Short answer
A strong cover letter is tailored to the specific job: it mirrors the posting's language, stays to one page, and complements — not repeats — your resume. Keeping it ATS-readable matters as much as the wording.
CV Desk is built for exactly this, with Pay once, No watermark, PDF & Word. Test it on a real example before relying on it, and check the current App Store listing for pricing.

Quick comparison
| Need | What to check | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Pricing model | Check whether useful features require a subscription, a one-time unlock, or neither. | The cheapest app on day one may not be cheapest after a year. |
| Privacy model | Prefer on-device work when the content is sensitive. | Private documents, resumes, study data, and family content deserve careful handling. |
| Export / lock-in | Confirm file formats, sharing, backup, and deletion controls. | A good app should help you finish the task, not trap your work. |
