### 1/5 — Incredibly frustrating

*2026-08-08, version 3.0.1*

Yes, the built-in AI tools can be helpful; but this app requires AI to rewrite and customize to pretty much every extent. You cannot change details of your final design like format very easily, like you have the ability to do when using a simple application like Docs. If you want to edit the design, you have to re-enter every detail into a new resume draft, imagine like creating a new project on Canva every time you insert a theme you don’t like.

### 5/5 — Sams Review

*2026-08-01, version 3.0.0*

July 2026

### 3/5 — Great Resume Builder, But Beware of the Double Subscription

*2026-08-01*

I really liked the resume builder itself. It was easy to use, the templates looked professional, and I was able to create a great resume right from my phone.

However, I want to warn others about the subscription. I purchased the Premium version through the mobile app, assuming it would also give me Premium access when I logged into the website on my computer using the same account. While my resume was there, I couldn’t download or access the Premium features unless I purchased another Premium subscription for the web version. I ended up paying twice just to access the same resume on a different device.

The resume builder is excellent, but this separate billing between the mobile app and website was frustrating and wasn’t clear before I subscribed. If you plan to work on your resume across both your phone and computer, make sure you understand how the subscriptions work before paying.

**Developer response:** Thanks for the thoughtful feedback, and we’re really glad you liked the resume builder.

Just to clarify, the mobile app offers two subscription options: a mobile-only plan at a discounted price, and a Web + Mobile plan that includes access on both platforms. This is shown in the pricing, as the web version includes many more advanced features, while the mobile app focuses on the core resume-building experience.

That said, we’re sorry this wasn’t clear in your case. Please contact our support team and we’ll be happy to refund the price difference so you only pay for the subscription that best fits your needs.

### 5/5 — Love this app!!

*2026-07-04, version 3.0.0*

Keep up the amazing work on such a great app!!

### 5/5 — Kick Resume

*2026-06-26, version 3.0.0*

Kick Resume was able to update and enhance my technical resume with amazing speed and accuracy. The A.I. recommendations really polished up what was already a great resume and created some outstanding cover letters. This will be my resume platform from now on.

### 4/5 — Easy for highschoolers + doesn’t force you to use ai

*2026-06-22*

I don’t like that it has ai in the title but it doesn’t force you to use it, can be done by person which i like because i personally don’t like using ai

Has examples which does unfortunately have people’s information like email and numbers 

But easy to use and helps me understand what i need on my resume

### 1/5 — I really wanted this to work

*2026-06-19*

I signed up for an account hours ago at this point.  It said it would email me a confirmation to create my account.  I’ve not received that email at all (and yes I checked my spam folder).  I tired to see if there was a way to request another confirmation email.  There isn’t.  I attempted to just create the account from scratch again.  That didn’t work because it says my email already has an account.  An account they never let me verify or even access.  Based on my experience using this app is a waste of time.  Time you need to be using looking for new jobs.  I’m bummed I really wanted to use this app and have the app actually work.

**Developer response:** We’re really sorry about this. It sounds like the verification email didn’t get delivered, which definitely shouldn’t happen.

Please contact our support team with the email address you used to sign up, and we’ll verify your account manually and get you up and running as quickly as possible. Sorry for the frustrating first experience, and thanks for giving us a try.

### 5/5 — Great

*2026-06-16, version 3.0.0*

In this new tech fast share world this app fits in!

### 5/5 — Helpful and Professional Resume Builder

*2026-06-11*

I’ve been using Kickresume for about 5 years to create my resumes and cover letters, and it has consistently been one of the most helpful tools for job applications. The templates are professional, easy to customize, and make the whole process much smoother.

Now that Kickresume includes AI features, it has become even more useful. The AI helps with proofreading, correcting wording, improving resume descriptions, and making cover letters sound more polished and professional. It saves a lot of time and gives me more confidence before submitting applications.

Overall, Kickresume is a great tool for anyone who wants to create clean, professional resumes and cover letters without feeling overwhelmed. I highly recommend it.

**Developer response:** Thank you so much for sticking with Kickresume for 5 years! We’re really happy to hear that our templates and tools have helped make the job application process easier for you.

It’s also great to hear you’re enjoying the AI features. We’re improving them every day based on user feedback.

Thanks again for the recommendation and for being part of the Kickresume community. Wishing you lots of success in your career! 🚀

### 2/5 — Template updates not great

*2026-06-07*

Kickresume used to be excellent: clean interface, thoughtful templates, and a formatting system that rewarded precision. Recent updates have changed that.

The most immediate issue: ATS parsing now drops my contact information in the middle of the page rather than at the top. For anyone applying through online portals, that’s not a minor glitch — it’s a disqualifier before a human ever sees the resume.

The template margin changes have also thrown off carefully calibrated bullet character counts, requiring a full rewrite of content I’d spent considerable time refining. That’s the opposite of what a resume builder is supposed to do.

I’ve been a committed user, but I’m now actively exploring alternatives. If the template infrastructure gets fixed and ATS compatibility is tested more rigorously before updates ship, I’d come back. Until then, I can’t recommend it to anyone in a serious job search.

**Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback and for being a long-time Kickresume user. We’re sorry to hear that recent updates have affected your experience.

The ATS parsing issue you described shouldn’t happen, and we’d appreciate it if you could contact our support team so we can investigate it directly.

We’re currently rolling out a major update to our resume templates and editor, focused on improving formatting, flexibility, and overall resume quality. Thank you for bringing these issues to our attentionand we hope you’ll give Kickresume another try as these improvements become available.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 4.0.0 — 2026-08-17

IN SECURITY (we trust!)
In this newest release we made several improvements to the security of the app. It’s more secure now and that’s a good thing. Also, some bugs were smashed.

So, as you can see…There’s nothing to see here, citizen, move along.

### 3.0.1 — 2026-08-06

Hi! With this latest update, the app is updated. While there aren’t many visible changes, in the background we’ve laid foundations for a major release coming later this summer. I’m not allowed to write about it just yet, but it will be glorious. Stay tuned! (Oh, and we also did some bug fixing as always.)

### 3.0.0 — 2026-05-25

RESUME WRITER 2.0 IS HERE!

Our (your) resume writer is now better than ever. It’s no longer a cookie-cutter one-fits-all button that does it all. Now you can select your preferred tone of voice, structure, and more, to generate just the resume you want. Of course, it’s still fine-tuned to produce resumes that meet the highest standards. Hope this will let you create even better resumes and land even better jobs. 

With it comes an improved resume rewriter. It does nearly the same thing but it lets you rewrite resumes instead of generating them from scratch. Give it a try!

### 2.0.5 — 2026-05-08

Fixed the part where the app dramatically exited.

### 2.0.4 — 2026-05-04

Sorry. Today I cannot give you proper release notes, as I normally do. I totally forgot about this task and my team is already spamming me with reminders. Here’s what’s new:
	•	upgraded payment system
	•	removed Voice AI section
	•	enabled new architecture - better performance
	•	design improvements
	•	fixed image picker bottom safe area insets
	•	fixed reset password error handling
So, that’s that!
