I think this is a great tool. I've used Grammarly for 4-5 months now and it is VERY helpful for pointing out spelling and punctuation errors when I'm working on something with a lot of words. I also really like the counter arguments and tone insights you can do. It is SO helpful, especially when I'm writing something I'm not entirely sure about, to get that feedback when I need it. This being said, I have also seen many negative reviews saying that Grammarly does not let you write what you want to, but that's actually not true. While it will make comments if you ask it too and it sometimes won't give any improvement suggestions because of "sensitive content" (which is one thing that I don't like about Grammarly), you still have the freedom to write whatever you want; there is an option to turn it off for a while if you'd like.And yes, there have been a few more things that I haven't been so pleased with over the course of using Grammarly, but they are very minuscule, and truthfully I can't think of any other problems I've had off the top of my head. With all this said, I give Grammarly 4 stars, because it is a very good resourse for correcting mistakes and pointing out things in my writing I otherwise wouldn't have noticed, but also because, based off of my experiences and the apparent experiences of many others, there are a few changes that should be made very soon.

Grammarly was an amazing tool to correct punctuation and sentence structure while I was writing a research paper for school. I even paid for the yearly sub. After recently updating to the newest Mac Sequoia software Grammarly causes my Mac to crash while on Safari. Its literally unusable. The minute I “quit” Grammarly my Mac goes back to normal. A quick Reddit search reveals that this is rather common and has been ongoing for many years. Needless to say, I canceled Grammarly and don’t use it anymore due to this. Thankfully, school is nearly over which means I won’t need Grammarly but I will need my computer to work which means I won’t be sub-ing again.

I love what grammarly does. I do not like using the product. They have too many different apps that are either web based, in your browser, or on your desktop. It starts appearing in places you don't want it to, and starts getting in the way. The other day I was editing in line, and spending a lot of time in the little popup, making changes to the suggestion. I was trying to format something, and out of habit hit escape where it would have been appropriate in Word, etc. The popup dropped and I lost all my work I started over, and did the same thing again (I take the blame on that one). I want this to be sleeker, easier. It should be out of the way until you need it. It should not have 20 ways to get to it, and have those ways all result in some different version of it. This review is a perfect example. I'm long winded, probably made mistakes, and would benefit from using it here. I just don't feel like it. Why? I just started using a new computer and don't want to install grammarly because it's also a terrible drain on your resources when it's running in the background.

Grammarly was recommended to me by a writing expert. Hence, I installed it with high hopes and got tricked into buy their Premimum subscription when they had their 40% off sale. Let's say, 100% off would have been more approriate for the quality of the product.The Word plug-in does not work most of the time. I suspect it gets thrown off by elements such as tables and text boxes. It will show me that it has hundreds of suggestions, but when I scroll down a few lines, it suddenly tells me that everything is o.k.This is likely the most buggy software I have ever used. Spending $86 on the discounted subscription was a complete waste of money. I cancelled after 15 days though I will not get a refund. But it is better to cancel now than forget later and get charged for another year of subscribing to a useless product.I had submitted my review already, but was so unhappy that I really got worked up. Now I am reading the bogus developer responses to other customers' complaints. Do you not test your product before you release it? This product is in no way ready to be released, and tricking customers into useless Premium subscriptions is frivolous and unethical.After cancelling my subsciption, they send me funny videos of grizzly bears waving good bye at people. Really? Don't you want to use your funds for improving your product, sorely needed, rather than funny "hate to see you go" videos, which you will need plenty of?

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.)

Really love this app and its integration within all the software that I use. I dont know how well the engagement and clarity guages make a difference buts its a fun visual aid to see how well you project is going. But I do love its ability to make everything much more clear and accurate. Although it does need some help when it comes to recognizing common phrases we use in our everyday languages. But all in all this app is a mist have for ANYTHING you do that has written words involved with it. Although I do wonder just how much better the premium features are. But do not feel like you need the premium feature to get an excellent value out the free app.

With the 2021 Premium edition, all the various Grammarly recommendations are not highlighted, bolded, nor underlined within the document being reviewed. Thus, a 30-page document with 63 recommendations is entirely useless by page 3 as you cannot find where the revision is in the original document so I cannot tell context. Actually using Grammarly requires MORE timeand gives less useful review guidance because the recommandations are only on the right margin and NOT linked within the document so that it stands out from the original.Two Stars - to be read and not tossed out. Customer Service with this vendor is ABSENT and Cancellation is a matrix of impossible actions and getting AY response except "This Query is Closed" -which is IMMEDIATE when you ask how to cancel when the Prompt does not present on Safari or Google Chrome ...

Let's be clear, Grammarly, for all it's annoyances and privacy issues, if you use it carefully it's pretty great. In Chrome and FireFox it runs as expected and aside from the premium nag and some rich text oddities it does what it's meant to, and doest it well.This is not true in Safari. The extensinon, essentially, just doesn't work. It loads. It injects the java and cute icons, but it doesn't actually evaluate text. I put a doc into WordPress's editor that I know to be full of mistakes as a test and it said the doc was 100% correct. I mean, I intensionally left out vowels so...I think the bottom line here is that if you want to use Grammarly, use need to use Chrome :(Honestly, it feels like Grammarly peaked years ago and since they've stopped updating or improving their tool. It still has a chinky, memory hog, UI. It still does odd formatting to your text and really doesn't play well with rich text. It's like they got intrenched in a bad wrapper for their text analysis tool and just won't give it up. I don't know if it's the investment fallacy at work but there's no excuse in 2021 for a well established company to still be this rough around the edges. They're basically begging for some startup to disrupt their business model.

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!

Grammarly is good for catching most of your incidental grammatical errors; I'm really good when it comes to grammar and spelling, but I still make little mistakes that Grammarly catches me out on, and even without the premium version, I can usually guess at where the mistakes are once I know they exist.There are a lot of documents, however, where it just wouldn't be practical for Grammarly to be on. So you can either keep it on and have it highlight every not-actually-a-mistake, you can turn it off for this session and have it immediately turn on five minutes later when you've taken a break, or you can disable it and have it keep bringing up pop-ups to tell you to enable it again. SO annoying. Really making me consider un-installing it.

I have used the Grammerly app and desktop version for almost a year, until recently it was amazing. Since updating my Mac OS to the Sequoia 15.3 my whole laptop started acting funny. Not opening up links, instead downloading them, not allowing multiple windows, there was a slew of issues that had been happening. I contacted apple support, after an hour of trying to figure out the issue, our last resort was to remove the only extension that was installed. And once grammerly was removed, everything started working fine. Please update and feel free to reply, I would love to help you narrow down the issues to help fix them so I can have this back on my computer. It was so helpful for me.

Grammarly is fine, the product works a little better than other spell checkers. What pushed me to pay for the service was the desktop integration. Especially the ability to quickly apply multiple bundled changes with a key stroke instead of manually hovering over and clicking the changes. Then Grammarly removed this feature seemingly without regard for the users (instead of making it optional to support the users they claim didn’t like it). Without this feature Grammarly isn’t distinctly different from (or better than) in app word processing, Apple intelligence, or ChatGPTs Mac App. Sure it’s useful, but no more useful than free and paid alternatives and absolutely NOT worth paying for. Great job “fixing” something that wasn’t broke!
