★★★★★ "It does work. The benefit definitely delivers as promised, but the features are extremely short lived. You must pay to use the cool stuff more than once. Free formatting is not a big selling point, anyone can do that on their own." - Drof666

terrible service
paid $24.00 and is asking me to pay it again to use pro version. doesnt allow me to add more than one job.
DO NOT BUY
There is no manual or email support. The app is just a template. You can’t even delete a file and start from scratch. You have to retype everything section by section. Also there is no spell check or even a way to condense everything using AI. This template maker is misleading.
Not User Friendly!!!!
Not user friendly. I uploaded a picture but it not attached to my resume.
Awful
Can't adjust headings. Worthless
Only buy if you've never written a resume
Dont waste your money. You can get the same thing using a template in Word or Pages.
Product is very rigid and unsuitable for anyone with an existing resume they want to upload and adjust for a new role.

The worst I've used so far
Once you start building you can't get out of that template. Even after you save/download current project. There is no way to get out of it and back to any kind of menu to start another version. You sign up for "pro", they charge you and all you get is an AI review of what you just did. I'm so frustrated right now. I spent so much time inputting information just to not be able to access it beyon ONE resume.
A resume app with a subscription model?
A resume app that has a subscription and all the templates are locked? There is nothing for you to try. You're immediately prompted to subscribe. Seriously? A resume app with a subscription model? They have a word for this and it's not kind.
What an insidiously deceptive app
I downloaded this because, well, I needed to make a new resume after losing my job. Didn't need much, basically just a template and the ability to add my information.
Since I didn't pay, I didn't use any of the premium features but I used Grok (Twitter's AI) to help me come up with some of my bullet points.
Once I had inputted hours worth of work and saved a draft, I finally completed it only to find out that YOU CAN ONLY SAVE YOUR RESUME ONE TIME before the app locks any more saves behind a paywall. I never would have downloaded this if I knew, just use one of the countless other free apps on the store.

Is not worth it
I can’t even rate it. Am sorry am really being honest
TERRIBLE
The worse. Does'nt work
Makes an Ugly Resume and is Too Rigid
It won't allow you to do simple things like pick accent colors, or show promotions or aquisitions. If you don't use the details field, instead of removing it it puts •Details then a big blank space on your resume.
CV Engenieer
Was not user friendly at all, could not upload photo or start a new cv without difficulty. Also say there is the help of AI but you don’t really see the benefits
limited career section
Only useful if you have less than 7 jobs. I can't add more than 7 in the career section leaving my resume uncompleted for the past 4 years. Not worth $5.99/month
It does work
The benefit definitely delivers as promised, but the features are extremely short lived. You must pay to use the cool stuff more than once. Free formatting is not a big selling point, anyone can do that on their own.
