Zotero

Zotero is a powerful tool that will help you keep track of sources as you find them in databases. When you are ready to create your References page, the tool will generate citations in APA format for you. Caveat: in some cases there may be small errors in the citation, mostly related to capitalization of titles. Once you have embedded the list in your paper, you may need to edit some of the entries.
