User Reviews

Users praise the app's clean interface and automation for building citations and its data-capture via ISBN/DOI, but multiple reviews flag serious export/copy problems, poor interoperability with external tools, subscription/billing headaches, and limited support, which undermine overall usefulness.

Pros

Elegant, user-friendly interface that makes building bibliographies easy.
Automates many steps of citation creation, saving time.
On-the-go utility for citation work with convenient access across devices.
Pulls in bibliographic data effectively via ISBN/DOI search.

Cons

Copying and exporting citations is unreliable or broken (copy-to-clipboard, Word/PDF/RIS/email formats).
Interoperability and integration with other tools are limited (no Scrivener compatibility; difficult data export/share across apps or devices).
Subscription and billing frustrations (double charges after downgrades, refunds concerns).
Limited or hard-to-reach customer support (difficult to contact, support links misleading).

Recent reviews

I bought this as an elegant, and efficient means to build bibliographies. It really does have a nice interface and automates a lot of the drudgery of building references. I've run into difficulties with exporting, however, and the link to the designer's page/tech support just goes to a landing page that points back to the app store. So, it's not compatible with Scrivener, I can't realley get my data out of CIN in any usual form, and I paid for lifetime access to the thing.

This app does cite the articles correctly, but it is impossible to copy and paste the cites. When you email them, they are scrambled. They do not have many options of sources to cite and it does not even put the sources in order. Extremely disappointed and a waste of money!

This app did not work for me while we were trying to cite some books for my daughters 3rd grade project. Not sure why? We had proper ISBN number, title, author, etc. Probably had to pay more for it to work.
