Also, any change I make in the Grammarly pop-up is gone once I return to my webpage, either by "return to webpage" feature in the popup or by clicking off of the popup. Sadly, It's missing the side bar where you look at readability and can choose to view one type of improvement at a time. I am communicating the issues just in case this is a finished product and I'll change the review when fixed. I should qualify all of the above with this caveat: Grammarly says I write better than 97% of whoever it is comparing me to, so it may not be doing as much for me as it could for another writer. I will keep using it, but, unfortunately, I've not seen enough "wow" to entice me to pay for it. It does help with pointing out words that don't need to be there. All in all, it is helpful, but not astounding. In particular, it is somewhat helpful in legal writing, but it has an issue with articles (it wants articles all the time, in every situation). It does not seem to be able to discern quick notes from lengthier writings. ![]() As for grammar and such, it does well, but Grammarly has a style that it wants to enforce all the time everywhere. I rated it a 3 because of the crash-lockup issue with Open Office. That might be a Java issue? Devs should look into that. Technically, it seems to work well enough, but it does not get along well with Open Office. They're basically begging for some startup to disrupt their business model. 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. It's like they got intrenched in a bad wrapper for their text analysis tool and just won't give it up. It still does odd formatting to your text and really doesn't play well with rich text. 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. I mean, I intensionally left out vowels so. 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. It injects the java and cute icons, but it doesn't actually evaluate text. The extensinon, essentially, just doesn't work. 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. Let's be clear, Grammarly, for all it's annoyances and privacy issues, if you use it carefully it's pretty great. 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? Show more After cancelling my subsciption, they send me funny videos of grizzly bears waving good bye at people. 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. Now I am reading the bogus developer responses to other customers' complaints. I had submitted my review already, but was so unhappy that I really got worked up. But it is better to cancel now than forget later and get charged for another year of subscribing to a useless product. I cancelled after 15 days though I will not get a refund. Spending $86 on the discounted subscription was a complete waste of money. This is likely the most buggy software I have ever used. 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. I suspect it gets thrown off by elements such as tables and text boxes. The Word plug-in does not work most of the time. Let's say, 100% off would have been more approriate for the quality of the product. ![]() Hence, I installed it with high hopes and got tricked into buy their Premimum subscription when they had their 40% off sale. Grammarly was recommended to me by a writing expert. ![]()
