Helpful, but much room for improvement

I purchased this tool to help my husband update his resume and had high hopes based on its promise of AI-powered ease and speed. While there are some genuinely helpful features, the experience has been mixed.

First, the hiccups:

I ran into a 403 error when trying to activate my account. An issue on their end, not AppSumo’s. To their credit, email support was incredibly fast and helpful.

Once that was resolved, I found the registration process a little misleading. It offers to let you register with a different email than the one used for purchase, but it actually doesn’t work unless you use the same email tied to your AppSumo account.

After registering, there’s no way to update your name, email, or even change your password in the account settings.

Uploading an existing resume didn’t work as expected; it failed to pull in any of the job history or skills, so I had to re-enter everything manually.

The “Report” feature has promise, but it’s not quite there yet. As another reviewer mentioned, it flags issues, offers AI-generated edits, and then proceeds to critique the copy it just suggested (e.g., calling out its own buzzwords or filler phrases). Worse, it sometimes invents accomplishments (“increased efficiency by 30%”) without context. You can manually tweak the AI output, but you can’t ask it for a new version or give it direction.

That said, there are things I liked. The templates are well-designed, and the feedback from the Report feature was genuinely useful. It gave me a solid starting point, even if we ended up using my best judgement or a different AI tool to refine the language.

I’m not planning to return it. For the price I paid, I think it’s worth keeping, and I see potential here if the developers continue improving the interface and AI behavior. But right now, it still feels like a work in progress.
