Essayist allows you to write APA, MLA, Chicago & Harvard Style essays with ease. From in-text citations and footnotes to references and page setup, Essayist takes care of everything. It greatly simplifies the academic writing process.

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.

CITATIONS (IN-TEXT CITATIONS, FOOTNOTES, ENDNOTES)
Add in-text citations and footnotes/endnotes with ease. Simply tap the insert citation button and select the reference you wish to cite. An in-text citation/footnote/endnote is automatically created for you

CITATION STYLES
