For the most part, I was very pleased with this product. However, it doesn't seem to recognize APA style citations and highlights all of mine as citation audits because it found the same sentences on the web somewhere.

Dear Theresa,
Thank you for this comment. It has been passed to our technical department. We are acknowledged about this feature and currently seeking ways to add it.
I write press releases in an AP style format. Would love to have that added feature here. Thanks! JC
The Harvard reference style also doesn't work. It would also be great if this could be added.
I agree David, the Open University uses this style of referencing, which thousands of us use, please please please add it,x
I can't seem to get it to even check my citations.
Dear users,
Grammarly marks any referenced text as potential plagiarism. Our Citation Audit cards suggest reference snippets in APA 6th edition.
Is it possible then, to extend Grammaly to suggest other reference styles e.g. Harvard?
It is deleting my footnote citations(number markers within text), is there any way of preventing this?
Dear Carrie,
Grammarly makes your text plain. All the formatting is lost except for the paragraphs. We are aware that this causes inconveniences but this is an integral part of the analysis process.
I do not see this to be a problem for anyone else, so I may be missing an obvious step... I run the report and it shows a citation audit and gives the source, which is awesome. Then I create a PDF and it notes the sources at top of report, but does not seem the highlight the areas that need to be sited, nor does it give the MLA/APA solution. Am I missing a step to get these in the PDF report?
I have previously used plagiarisma.net and like your interface much better. However, on theirs it offers the number of websites a citation may be sourced from, as opposed to only one. Also, it gives the list of urls the citation can come from, as opposed to only one. Is there a reason for this?
