I loved how easily the formatting was
February 4, 2026

I loved how easily the formatting was. I only give 4 stars because i think there could be improvement on the AI generated text. I did not use it as the answers were missing something.

It's been great, but misleading
February 3, 2026

It's been great, but misleading. You advertise that your service is free, then I have to pay at the end. It's okay, but I wish you had been upfront. Please don't come back in a few days and charge my card another amount. I chose the $2.95, so please leave it at that. Thank you!

Each prompt filled in by your inputs. Then supporting bullets automatically written for you. I was surprised and disappointed when a small charge was requested.

Why does it say free resume template, then have you go through everything just to find out that it is not free. Don't advertise something as free when it really isn't!

I expected this to be free, I finish the CV and have to pay. The website didn't state that in the beginning so it's either I waste all my time creating the CV to toss away, or I spend money to have what I used all my time creating.

Rated 0 Stars if I could
February 1, 2026

Rated 0 Stars if I could. Said it was free template to use. Once completed it wanted $3. After spending so much energy I just paid it. I had to walk to the community library to wait 30 mins to use the computer and was about out of my time limit before having to wait all over again. So today you got me because I'm on a time crunch.
