I would be lost writing references in APA format without PERRLA. I can also click on a previous reference and add it to my next paper. It has saved me so much time. The spacing on title pages, the placement of headers, things like that that I would perseverate over if I had to do it myself.

I first started using PERRLA back in 2013...I was an educator going back to school to get my Master's degree. Writing papers again – it had been years since I had done it. Using [PERRLA] it saved hours and hours and hours of time! As grad work, I had papers with 20 and 30 references, the ability to open Word and PERRLA has all your margins set, easy way to upload your references, add them to your bibliography. Insanely easy!...Use PERRLA, it's a 100% worth it!...It will literally save you hours and hours of time! If it was a $500 service, I'd still pay for it.

Hi. My name is Dave and I highly recommend PERRLA. I used it all the way through grad school and it saved me countless hours on citations and bibliography and formatting. It handles all those things so seamlessly. It allowed me to just focus on writing and the content and, really, the important stuff I was working on learning.

I am a student, old student, who purchased PERRLA for help with my APA..it was pretty incredible & made it to where I could focus on doing my paper instead of worrying about the APA format...I think if you want to make a wise decision, and money well spent that, for the APA format at least, PERRLA was exceptional.

Hey. My name's Elizabeth Louis and excuse my mess in the background. As you can see, I'm an avid reader. I actually have two graduate degrees, and I'm a two-time published author, and I can't speak highly enough about PERRLA. I actually tell all of my clients, I tell all of my fellow students about the power of PERRLA. I actually found PERRLA in 2016. My professor, when I got my first graduate degree, encouraged it, and it's a game-changer. You save so much time with PERRLA. I'm so grateful for it. I actually wrote both my books through PERRLA as well because I needed to use citations. I cannot encourage PERRLA enough. It will drastically be a game-changer for you. It will collapse time. It will save time and I love the library feature. I love writing, it's what I do for a living, and I can tell you that having that aggregation of the library always grow has been such a time-saver because, let's say I used a source that I used five years ago or three years ago or six months ago, it's still there. I don't have to do the work twice. I mean, this is about working smart and this is what PERRLA allows you to do because you optimize time, you save time by only have to do it once, AND, they have this feature where you put in the link or you can put in the ISBN number and it's like BING, there it is. It's magical. It's amazing. You cannot afford not to have this software if you are a grad student or an undergrad student. If you're in Psychology, if you're in History, you have to have this software. It will change your life. And, plus, you won't get points taken off for the formatting to be wrong. That's awesome. I've gone through two graduate degrees. I'm finishing my second one and I have a 4.0. In my first one, I graduated with a 4.0. In my second degree, I have a 4.0 right now and I am actually constantly being asked to be in the writing workshop rooms to help people write to my degree and format to my degree because I'm always doing it correctly. I do it through PERRLA like, I've never set up on my own paper. I use PERRLA and it's awesome. so, go get it. It's amazing. I've rambled enough. I hope you get it. I cannot speak highly enough about PERRLA. It's really amazing. It's a game-changer and I hope you get the software because it's awesome. Have a good one.

My name's Elizabeth and I'm a doctoral student and university instructor. PERRLA is essential to my workflow as both a student and a teacher. I'm always writing papers and homework assignments or scholarly literature for publication. PERRLA helps me do all of it, so I can format and cite my work accurately and efficiently. Here are some of my favorite features: PERRLA can find almost any scholarly article from any database with just its DOI or Author & Title.

It formats references and citations effortlessly and instantly, adding them to my documents and saving me a lot of time. It allows me to keep my focus and time where it belongs... on my writing quality. PERRLA saves every reference I've ever used in my personal reference library. That's really helpful because I can reuse those references in subsequent work with a single click of the mouse.

If you're writing a monster paper like a dissertation or a thirty-page literature review, having immediate access to all those references in a massive convenience. I have more than 400 unique items in my reference library, and I add more every day, but PERRLA never slows down, loses my references, or fails to deliver them when I search my library.

PERRLA is great at finding and formatting references and citations, but another of its features is that it actually formats the paper itself. So, I don't have to fuss with time-consuming finicky formatting of running heads, title pages, abstracts, tables of contents, and heading styles. You tell PERRLA the title of your paper and its due date, click the mouse, and there's a perfectly formatted template, ready for you to write.

This is the real blessing of PERRLA, and I say this as a student and a teacher, it takes care of the tedious minutia associated with conformance to the APA or MLA style guide and allows you to focus on your writing. As a teacher, I'd far rather have my students spend their time on writing quality than measuring margins and tabs and remembering what parts of a reference are italicized or capitalized.

An added benefit is that the more papers you write with PERRLA, the more you learn what a correctly formatted paper and reference should look like. So, your referencing skills will actually improve, even though formatting is handled by PERRLA...

Considering the amount of time and hassle it saves, it's one of the best bargains around - whether you're just getting started on your Associates degree or you're slogging through your PhD. Thanks for listening and happy writing. I hope you get an "A" on every assignment.

Hey. My name is Emma Broussard and I'm a nurse practitioner in central Texas. I recommend PERRLA for all things university... grad school, undergrad. PERRLA was a game-changer when I was finishing nurse practitioner's school. I was never dinged for assignments that were missing citations or were incorrect. It's just a little bit of money and will make a huge difference. It really attributed to my quality of life during school because I was able to focus less on the nuances and more on the content. Thanks a lot.

PERRLA has been instrumental in my success in undergraduate and now graduate school. I appreciate the ease of use as compared with other citation manager applications. I was able to begin writing quickly and easily with PERRLA. It is a powerful tool for managing references, formatting papers and discussion posts, and even for pre-writing work such as outlines. I can write confidently with PERRLA. Adding to their appeal, their customer service is second to none. You won't regret purchasing this product.

Hi. My name is James Wilbers. I live in the state of Kentucky. What has PERRLA done for us? Well, after having 5 children, my wife went back to university and got her Bachelor’s degree, Master's degree, and Doctorate in Nursing... all with the assistance of PERRLA. PERRLA was great at storing all of the research that she accumulated through the years and was available to her every time she researched, completed papers, did class assignments... it was all there. PERRLA took the programs that were already in Microsoft Word and made them a lot better. Thank you PERRLA.

Hello. My name is Jennifer Lewis and I am a PhD student in the Higher Education Administration with a focus on student affairs program here at the University of Southern Mississippi. Today, I'm here to talk to you about PERRLA. As a PhD student who is also a full-time employee, I often wonder how I'm going to get done everything I need to do and how I'm going to make sure that everything is correct. Well, I don't have to wonder anymore because I have PERRLA. PERRLA has helped me to get organized. PERRLA has streamlined my process. PERRLA has given me confidence in the output. Today, I'm here to share with you why, among many things, you should get PERRLA. When I am trying to sit down and do something, I have a limited amount of time to do so... not just research, but to get my thoughts together, and rearrange things... not only in my mind but on paper. So, having something that streamlines the process and supports my organization overall is super-helpful. It allows me to do so much more in the amount of time I have available... PERRLA gives me that time, and it gives me confidence in my output, my product, in a quality document that's going to have everything done as needs be so that it is presentable to my committee. And, ultimately, what more can we strive for than to produce a quality product that we're proud to put our name to. With PERRLA, you can achieve that. If you have any doubts about purchasing PERRLA, lay those to rest. PERRLA is an investment... investment in you, investment in your future... an investment in peace of mind. Thank you for giving me this opportunity to talk a little bit about this product that's been so beneficial to me personally and professionally.
