AUTOMATIC FORMATTING
Essayist formats everything for you. Upon starting a new essay it sets up the title section/page, margins, font, line spacing, alignment, page headers/footers, etc. It formats your references, in-text citations, footnotes/endnotes, figures, tables, table of contents and more.

UNIVERSAL REFERENCE MANAGER
Store and manager references in a universal reference manager backed by iCloud. Search for, add, and store references in one place and use references across multiple essays. Create separate collections (folders) within the reference manager to organize and manage references. Add references quickly and easily using Google Scholar, Essayist’s built-in search, by pasting a URL or manual entry forms. Once added, references are automatically formatted and added to your essay’s references/works cited list.

Editors’ Notes

The simplest way to compose an A+ essay. Choose your citation style and the app will format your work to match. Then use the built-in source manager to look up – and properly cite – your references.

Bob001p ,

It’s just too expensive.

Nice app - if it wasn’t so expensive I’d use it

Developer Response ,

Hello, I'm sorry that you find the price of Essayist too expensive. We are a small, two-person team working hard to make Essayist the best app it can be while also keeping the price as low as possible. We feel that at $29.99 USD per year (~$2.50 USD per month) is a fair price. If you haven't done so, I encourage you to take advantage of our free trial. Kind regards, Erin.
