User reviews
Having an option for ABNT and other formats, or create i directly from the website, or some way of creating and sharing presets to it would be cool.
It deletes all information entered if you click away from it so can't copy and paste information into it
If the name of the author is so far away from the name of the date or any other information that you need to scroll then this is useless because whenever you do anything on your computer outside the app, even on another screen, it deletes everything you have entered.
