This update includes significant changes to the way citations are formatted. Here’s what has changed: - The APA format has been significantly overhauled to conform to the APA 7 guidelines. Many citations will look different — this means the app is aligned with the latest style guidance from the American Psychological Association. - APA no longer truncates citations with more than three authors using “et al.” This is in keeping with the latest guidance. MLA now does, in accordance with MLA 9. - The IEEE format has been significantly overhauled. When a publish date is available, a news article citation will be created. When a publish date is unavailable, a generic website citation will be created instead with the date retrieved, which will be set to the current date. - When a publication date is not available, the Chicago and MLA formats will include the date retrieved, which will be set to the current date. This is in keeping with the latest guidance. The retrieval date has also been added to all versions of the Harvard format. The APA format does not have a date retrieved field. - The APA, IEEE, and Harvard formats now account for users mistakenly entering the author’s full first name as opposed to their first initial. They will always get the first initial, regardless of what is entered. It is now less likely that one will create an incorrect citation in these formats. As a reminder, if your citations look incorrect, be sure to fill out all available fields and deselect the ones you aren’t using. - All formats include numerous fixes, like author names not being included or missing/misplaced punctuation. They’re significantly more reliable and correct. These updates make Citations significantly more reliable for high school and college students completing bibliographies. If you notice any discrepancies, please let me know via the in-app support email. If you find Citations helpful for your work, please let me know by leaving a review with your thoughts. And if you need any help or have questions or concerns, please feel free to email me using the address in the app’s About menu. Thanks for using Citations!

In this update, Citations has been redesigned for iOS and iPadOS 26. The app fits in with others on your device and looks gorgeous, with design updates to every screen in the app. In addition, this update includes: - Support for the menu bar in iPadOS 26. - A new Liquid Glass app icon with support for all the new customization modes. Citations looks amazing on your Home Screen. - New keyboard shortcuts on iPadOS to select formats. - New keyboard shortcuts on iPadOS to clear and generate a citation. They’re also now listed in the menu bar. - State restoration across formats. This means that if you want to switch formats without losing the data you’ve already entered, you can. Previously, the app would clear the fields if you navigated to another format. - Full support for multi-window mode in iPadOS 26. - Major bug fixes and speed improvements, including a rewritten data model. This update took a lot of work to put together, so if you’re enjoying Citations, please feel free to leave a review. Thanks for using Citations!

- Added dark mode and tinted icons on iOS and iPadOS. - Changed the split view column visibility behavior on iPadOS. Now, both columns — sidebar and citation input — will appear in the portrait orientation by default. - Modified the symbols in the sidebar. - Dropped support for iOS 16. - Modified verbiage throughout the app.

- Added support for Apple Vision Pro. The app is specifically designed for visionOS; go try it out if you have one! - Changed quotes throughout the app from straight quotes to curly quotes for typographic accuracy. This includes quotes in citations; when you copy one, it’ll now use the correct smart quotes. - Redesigned the About screen with new contact details and links. - Fixed minor bugs and tweaked code for a better experience.

Hello, everyone! I’m sorry it’s been a while, but I’ve been busy making sure runs smoothly on Apple’s latest devices and operating systems. Here’s what’s new this time around: - Fixed a bug in iOS 17 that would make text entered in the MLA format view persist even after choosing a different format. - Fixed a bug in iOS 17 that would sometimes result in navigation titles not animating properly. Pretty minor update, but I’ve got tons more coming in the near future — keep your eyes peeled. As always, reviews really help out. If you’ve been enjoying Citations, please rate it! Thanks.

Fixes a really bad crash that would sometimes occur when a citation was created. Sorry about that, it should now be fixed! If you’re enjoying Citations, feel free to leave a review. It really helps!

This update fixes a crash that would sometimes occur when navigating to the formats field, and adds tooltips when you hover over some buttons on macOS.

In this update: - Fixed an issue where the welcome view on macOS would sometimes dismiss immediately after opening. - Added a keyboard shortcut to generate a citation on iPadOS and macOS. Shift + Command + C will allow you to quickly generate your citation, and the escape/enter keys will let you easily exit the sheet on macOS. You can also just press the first letter of the format you wnat to toggle between formats. For example, just type C for Chicago, A for APA, and H for Harvard. - Added a keyboard shortcut to show the clear confirmation dialog— Shift + Command + Delete. You won’t actually be able to use a keyboard shortcut to clear the fields and get past the alert due to the style of the button (it’s destructive, preventing any accidental keyboard shortcut presses as that would be very bad if it happened by accident). I recommend keeping your mouse cursor next to the clear button and just using keyboard shortcuts to navigate through the app. This, of course, works on both Mac and iPad. - Added a link to the feedback form directly in the help menu. - Made minor under-the-hood efficiency improvements and App Store changes. If you’re enjoying Citations, please rate it if you can to help support development. I'm working hard to make Citations feel more Mac-like in it's nature, and I think I've achieved that. As always, if you have any questions, comments, or other suggestions, feel free to send them through the feedback form inside the app. Thank you so much!
