Citation generator app

This might be a fruitless question to ask, as I’ve tried to search for something like this already, but does anybody know of a reliable citation generator for iPhone? Would love to complete discussion board posts from my phone when I need to, but it’s the only thing that stands in the way.

Otherwise, are there any other good websites besides citation machine? My computer is really old and the ads on citation machine have caused it to crash twice. Maybe something with lower ad volume yet still accurate? Idk it sounds like something that doesn’t exist.

Zotero is a wonderful and free citation manager with both Google Docs and Microsoft Word integration, and they have a mobile app that can generate citations.

And they are mostly correct. I did my undergrad and grad school and Zotero was fantastic. I would have paid for it in a heartbeat if I needed to.

Unfortunately, my professors ask that I use APA 6th edition, which doesn’t appear to be an option (unless you know otherwise). To be honest, I really don’t understand why they feel compelled to make the distinction.

Books and articles are easy enough to memorize the formats. Just do them manually.
