Top comment
I'm a student studying creative writing at Uni and as much as I love writing, managing references and citations in essays has always been a task that I dread having to approach. I previously used Word with a plugin, which was difficult to set up, and clunky to use; I spent more time managing references than actually writing the essay itself. Over two years, I have taught myself Swift and this is my first app. I made EssayKraft with one goal in mind: to let writers write, and leave reference management to the app. I'd love to hear your feedback, whether it's about the app itself, the design, or features you'd like to see next. Thanks for checking it out!
