User reviews

IF WORK SMARTER NOT HARDER WAS A THING!!!! AMAZING APP ALL THE NEGATIVE REVIEWS DON'T KNOW I PROMISE IT MAKES IT EASIER FOR YOU!! IT IS A LIFE SAVER WHEN IT COMES TO CITING. YOU DON'T HAVE TO DO ALL THE STEPS IN CITING THIS DOES IT FOR YOU. ITS VERY USEFUL IF YOU'RE IN COLLEGE OR WRITTING A REPORT.

Evelyn Ramirez, 2025-03-04

The citations are rarely ever correct, even when attempting to cite from official documents on government websites which should be easily identifiable. It used to be reasonably reliable when citing articles from well-known publications like NYT or HRW but it has become completely useless at this point. Today I tried to use this plugin on more than a half dozen articles and it did not identify an author correctly on a single one of them. Uninstalling.
