Online applications in teaching and learning have been widely used in recent years. Pigai.org has become extremely popular for second language learning in China, and the study aims to examine its application to enhance students’ college English writing competency. Despite numerous studies on the use of Pigai.org, there has been rare research on its effects on college English writing competency in Chinese polytechnics. The current study investigates the effectiveness of its application over five weeks in a polytechnic college. Pigai.org has been applied in a College English Test-oriented writing class with 30 second-year students majoring in English. Sixty writing samples are collected in the first and fifth weeks, respectively, as the data analysis to evaluate writing complexity, accuracy, and fluency in pre-and post-tests. The study utilises a quantitative research approach, incorporating descriptive statistics, paired samples t-tests, and repeated measures ANOVA. The results show that the complexity, accuracy, and fluency significantly increased after applying Pigai.org in writing. Despite the decreases in very few items, most items measured in the study had higher scores in the post-test than in the pretest. The findings indicate that the use of Pigai.org positively affected college English writing and shed light on the pedagogical implications
