Introduction to EduBirdie
EduBirdie is an academic writing service that was founded in 2014 and offers a variety of academic writing help to students. This includes essay writing, editing, proofreading, research papers, coursework, lab reports, book reviews, speeches, PowerPoint presentations, Excel assignments, and more. Students can order these services and have professional writers complete the work for them. In addition to writing services offered on their website, EduBirdie also has a mobile app available for both iOS and Android devices.
How the EduBirdie App Works
The EduBirdie app works very similarly to ordering writing help through their website. Students begin by creating a user profile with basic contact and payment information. From there, they can browse the different types of academic papers and services available. When selecting a paper type, students provide details about the specific assignment such as word count, topic/subject, formatting style, and deadline. They can also upload any files or instructions from their professor.
Once an order is placed, it is assigned to an available writer. Students can communicate directly with the writer through a private chat function within the app. They receive updates on writing progress and have the opportunity to request revisions before the final paper is submitted. Payment is processed through the app either with credit/debit cards or payment services like PayPal. Once the order is complete, students receive the final paper via email in the file format specified in the original order details (usually a Word document).
The app aims to simplify the process of ordering papers compared to going through the website on a desktop or laptop computer. Everything can be handled through the convenience of a mobile device. Students have access to their order history, profile settings, and communications with writers all in one place via the app.
Writer Verification and Quality Control
One common concern with using writing services is whether the work will be completed by qualified writers and meet acceptable standards. EduBirdie claims to vet all writers thoroughly before allowing them to take on paid writing orders. Writers are required to submit background information, qualifications, and samples of previous work that are reviewed by EduBirdie.
To maintain quality control, the company says each paper goes through multiple reviews before being delivered to the student. An automatic plagiarism check is performed using copying detection software. Papers are also checked for formatting accuracy, grammar mistakes, typos, and adherence to the original guidelines provided by the student. Any issues found during these review stages are sent back to the writer for corrections and improvements.
EduBirdie also has a rating and feedback system so students can evaluate the writers they work with. Students assign a star rating for communication quality, on-time delivery, following instructions accurately, grammar/style, and overall satisfaction. This rating data helps EduBirdie continue evaluating writers and weeding out any who receive consistently poor reviews.
Pricing and Turnaround Times
Pricing on the EduBirdie app varies based on the type of paper or service ordered as well as factors like academic level, word count, number of sources required, and deadline. In general, expect prices to range from $10 to $50 per page for standard writing assignments with longer deadlines of 7-14 days.
rush orders with deadlines of 3 days or less can increase prices by $5-10 per page. Last-minute 24-hour orders may be 1.5x to 2x standard page rates. Additional services like editing, proofreading, or VIP support also drive pricing upward. Total costs tend to be lower for high school level work compared to college or graduate level papers.
Students can select delivery deadlines ranging from 3 hours all the way to 30 days. Very short deadlines under 1 day will incur rush order charges. The Express 14-hour delivery option promises papers within half a day for $5-10 more per page than standard rates. Standard turnaround with a 1-7 day lead time is included in normal page prices.
Someexample estimated pricing ranges include:
High school 500-word essay – $50-75 (5-7 day delivery)
Undergrad 1500-word research paper – $120-150
Graduate level 2000-word literature review – $180-225
24-hour MBA case study analysis – $250-300
Master’s thesis chapter editing – $10 per page
User Reviews and Controversies
User reviews of the EduBirdie app give mixed feedback. Many students seem satisfied with the quality of papers received and ease of using the app to place and track orders. Other reviews criticize high prices, mixed writer quality, and lack of responsiveness from customer service at times.
EduBirdie has been somewhat controversial since it essentially provides pre-written papers to students. Critics argue this enables academic dishonesty and undermines the purpose of educational assignments. Some universities have warned students against using these types of custom writing services. EduBirdiemaintains that they exist to help struggling students, not enable cheating, and warns against passing off submitted works as one’s own.
Conclusion
While receiving pre-written papers raises ethical issues, the EduBirdie app does aim to streamline the process of ordering various types of academic assistance through a user-friendly mobile platform. It allows students to outsource writing tasks when facing time pressures or subject difficulties. Quality, prices, and turnaround times vary so students must weigh these factors carefully versus just relying on app conveniences. Overall, the app replicates many of the online services offered through EduBirdie’s main website onto a smartphone-based interface for on-the-go academic support.
