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.

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.

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.

I used Grammarly for nearly 10 years and recommended it to others because the Microsoft Word integration on Mac was one of its most useful features. That integration was a major reason I kept paying for the product.Recently, that Word integration disappeared, and I was never notified that this core feature would be removed. When I contacted support, I was directed to use the Grammarly app instead, which is not the same thing and does not fit the workflow I relied on for years. For long-time customers, this feels like a bait-and-switch.What is most disappointing is not just the loss of the feature, but the lack of transparency. If a company decides to remove a key capability, especially one that many academic and professional writers depend on, it should communicate that clearly and honestly before customers are left discovering it on their own.After almost a decade of loyalty, I now have to look for other tools that better support Microsoft Word on Mac and are more upfront with their users. Grammarly used to be an easy recommendation for me. It no longer is.
