Mac App Review: Reference Tracker (v1.6.1)

*HELLO* - In this weeks Mac App Review, I review an application called Reference Tracker. Reference Tracker is an indispensable tool for writers, researchers or students. It creates documents that store all the citations and references in an essay, research project or book. It automatically creates Harvard, APA, MLA or Chicago/Turabian formatted reference lists to insert into your writing when needed.

Developer of Reference Tracker: Jim McGowan

we know what references are you don't need 2 minutes of fluff

[DRBUK]

@SecretAsianMan7 lol just because you know what references are it doesn't mean everyone else does, my audience is not just comprised of people who are at college or university, i have a diverse audience in terms of age groupings, so be a bit considerate to those, thanks

[SecretAsianMan7]

@DRBUK All those who have any use for the software is currently in or will have passed through university - therefore they will have encountered academic papers and will have needed to use references.

Furthermore, I think unnecessary time is spent reading information on the screen - such as the two different types each of Harvard, APA, MLA, Chicago. I appreciate your videos but I often find myself having to skip ahead to the relevant information

[DRBUK]

@SecretAsianMan7 lol you cant assume that, ive had 10 people email me saying what is reference tracker, what do you mean by references and should i buy this before i go to university ? lol so please again think of others, and ye perhaps i didn't need to read through all of those types of referencing, and ye thats cool, you can forward it if you dont want to watch it, thats no problem !

That is sick! I used to use easybib but sometimes it looks glitchy - this looks awesome! I love adding reference from current safari page! Awesome! Thanks for the review - Don't listen to the haters who don't like your long videos!

[swingking338]
