Pro can help if you're stuck, Basic not worth it
Please see my original view of the "basic" subscription below. The company offered to let me try the "Pro" model and it is indeed better. The essay grading for both models is helpful to see specifically where the writing needs work, but beyond that any specific suggestions are a crapshoot and I would NOT make actual content edits based on its suggestions. It will also strongly try to remove any stylistic choices that show too much personality which in my opinion is antithetical to a personal essay (and when pointed out of course it backtracks). In general sure give the Pro version a try if you are really stuck but definitely get a few trusted HUMANS to read your essay and give personal feedback. Basic review: We signed up just hoping to use the essay checker for feedback before submitting EA/ED applications. The essay feature is terrible - it’s formatted in a way that SEEMS like it is tailored to college essays but the actual feedback is so much worse than any other readily available AI. For example it said we needed a more specific anecdote for our concluding paragraph and when we chose “apply suggestion” it just took an anecdote form the middle of the essay and repeated it in slightly different wording. Like NOT helpful but thanks??

Hi Mary, I'm very sorry to hear that you didn't find the app's essay feature useful, especially since it's one of users' favorites. Were you on the Starter or the Pro plan? I ask because this would never happen on Pro. We offer full refunds to any customer who didn't find the app useful within 7-days of purchase, but sometimes make exception regarding the duration (extending it) if our logs show that our agents truly failed you. Please reach out to [email protected], and we'll be happy to give you a full refund and complementary access to Pro for a month so that those early applications turn out truly exceptional!
