### 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.

### 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

### 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.

### 5/5 — GREAT Tool!

*2026-04-25, version 2.0.3*

### 4/5 — Subscription rate

The subscription rate is on the higher side

### 5/5 — Good

*2026-04-16, version 2.0.3*

Good

### 4/5 — Very Useful Tool

*2026-04-07*

App is very useful. ATS is good. I didn’t like the AI content much. Customer service is very customer oriented, customer service is not instant but very genuine reply.

**Developer response:** Thank you for your amazing feedback!

We really appreciate your honest comments about the AI-generated content. We’re improving our AI every day based on user feedback like yours, so insights like this help us make the experience better and more personalized over time.

### 5/5 — So Great  - Must Download

*2026-03-22*

This app is so cool it’s ai is super on top of everything so it makes it easier for you to write your own resume if your just starting out or need to retype your old one and want to change the wording to something a bit more professional. Either professional or standard type of resume, this app meets those needs no matter what they are! The best part of it all is at the end of creating your resume, they let you review it in print preview first and don’t charge you any money to download it on pdf format so you can save it to your phone and print it out later! Super cool! Super easy! 

la la la looooove it!

### 3/5 — Good with bugs

*2026-03-13*

I have started using this yesterday onwards and was good at the beginning and was able create good clear ATS friendly resume. After creating 6 resumes it started to block the upload saying unable to upload your old resume to edit. I  have upgraded to premium while I started using in the beginning itself to get best experience. This bug is not fixed Idk why. As a beginner user of this app please do the needful.

### 5/5 — ATS Ready Resume!

*2026-03-03, version 2.0.2*

Outstanding.

### 5/5 — Fab Resume Tempates

*2026-02-14*

Superb

### 5/5 — Great

*2026-01-31, version 2.0.1*

One of the best AI résumé apps I’ve ever used

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 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.

### 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.

### 1/5 — Honest review

*2026-06-03, version 3.0.0*

I don’t hardly ever leave reviews but honestly the basic features of a resume shouldn’t have to be brought I get that you want to make money but at what cost

### 1/5 — Premium is limited

*2026-03-21*

They make you pay for a premium subscription and limit the functions to five uses per day.  I strongly do not recommend.

**Developer response:** We’re sorry to hear about your frustration. Our Premium subscription is designed to provide unlimited access to premium features, so what you described definitely shouldn’t be the expected experience.

Please contact our support team directly so we can look into the issue and help resolve it as quickly as possible. We’re always happy to help and make sure everything works as intended for our users.

### 1/5 — Limited AI even with paid subscription

*2026-03-08, version 2.0.2*

Company advertises tailored resume creation, but doesn’t tell you that you’ll only have limited usage each month.  I apply to dozens of jobs a day in this market.  Was limited my second day into be bill cycle.  When I contacted support they told me how I could cancel.

### 1/5 — 2 subscriptions required

*2026-02-01, version 2.0.1*

Beware the online and mobile subscriptions are 2 separate fees. You will it have access to premium functions in both just because you subscribe to one of them.

### 1/5 — Reply was a lie

*2026-01-25, version 2.0.1*

Reviewed it saying they made a price jump from $3 to $10 dollar and they replied with they did not. 

Happy to send you receipts of the $3 mobile version and jumping to $10. How about you listen to the concerns of customers instead of insinuating a lie.

### 1/5 — Waste of money

*2026-01-09, version 2.0.1*

I spent more time deleting ai slop than working on my resume . 25$ later . Its garbage.

### 1/5 — Not a good tool

*2025-12-19*

Everytime I used the “AI” tool to write a resume, it uses the previous templete to populate the summary. Even when providing details about the job, keeps using standard text which shows very poor AI interaction. Waste of money, ChatGPT can do this and more

**Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback. Try deleting the existing summary completely, then run the AI rewrite directly on the summary section. If you’re targeting a specific role, make sure you’re using the option that tailors content to a job description rather than a generic rewrite.

If it still outputs repetitive, standard text, please contact our support team so we can investigate or refund your payment.

### 1/5 — Don’t waste time on this AI app

*2025-11-01*

Literally waste my time on this app. It will not give you a proper review. What the resume has developed or review zoom. Change waste of time. You can’t understand how it’s going. We can see what the update is done.

**Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback. Could you please be more specific so our support team can help you solve this issue? We will be more than happy to help. :)

### 5/5 — Kick Resume

*2026-06-26, version 3.0.0*

### 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.

### 5/5 — Resumes

*2026-05-31, version 3.0.0*

This is literally the best app to build your resume i like the resume designs and ease to fill it up, worth the subscription.

### 5/5 — Great App For AI Resume Aid

*2026-05-25, version 2.0.5*

The template system and their AI grading system (with suggestions to improve) is very helpful. Also great for formalizing thoughts or cover letters.

### 5/5 — Amazing Resume Builder

*2026-05-14*

I have used quite  a few resume building apps/websites and I have to say this one is by far one of my favorites. I appreciate all of the tools it offers including AI assistance when needed as well as the resume review and feed back. It has helped me create a polished resume and is super user friendly!! Also the ATS word scanner is beyond helpful today with many resumes just be shuffled into a pile it’s nice to know if you put the job in which you’re applying to it can help generate tracking words to help stay within the top candidates. As a recruiter and HR…I can honestly say this app is user friendly and polished to near perfection! Highly recommend!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

**Developer response:** Thank you for your amazing review! :)

### 5/5 — Super grateful

*2026-05-07, version 2.0.4*
