Melissa Stump (ID: 00000073d988eee3) Voted 2 ★ - Updated 06/06/2024 So, I am editing my first review as I have been noticing a lot more lately on the extension that it is not pulling the correct information from the page. If I could only download the screen shot to show what I mean. Many times, it will not pull the author's name. If it does, it may not pull all of them. Or it will not pull the correct source or cite a random one like Facebook. I eventually have to go to the website and add it through there to make sure the information is in correctly. It's frustrating enough that I am about to delete the extension. This tool has been great so far. I wish I had it sooner in my learning experience. Thank you for having it now. Better now than never!!!

Carrick oliver (ID: 000000ccd37bf27e) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 05/26/2024 Wish I discovered this before my last three reports of final year, as this would have been super useful for both 1st and 2nd year of uni, but this is a MUST have for any uni student needing to reference lots!!!

ilma ilyas (ID: 0000005001cd3472) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 05/21/2024 This is the best thing I came across during my final year at the uni. Honestly nothing was as annoying as citing and referencing and this extension was a game changer!
