Aquirra RoEve L.

“The community surrounding this software is quite helpful and you can find help in many forums. Overall, it is an astoundingly simple and easy to use software that doesn't take any time out of writing.”

Robyn Margaret M.

English Second Language Tutor

“Fantastic, and the support are world class. They're helpful, friendly and get back to you so quickly.”

Cons

“My only complaint is that we didn't instantly upgrade when new versions came available and now seem to be stuck because our last couple attempts to actually upgrade have failed.”

Kate M.

“You can add HTML, but there's not a blanket HTML editor where you can fix any errors that you may have accidentally copied in.”
