Pros and cons of RefME - Referencing Made Easy app for iPhone and iPad

RefME - Referencing Made Easy app good for

This has made my secondary and post-secondary essays so much easier to cite, thank you RefMe!
Very good at storing any book you come across with a barcode... very helpful for making bibliographies in university... highly recommend this app
I am amazed at the ease of this app. I often listen to audible books so I dont have access to the reference info that I need. A quick stop by my local library and I have everything I need. It stores the references by title to be retrieved later.
I cant tell you guys how nice it is to be able to store all my references in one place. This app allows me to keep multiple class projects on here and you can type notes along with page numbers under each reference. Only thing I have trouble with is looking up articles or books, sometimes it wont pull them up.
Orders, stores, and inserts citations so easily. Great app to make it easy to record information with single click. Real timesaver!
Extremely easy to use- very intuitive. The bar code scanning feature is very nice and I like being able to find whatever reference material I am using at the time. The premium version is a bit pricey, but if you are doing a lot of research requiring annotation it would be well worth the money. The basic version is free so I would recommend that you give a try.

Some bad moments

You cannot choose anything but "Harvard" style, whatever that is.
The log in thing does not work i cannot register. that is so sad, it always says ‚oops there is a problem‘ and i can’t register :(
Used this when I taught academic writing to international students to show them how modern resources can make citing and referencing less intimidating. Later used it to keep track of source while putting together my Masters thesis. Worked like a charm.
Thank you so much. This app saved me a lot of time. I am awful at formatting in MLA. Very helpful
All of my classmates hail EasyBib as this all-powerful referencing website. But RefME is so much better! RefME has more styles to cite from and rarely messes up. I can reference whole essays where my friends who think easybib is great have to go back and fix their errors in the bibliography. Give RefME a try, you will not regret it!!
I wish I knew had known about this app when I started my grad school
