(UPDATE at end)

I too wish I had read the reviews.

I paid for the semester package. I made sure the document was less than 64,000 characters with (spaces). The document was less than 20MB. And I (attempted) to upload it. There it sat - claiming that it would take 2 mins to upload. 20 mins later - it never did. What it did do was to automatically log me out of the system and send me back to their home page.

There is a note on the page that suggests "Because the service is temporarily experiencing unusually high volumes, your results may take several hours." So I tried again at various times. Early morning. Late night. Middle day. Afternoon. It did not matter. No uploading.

I wrote to them. Got back a? Generic reply saying they would send my concern to their "Tier One Specialists to be investigated further". No reply 2 days later. (time of writing this review)

Also note, that their website says: "All WriteCheck credits purchased are non-refundable. WriteCheck will not prorate any unused credits for an account."

But what if there isn't any service to begin with?

This company is not good. It can be a headache for the student stretched for time. And it is money lost. Stay away.

I hope to be able to update this

********UPDATE *********

Got back a reply that said to change the browser. I had used Google chrome previously (listed by them as compatible). I used Microsoft edge this time. It did the same. Took 2 credits and gave no report. Frustrated I went to write a complaint to them (again) and had to check the site - lo and behold, there sat my report.

So it works. Grammar notes were appreciated. It listed most of my citations (e.g. Brown 2009, Clarke 2010, Dizon 2011) as plagiarism though (what gives?) and that increased my score.

The agent noted that they were having a huge amount of submissions. So there was a backlog.

The site name has 'beta' attached. Perhaps it's not ready as yet. I can't faithfully recommend this. I went with another site that was way faster and didn't flag my citations. I feel better with them.

Upgrading stars from '1' to '2'.

Tip for consumers:
Do not use.
Check unicheck.com instead. They do not save your info. Results in 5 mins.
