar search function. I've also had a couple of times where i'd reach out to their customer support and they were prompt in responding with answers or even potential updates and timing. I highly recommend this app to every student at every level as I used it through my MBA and i'm now using it to complete a doctorate. I am so glad I found this app because it has come in very handy…from essayist.app
