Summary: Works, but barely
Comment: This software does work better than most reviewers have let on, but it is a complete waste of time. As a time-saver, this software is a complete failure. I regret every single cent that I wasted.
The software does work; it will help you format your paper in APA style after you work out the complicated issues involved in making it integrate with your word processor (a process which makes even the most experienced computer user want to cuss). Even harder than the impossible task of making it integrate with your word processor is getting it to know what you want it to do. Luckily I have the Publication Manual (which I love, see my 5-star review), so I could double check the helper's output: it screwed up on more than one occasion. After all the time that I wasted, I decided that this software is a complete joke. The APA did not put the effort into this that they put into their Publication Manual.
DO NOT buy this software. DO buy the Publication Manual (ISBN: 1557987912)

Summary: Buy the APA Publication Manual Instead!!!!!
Comment: Like everybody else says, this software is a waste of money! If you can only buy the APA publication manual or the software, then buy the manual. I had the 3rd edition of the manual from years ago and needed to write a paper for a class. Some classmates told me to download the APA manual instead of buying the manual. Well, I don't know what planet they're from, but unless you already have a clue about APA style, you're still going to need the reference book. Since this is a software product I didn't think to review Amazon reviews first. If I had, and I soooo wish I had, then I'd have the APA Manual, in book form in my hand right now and I'd be $10.00 richer. Argh!!!

Summary: TOTAL waste of money! It earns "Zero Stars" w/ determination
Comment: I can only reiterate what everyone else has wrote, but if any potential buyer has any doubts about whether to purchase this program, let me put you at ease: don't. Maybe if you got it for free it might not seem like a complete waste of time and energy, but even then I'm not so sure.
Very disappointing material coming from an organization as substantial as the APA! They should be ashamed of themselves.
