Reviews: What People Think About Essayist: Academic Writing App
If`m
Rating: 5/5
I used this app for nearly my entire degree program. This tool was invaluable. The citation manager helped me to easily re-use citations across assignments and classes. Each new assignment, I could look through my past bibliography and drag and drop sources to inform my thesis. This is how I began every assignment. I always got positive feedback from my instructors for my formatting and citations, which were of course greatly aided by Essayist.
I only have two nitpicks. First, the only way to insert a table is to do so as an image. I would create the table in Word or something, take a screenshot, and then insert it as a picture. This is workable, but I would have liked to see a proper table tool. Second, I wish I could have switched from an annual plan to a month to month plan mid-term. I graduated several months earlier than expected, so I still have several months of Essayist left.
Excellent app overall. The iPhone app is also excellent. I wrote, exported, and submitted an entire APA formatted and cited paper from my phone for one of my GenEds once. It got an A!

I've been using Essayist for years as for a while I only had an iPad as my main driver yet had to write papers for school and this was the only applicaiton that allowed me to do so on the iPad while not only maintaining all APA formatting requirements but making it even easier to cite articles with it's Google Scholar search function.
I've also had a couple of times where i'd reach out to their customer support and they were prompt in responding with answers or even potential updates and timing. I highly recommend this app to every student at every level as I used it through my MBA and i'm not using it to complete a doctorate.

This is an excellent app all things considered. I wish it was around when I was in college. It would be perfect in my mind but for one thing…..exporting. There is an export feature - and it exports, it just does so without carrying over any of the formatting.
You can fix it in one of two ways. Get rid of the feature, and do not claim that essayist can export to word or docs with formatting, or make it work. This is an app that costs money. The export feature as it currently functions might as well not be there at all.
If you do not need to export, if you are happy to simply do the entire project on essayist it is perfect. Problem is most professors are not using is, so yes…fix the export feature please. It does hurt the value of the product in my mind.
