### 3/5 — Having issues after update

*2023-10-31, version 4.0.0*

I am having issues to use this after update. Can’t login says not authorized to login and then somehow I did but was still crashing so many times! This was so useful to me and needed😞

### 1/5 — Nightmare

*2020-04-26, version 2.8.0*

Found the app a bit of a nightmare to operate. Can’t select text and empty some boxes. Gave up trying fiddle around with it in 5 minutes.

### 4/5 — Works great, just one request

*2019-12-21, version 2.7.6*

This app works very nicely, keeps track of both resume and cover letters when needed.  The only gotcha I seem to run into is that the PDF generated is A4 (European size) not “Letter” (8.5” x 11”) that’s used in NorthAmerica, guess it makes sense for a CV but I wish there was a way to change it in the app or on the site as it makes the print a bit odd when they print your resume on Letter.

### 1/5 — No vale la pena

*2019-09-09, version 2.7.2*

No entiendo como tiene 5 estrellas

### 3/5 — Good but needs to fix pagination in PDF

*2019-08-17, version 2.7.2*

The CV looks good on web. But the tool isn't able to do proper pagination and margin setting to ensure the resume are properly placed in pdf. That'a a bummer and not suitable to be used for offline resume tool. More effort is needed from the Developers to make this software great too for resume building.

### 1/5 — Does not work

*2019-07-05, version 2.6.0*

Index.html forbidden error

### 1/5 — Can’t create CV

*2019-06-27, version 2.6.0*

Always show forbidden when I want to create a CV. How to fixed it ?

### 1/5 — Very bad .. not even working properly. Juz wasted time and it was of no use

*2019-06-21, version 2.6.0*

Very bad

### 1/5 — Just bad

*2019-05-13, version 2.6.0*

Wish I could give it a 0

### 2/5 — This app crashes

*2019-05-08, version 2.6.0*

A lot

### 1/5 — Bug fix

*2019-02-20, version 2.5.2*

Improvement please

### 1/5 — Knew it was too good to be true

*2019-02-16, version 2.5.2*

After trying twice to begin filling out my resume I was given a blank screen and kicked out of the app. I will not play this game again. Each time I needed to close the app and start over for nothing!

### 3/5 — Crashing

*2019-02-07, version 2.5.2*

My app keeps crashing while I'm working on my resume!

### 3/5 — Can’t cut and paste

*2019-01-28, version 2.5.2*

This is a great app but can’t cut and paste my LinkedIn profile into the resume templates nor can I copy resumes to make unique target resumes...The help feature doesn’t provide any solutions

### 1/5 — Pricing

*2026-01-09, version 4.0.3*

Used to be good until they started charging for basic templates. Nothing but a money grab.

### 1/5 — NOT worth a single kb of data, AVOID IT

*2024-11-29, version 4.0.2*

Can’t even download a copy of your own resume, this $#!+ is hilarious. It used to be ok at best back in the day, now it’s straight garbage.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2024-08-27, version 4.0.2*

Wasted my time again on another app that doesn’t allow you to download upload or share the resume you spent time making 

Deleted…

### 1/5 — Unable to login in ios app

*2023-11-30, version 4.0.0*

Wasted my time on this garbage

### 1/5 — Pathetic..Download bait…

*2023-10-07, version 4.0.0*

U cannot make a free resume. There is a watermark stamp. Which can be only removed once you buy subscription.

### 1/5 — Amazingly pAtheTiC

*2023-03-26, version 3.4.4*

Well if ur are thinking to download this app then let me tell you this is one of the most unworthy apps online.
The pricing for just a simple resume is insane!!

### 1/5 — Won’t allow me to save as a PDF

*2022-10-12, version 3.2.0*

Keeps saying “failed” when I try to download as a PDF fix it please

### 1/5 — Awesome Gauge of Guile Ability

*2022-07-06, version 3.2.0*

I felt strongly that a more contemporary review was called for, since most are several years old. Yet for some reason posting of mine seems delayed. Originally posted 7/3/22, current edited version 7/5/2022.

This app is an extremely effective and easy way to find out how gullible you are. To begin your personal gullibility assessment, simply download and try it. After you see that any potentially useful functions require a significant recurring fee, decide whether or not to pay. With this decision, you’ve clearly demonstrated gullibility or lack thereof. Congratulations! 

 p.s.– If: your great aptitude at addressing guile needs no affirmation; you’re almost always agreeable, a bit naïve by nature, but avoid ancient  nefarious apps; &/or you’re unwilling to contribute to the developers’ supplemental income scheme (which ensures profitable revenue stream by bare minimum investment in all aspects), just skip directly to ignoring & forgetting about this app forever. Congratulations to you also!

### 1/5 — No longer able to download a pdf of my resume?!?

*2022-04-20, version 3.0.0*

This app/platform was minimally useful at best. But recent updates no longer allow you to download even a single pdf of your resume without paying an absurd $18 a month. Do yourselves a favor skip it.

### 1/5 — Scam and misleading

*2021-02-01, version 2.9.0*

Outside it is shown as no in app purchases and after some time, it just says things cannot be edited in mobile app and connects to web app and asks for subscription

The easiest way to build a CV

### 5/5 — Fantastic App

*2018-12-28, version 2.5.2*

I was suprised by the ease of use and functionality.  The App  lives up to the promises.  It makes resume building a breeze and  it looks highly professional.  I would have loved more templates and perhaps slightly more flexibility within the design but it is one of the greatest productivity Apps I have encountered.

### 5/5 — Amazing Product!

I have been using VisualCV for my last three job hunts and the responses I get are overwhelmingly positive.

Thank you!!!!
