Software Reviews and Criticism

  Worth the cost!

  No one wanted to edit my college papers as I earned my bachelors degree. One of my instructors recommended Grammarly. I have been a fan ever since. I write a lot of genealogy research papers - they are often "past tense." I have to ignore the hints to change wording. Also, Grammarly won't always know when you should have used a different word - that is a user error. The service cannot fix every problem, but it makes editing a whole lot faster! I continue to pay the yearly fee so that my children can use it. Last year I showed a college age daughter the benefits of Grammarly. She no longer asks me to review her college assignments. It's a win-win situation!

  SAME ERRORS as the Desktop App (PC) -- Going back to errors fixed and more

  It will revert back to errors that I previously dismissed, acting as if I didn't dismiss them already. They then will randomly appear in a anywhere from 30-60seconds. It's very annoying. Also, if I go back to a place where I already have accepted or dismissed all errors, and insert something, it doesn't re-check the change; for instance I purposely intserted a "th" in a sentence instead of "the" and it didn't catch it. PLEASE FIX. These EXACT SAME ERRORS also occur in the Grammarly Desktop App (PC)! Please fix these! It's taking 10 times longer now becuase I havre to keeep dismissing previous errors I already dismissed and if I insert something in areas that Grammarly already has checked. It will not re-check those changes made; it acts as if anything inserted doesn't exist!!!

  No More Excuses

  I have been a Grammerly user for over a year. I am a very good writer and know grammer rules by heart BUT, I always lost an inordinate amount of time proofreading because I am a crap-typist perfectionist with ADD. Grammerly points me to all those errors and saves me buckets of time. Anyone not using this (or a similarly robust app) is simply lazy and I am sick of reading their errors! Journalists, editors, bloggers hear me now! This will save you the embarrassment of publishing something with missing words, wrong words (it can detect context), and make you a better writer! Use it, PLEEEASE.

  Battery Hog and Takes up Too Much Screen Space

  The program is crippled and I wish they would fix it. First, the program takes up WAY to much screen space. I like to write with the app in 1/2 of the screen and safari on the other 1/2. I'm on a 15" MBP. But Grammarly won't let me reduce the screen below 75%. It's stupid. Makes no sense whatsoever. Second, I don't need it constantly checking my work because this kills the battery. Let me write, then enable a feature when I'm done to have it check my work. That would save so much battery life. Until these features are implemented, my review stands at 3 stars.

  The new feedback window is terrible

  The new feedback window is terrible. I don't know who thinks of this, but extremely annoying. It is never helping, extremely slow, you don't know what's wrong with your text, it's just terrible. The previous version was to give a very fast response and was much more helpful. I could see my spelling and grammar mistakes (wordy sentences, passive voice misuse, etc.) much better. Now I have to open the app to see them. It causes a huge waste of time. I hope you will give up this stupid idea as soon as possible. In addition, why Grammarly does not find the Capitalization mistakes? Edit: We know which letter to click we are not new to this app. We are aware that your goal is to sell the premium subscription. That's why you have removed the features we use from the extension. We are not stupid and do not try to make us fools. I found a better solution. Deleting my Grammarly account and going back to LanguageTool. At least when I type lP (it warns me that it should be LP.)
