Grammarly

It's an awesome app and it very helpful.
So far it been a really good app I love it.
It uses academic vocabulary words and I like that.

I am a former English teacher in the middle of a career change. When I first downloaded Grammarly, I noticed that the program slowed down my computer because it's always running in the background and I am a fast typer. Basically, Grammarly can't keep up with my typing speed so it creates lag on my computer. This lag causes letters that I type not to be recognized, and Grammarly gets to claim you made a spelling mistake. Also, if you go back and insert words and phrases into previously written lines (like most people do), Grammarly's software struggles to keep up with what you're doing. While the software tries to underline the mistake, it slows down your computer and creates more spelling errors by combining words.

Anyway, I didn't pay much attention to all this until I started applying for jobs. Not only did Grammarly create a spelling error (the word additionally), the software did not recognize the word was spelled incorrectly AND I SUBMITTED THE COVER LETTER.

You want to know how I realized Grammarly didn't pick up the spelling error? I reused the same cover letter on another application, but this time, Grammarly recognized the mistake.

It's one thing for this bulky software to slow down my computer's ability to keep up with my typing speed -its another for this scam of a service to fail to pick up on spelling errors -especially when you're submitting cover letters!

I am going to delete this software as soon as I submit this review. It is too inconsistent. Also, the program creates the majority of spelling errors it catches because it slows down your computer and keystrokes aren't recognized -hope that makes sense.

I guess the software would have caught the spelling mistake if I had paid for the premium version? This is a scam.

I was led to believe that I would be payed $15 per month payed annually for a business account which could supply 3-100 users! So i should have been charged $180.

I WAS CHARGED $900 AND I AM ABSOLUTELY IN TEARS!

I'm not a business owner i got this for my siblings and I to use for our uni assignments. I don't have this kind of money!

Throughout the whole advertisement process i was led through i was told I would be charged a rate of $15 per month for a service that could supply 3-100 people with the service. However they failed to mention until the last page, which i didn't see at the time because it's nearly impossible to notice (especially after being told another different information for so long), that the service is charged PER PERSON and has a minimum of 3 people.

So the $15 figure is a complete lie, you can't even choose to pay the $15 per month because the minimum persons is 3. That makes it $45 per month ($540 per year AND IT IS BILLED ANUALLY) IT'S AN OUTRIGHT $#*!ING LIE

On top of this there is no way to get in contact with the company directly. No phone number or email displayed just a section on their website where you can "contact support", however it doesn't disclose how long it will take for them to get back to you. I found a number on a website called customercarecontact that listed a phone number for them, however it's an American number that charges international rates when calling from overseas (I'm from australia)

I'm absolutely disgusted with this company and their abuse of trust.

Everytime I go to use it never corrects my work it even messed up my work. It never works. Waste of time or if you pay it is a waste of money.
