Zoreto is a game changer for people like me who need to do a lot of citations and different writing assignments going toward getting my masters degree. My degree requires a lot of research type assignments, and there’s always multiple citations needed. When I downloaded Zoreto, I had no idea how beneficial it would be to me and the work that I do. If you are sitting there thinking, “Do I need Zoreto? I know I do a lot of citations for my bibliographies that I work on in school and work, but how beneficial could it be? How helpful could it be?” Well, I’m here to tell you that it is incredible. It’s so easy to use, and incredibly user friendly when trying to navigate it. I would definitely recommend it to anyone, download it, you will not regret it!!
