App Review



The app I chose to review is  http://www.perrla.com/  I use it on my PC but you can also download the app Perrla for APA on Google play. The app on my phone was not working at the time of this review. 

I have mentioned in my previous blogs, I like to use apps that I will utilize. I was referred to this app by another classmate. I love it! This app is a step by step process to citing your papers in APA format. It is simple and effective.  

Perrla which stands for (Pupils are Equal, Round, and Reactive to Light and Accommodation) supposedly means normal, was created by Gary McGuire in 1998.  A self taught computer programmer created the app due to his wife struggling to format her college papers. 





Perrla APA starts at $39.95 for 12 months

  •  PERRLA is 100% APA (6th and 5th Editions) compliant  so you can relax and focus on writing your paper, not  formatting it 
  •  PERRLA does the work for you:
  •  PERRLA for APA automatically integrates with Microsoft  Word
  •  Automatically creates an APA title page and, optionally,  an abstract
