Grammarly

I'm a professional editor, but I decided to give Grammarly a try. It has caught maybe two errors in the past week, and has suggested dozens more. Grammarly seems to love adding "the" in front of everything and it hates commas, unless it's after the word "apparently", in which case how dare I not use one. It is also currently telling me that my tone is "joyful".
I decided to write this review because I had written "Neither of these are classes" and it told me to change "are" to "is". Right now it has a little red line under "are" again, because apparently Grammarly doesn't know that "neither", "these", and "classes" are all referring to something in the plural. It is also for some reason telling me that the word "are" in quotation marks from my last sentence should also be changed to "is".
Needless to say, I am going to uninstall it once I am finished with this review.

I paid a small fortune for their Premium product, It worked well for a long time, then started to go off the rails. I asked for support help and got emails sent in the middle of the night. Obviously, they are somewhere else in the world. I am a computer idiot and had difficulty following their emailed instructions. As directed, I uninstalled the program. Now I have NO program and they are not responding to my requests. Their website says that they DO NOT provide telephone support. So, caveat emptor (let the buyer beware) unless you speak computer!

The only thing that the free version does is spelling and punctuation check. But little does Grammarly know, almost computers already have that built into it. I typed the exact same text filled with errors on two different documents and used Grammarly for one and the google docs spell check for the other. When I finished, the two documents were identical. And if you want it to do more than that, you can pay 30 bucks a month to get a bunch of options that you really don't need anyway. Don't waste your money, don't waste your time. Delete Grammarly.

I really like Grammarly a lot but the only two things are bad about it. One is that it doesn't work in google products I don't know why. It only works on mail and Google docs in a google product. Also, the second thing is that the tone detector is not there when you click a new document on Grammarly. It should make things better when you are not paying. They should add more options on a free plan. Personally, I think that Grammarly is a great start!

I would really give it no stars if I could and yes I have removed it from my computer. After writing and correcting and carefully proofreading twice in word I had no mistakes. Yet Grammarly said there was things I had to correct. I did that and then I found a sentence that was completely unrecognisable as anything I had written. Surprised I copied back to Word only to be shocked to find I now had 387 mistakes!
Stay away from it and save your money and especially if your English is not strong.
Read the other reviews here, post your reviews everywhere, these people need to be held responsible. In my country it is unlawful to take money without notification and a service has to provide what it promises.

I've been using Grammarly for quite a long time now, and I've loved it. Some things can improve, for example, loop corrections. If I correct a sentence once, it asks me to go back to the original, and when I do that, It gives me the first suggestion again; this process continues in a loop and can be very frustrating. Other than that, I love Grammarly. It has helped me grow as a writer, even if it's just by a little bit. I love that it encourages me and motivates me by giving me a progress report every week. It makes correcting my grammar and perfecting what I'm writing so easy and efficient!

I tried Grammarly for the test period and it seemed to work well for my needs. I received an e-mail offering me a special discounted monthly rate to continue which I decided to use. Instead, when I tried to sign up, they gave me no option to choose the monthly charge and they hit my bank for the full annual charge. I cancelled immediately, but am now in dispute with the company for a refund. I am having to go through the bank to dispute the charge as there is nowhere that I can find a phone number to contact Grammarly directly. Their product works fairly well, but their business practices stink. Watch out.

There is a huge lack of customer service options. I wanted to unsubscribe 3 months ago but the reoccurring charges kept coming back up on my bank account. I know I already unsubscribe and followed their directions specifically but I just got charged again today. There is no customer service number, or at least, it is extremely difficult to find. You have to fill out a request form and then wait for someone to get back to you. It's far too expensive of a service to begin with, and with their significant lack of customer service, I would never recommend getting this.

I love using grammarly on my computer, last school year i had ok stats, this year i transferred to a different school and it's been all online since august. My stats have skyrocketed. One time i was i think more proficient than 98% of users or something like that. On my iphone though i find the app kind of annoying especially when you don't want ever single word to pop up on grammarly. Overall it's awesome, I have a formal essay coming up for my US Lit Class, and you know i'll be using this.

This app is great, it helps me with my schoolwork, especially LA. But sometimes when I click on the improvement it wants me to make, it can sometimes delete a few letters and the space from the word, and group 2 words together. Example: at one point I typed "really good" in a sentence and I clicked on the Grammarly improvement and all it did was what I described and it came out as reagood. Other than that, great app! If you could improve the problem, I will definitely change the rating to 5 stars!

I first tried the free Grammarly, which was mostly dealing with punctuation. SO, I paid for the Premium Grammarly thinking I would get a lot of good help It was a waste of my money and my time. There was some help with punctuation and some suggestions were incorrect. As well, they suggest changing words which should not be change... for instance, when I was writing about a grill on a car, Grammarly wanted me to change grill to Restaurant. That was just one of many ridiculous suggestions I got over a plus 300 page document. I wish Grammarly could have been worth the money, but based on my experience, it is not. Maybe if you are just writing a short report, you will not see the problems that I experienced. It just goes to show you that computer generated help is not the same as a live person.
