Short answer
Three to six bullets per role is the sweet spot — enough to show impact without overwhelming a recruiter who scans for only a few seconds. Write each bullet as an achievement, not a duty: start with a strong action verb, state what you did, and add a measurable result (a number, percentage or outcome) wherever you can. Put more bullets on recent, relevant roles and fewer on older ones.
CV Desk helps you apply this on your iPhone: it keeps the layout ATS-readable, exports a clean PDF with no watermark, and lets you tailor each version to the job. Always adapt to the specific role and country.

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. |
