Developed by FR-solutions, this is an app which presents extensive 
content and tips on how to write essays, letters, graph descriptions, writing lessons, practice 
tests and useful links where students can read more about the process of writing. 
Additionally, the app introduces expository, argumentative, and cause-effect essay samples. 
The section on “how to write an essay” features an essay question, a sample answer and also 
a comment on the features and important sections of the sample answer. The lesson section 
further presents information on the process to write an essay, tips of vocabulary and some tips 
on paragraph writing, types of essays, introductions and conclusions. All of the topics 
presented in the app were strongly related to the skill being taught and practice and as a 
result, IELTS score 4 in the dimension of curriculum connection (see Fig. 7).

though, samples and sample analysis were very helpful, there was no feedback provided for 
students to improve their writing skills. This is a common shortcoming for apps that help in 
the development of productive skills, such as writing. Because of the kind of skill being 
practiced through this app, the app scored one in differentiation and appeal as good graphics 
were not presented and neither audio nor videos were available. Consequently, the mean 
score for the app was 2.88 (see Fig. 7).
