Description

Essay Writing Guide is an essential reference tool for student writers. Whether composing a five-paragraph paper, a college application essay, a dissertation, or preparing for the Advanced Placement (AP) English Literature Exam, Essay Writing Guide will help you on your way. For almost three years Essay Writing Guide has been a great success on multiple platforms with more schools and universities adopting it into their curriculum every day. The elements of writing are arranged around four interface wheels: Content, Style, Organization, and Mechanics. Click on any term around the wheels to reveal a new page containing the definition of that term, instructions for proper use, and examples from the literary canon. Click on Mechanics from any of the three other wheels to review the rules and proper conventions of English grammar. Essay Writing Guide is written to be concise and easy to use. The information students need is not buried within pages of irrelevant text or lost in a myriad of fruitless internet searches. By seeing the elements of writing displayed graphically, teachers and students are better able to visualize how those elements work together to develop style, coherence, and meaning. Each page is written in clear, effective prose with no fluff and no nonsense included. Educators can even project Essay Writing Guide in the classroom in order to reduce the need to write notes and examples on the board by hand. Essay Writing Guide was developed by a college English professor with extensive secondary experience and is appropriate for all levels from secondary through graduate-level university academics. Essay Writing Guide has been featured in numerous print and online publications. Check us out on YouTube to see the app in action.

    Not worth the price when there is so much of this same exact info for free. Check any college OWL guide for specifics.

    I find this app very informative and well organized. The advices and lessons given there are not only good for essays but writing in general including blogging (in my case). I just wish it had much better interface and felt more native to iOS platform.

    This is an all in one essay and writing "cheat sheet." It helps you plan if you're a new writer and offers reminders for experienced reminders to get them going again!
  • Great writing guide!

    “Essay Writing Guide,” is developed by the same group who published the app “Lit Analysis 2.” The app’s purpose would seem to be a writing guide for how to create an essay, but it ultimately performs as a reference guide for essay writing terms. Like the literature analysis app, this app contains definitions and examples for the many terms and elements of writing an essay. The few changes in format include “Do”s and “Do not”s for each term, instead of the “Questions to ask” of the previous app, which are generally basic bullet point lists of advice for the user in regards how to best use or excel at the term. The content of the app is generally good in quality, and comprehensive in the quantity of material it covers, but it acts as a simple reference guide, when the title would seems to suggest that it will guide a writer through the steps of writing an essay, which it does not adequately address. The design and layout of the content is presented identically to the way the material of “Lit Analysis 2” is presented, but where the circular wheel layout of that app works well for the sort of content it provides, it doesn’t work as well for this app. Any user would be forgiven their assumption that the app would be structured to guide them through the process of writing an essay. While this would be an annoyance in a free app, it becomes much worse when you consider that this app must be purchased at the time of this writing. This app suffers from the same dull and lifeless graphical presentation of “Lit Analysis 2,” made worse by the fact that it would appear to be a rather lazy recreation of that style with little concern to its effectiveness for the material. Despite all of that, I could easily see this app being used by a writer who already knows the basics of essay writing to improve his skills, or by a teacher who merely wants a concentrated reference tool for essay writing terms. It could be seen as just a few steps above a dictionary, but the quality of the advice and the examples can make a few bucks worth it. I give this app three and a half stars.

    For some one looking for a clear and helpful way to get started or brush up. This app is truly a blessing.
  • Of little help

    A waste of money and time. It is difficult to navigate and provides no new information. It is similar to a dictionary of essay terms. Very disappointing!
  • Valuable for teachers & students!

    This app has helped me explain writing to my students in a clear and concise manner. Both teachers and students will benefit from its rich features. Nice work!
