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.

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.

Love it, but it's not perfect.

My spellcheck, auto capitalization, and grammer check just stopped working this week. Doesn't matter what I do i still have to export to word regradless to make sure my grammar is correct. I have to do this anyway for school, but it's annoying. I love this app because I hate messing with word and setting up APA format, overall, great resource and I can't go without it. Just would love to know how to fix these issues.

AlyssaRP ,

Amazing app. Excited to see where it will go!

Tried this app on a whim for my first year of college essay-writing. While I was first unsure due to the price, the free trial definitely converted me. I wrote an essay for class on the free trial and it was so nice to not have to worry *as* much about my formatting. The price is right around what I would pay for an app like this and so I now have the yearkly subscription. I have my background in Essayist set to the blue/purple mountain scene and I find the colour helps me stay much more into my writing. Devs please keep developing this app and giving it your love! It is great already but it has so much more potential!
