"APA 7th edition has so many rules, different heading levels, references, grammar. I had my content done but couldn't get the formatting right. Formatly handled all of it in one go. The headings, the references, everything."

PhD Student
"I was using a free citation generator and my references were all wrong. My professor flagged it immediately. Formatly caught errors I didn't even know existed — hanging indents, italicized journal names, the works."

Master's Student, University of Michigan
"I spent three hours trying to fix my running head and page numbers. Three hours. Formatly did it in seconds. I wish I'd found this before my junior year."
