Short answer
A career-changer resume needs transferable skills surfaced and the target job's language mirrored. Paste the job description, see which required skills are missing from your draft, and rework your bullets to speak the new field's vocabulary — so the ATS scores you in range.
Doing this on-device means you can iterate honestly on real experience without uploading your CV to a third-party server, and export an ATS-safe PDF with no watermark.

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. |
