New to Mac; hate PERRLA, tried this
Jdnwebster
I bought this today because I just switch from PC to a Mac and I hate PERRLA on the Mac. I still wanted an easy access to all my references since I use many of them frequently in school. Made one reference and immediately noticed 2 mistakes on the reference list. For me, this makes it useless. Will try again to see if it is maybe something that I need to tweak but I really don’t see how. Idea is a good one and I hope to see some improvements with ease of use and correct APA formatting.
Love this app
OBRes89
Very organized app. Love how I can create multiple groups for different papers and projects I am working on. My only feedback would be: add the option of publication look up and import into a specific group/project. Currently, I look up the publication --> import --> it gets added to all references. It would be AWESOME if it can be added to a specific group. Overall, this app is great for researchers/ college students/etc.
A most useful app
Keifer E.
As a college student, I’ve had experience with almost every bibliography keeper, reference tracker, and source wrangler that there is. The simple user interface, built in formating for fonts, and multiple citation styles make this app the most pleasant to use of any that I’ve tried. I’ll be making the switch from EasyBib immediately, and will be using Reference Tracker for all of my papers and projects from now on. Keep up the great work!
Total waste of money
EABooks
I really wish I could get my money back. I need a place to easily store references and this looked like it could be the one. I couldn’t even get a single reference created let alone organized
