About this app

Academic writing comes in many forms and can cover a wide range of subject matter; however, successful writing will demonstrate certain conventions, no matter what is being written about.

"Academic writing" is a broad term that covers a wide variety of genres across disciplines. While its features will vary, academic (or scholarly) writing in general tries to maintain a professional tone while defending  a specific position or idea.

There are many different approaches to academic research, since each discipline has its own conventions that dictate what kinds of texts and evidence are permissible. Scholarly writing typically takes an objective tone, even though it argues in favor of a specific position or stance. Academic writing can reach a broader audience through more informal venues, such as journalism and public speaking.

Ratings and reviews

It's a very informative app, I've learned a lot about the topic of literature and writing (even if I'm still not in college level). The bad thing is that the app seems to have a few bugs. Like when you use the highlighter, the words or letters gets cut off or change in size. And when you change the theme to dark, some sentences don't appear because they have the same color as the background. Please fix it. Although, the knowledge you can get from this app is honestly worth it.

No book. Just a link to audible that won't go away and it wants to access all my files. No thanks.

Doesn't really give extensive note on writing like I hope for, more topics should be added
