Whats the best app to get for essay writing for the Macbook air??
I need something with a spell checker and word count facility and obviously
user friendly when I upload the essay to submit electronically,
Thanks
MacBook Air, iOS 7.0.3
Your Air has Apple Pages built in. That should work fine. Depending what format your electronic essay system requires, you may have to export to either Word or PDF, both of which Pages can do.
Alternatively, Libreoffice (libreoffice.com) is free and has most of the features of Microsft Office. You can of course buy Office but that's the most expensive option.

It does.

My MacBook Air purchased a year ago does not have Pages.
Pages does not have good reviews.
I'd like more opinions from MBAir users.
Shall I repost the question ?

If you purchased the MacBook Air on or after October 1, 2013 you should be able to download it free from the Mac App store. See the quote below from http://www.apple.com/mac/pages/
Pages is free on the Mac App Store for qualifying Mac computers purchased on or after October 1, 2013. OS X El Capitan required. Downloading apps requires an Apple ID.
While Pages is very capable, I'm not a big fan of it. The other two major options are https://www.libreoffice.org/ which is free and Microsoft Office which is available either as a subscription or a standalone purchase: https://products.office.com/en-us/buy/compare-microsoft-office-products?tab=omac
