[Libs-Or] Citing from iPhone apps?

[Candise Branum]

Using the [iPhone application] modification seems to be the general
consensus - I've emailed the APA Style Experts, so I'll let you all know
if they say anything contrary to that. Thanks for the advice!

Subject: [Libs-Or] Citing from iPhone apps?

 

Does anyone have any experience citing in APA for an iPhone app? I have
a student who has the Merck Manual iPhone app - I am assuming that it
would be cited as if it were computer software (4.16.92 in the APA 5th
ed.). But should it still say [Computer software] in the citation, or
would we adapt this to say [iPhone application]? I guess it is
technically a computer, but just not sure... Any ideas?
