User reviews
Smashing ★★★★★
I thought it was pretty good , but it turns out it was really good since it gained me a unconditional at the university of Aberdeen with them commenting how important personal statements were to get a place at their university.
A really useful app! ★★★★★
The thing with this app is that it a) it is intuitive and easy to use and b) it provides practical assistance for the daunting task of writing your UCAS personal statement. In short - it is REALLY USEFUL! As a sixth form tutor myself, I know how difficult and stressful it can be for students to put together an impressive personal statement which can stand them out from the crowd as part of the university application process. This app allows the students to read a section for advice and then apply that advice to a draft version of their own statement all on the same place. The sample statements also provide a good point of reference too and students can benchmark their own efforts against good versions from previos applications. Well done for bringing bring UCAS advice into the 21st Century! Great app!
Makes UCAS applications ALOT less daunting! ★★★★★
Really useful App that makes the whole application process manageable. Being able to break the process down into individual stages and readdress them so easily makes redrafting simple. The layout also makes it interesting and manageable to read and is particularly helpful when wanting to complete on the move and not having to find access to a computer; reminding you constantly of areas of focus so that you don't have to flick between documents. Well worth my pocket money!
Makes writing a PS easy! ★★★★★
I'm applying to university next month and was finding writing my Personal Statement really difficult - I didn't know where to start, what to say, what not to say etc. I bought this app after seeing the glowing reviews and am pleased to say they're well deserved! Everything is structured well and informative. It's easy to navigate through and allows you to modify anything you've written which is perfect for those spur of the moment bursts of inspiration. I would advise anyone who is thinking about writing a personal statement to invest in this. £3 is nothing compared to wowing the admissions officer and bagging yourself a spot at uni, studying your chosen course!
★★★★★
Fantastically simple to use. I've been struggling to know where to even begin with my personal statement for so long. This app has made it so much less long-winded and daunting in comparison to some of the books I've tried before. For the help and confidence it's given me I'd seriously recommend it!
★★★★★
Really really good app to write a personal statement. The examples & tips really help, and the easy and slick use of the app makes it so much easier to write the statement. I would definately recommend it, and for £3, its a bargain for the help it gives.
