I fiddled about with grammarly briefly after beginning post secondary education. The results were underwhelming, but I figured it makes sense for a free service. Later on the sent a coupon for a cheaper subscription so I figured why not try it? I paid for a years worth mistakenly, then realized my mistake and checked to see if it was worth it.

It was not worth it, as this only checks grammar at a very basic level, and does not understand quotations very well. In most of my test documents it barely detected listing errors, sentence fragments and runons. The most you will get of this is a thesaurus and an education at basic level.

I contacted support to let them know I was dissatisfied, and ask for a refund. Note that Grammarly has a "no refunds at any time" policy. Unfortunate, given their high cost and student sided advertising. I can not recommend a service like this to anyone, given there is no way to ensure you will get value out of your money. It basically has resorted to predatory tactics, instead of excellent service in all aspects to get customers.

I tried Grammarly back in its very early days (before customers started getting hit with sneaky auto service charges) and was completely and utterly underwhelmed. Grammarly is useful perhaps to non-English speakers or to many of the unfortunate youngsters of the current generation who slept through English Composition classes and take the majority of their grammar rules from colloquial text speech and emoticon use. For the portion of the population either well-educated or well-experienced with proper written English and basic composition, Grammarly is entirely obsolete. Not only are its grammar suggestions limited to the most obvious grammar flaws, but I was astounded by how many grammar errors it detected that were not errors at all and would have resulted in a grammarly "fix" that would have actually made the structure of the written works even worse (for example, the proper use of semicolons seems to be outside of Grammarly's abilities and it frequently detects sentence fragments that are not actually there.) In short, do not use this tool unless you want a program that serves as no more than a screaming sign of your own English incompetence; proper English users will get by with Word or just fine without this useless program.

Grammarly as marketing is an online spelling and grammar checking tool; I have utilized it on several occasions for writing school papers and creating or revising resumes. Not only does it provide word suggestions, it also corrects punctuation errors, while it integrates itself on many websites to include social media such as Facebook, there are still some websites and apps it cannot be integrated onto, however, copying and pasting content is an easy solution. It also has an advanced feature that you have to pay for a member upgrade in order to access, but I do not find it necessary you really want to set your personal bar very high in writing. I am very pleased with this website and application so far and do hope they continue to evolve it as it's a reletively new online tool available to internet users.

Is there absolutely no way of contacting a person on Grammarly? It is days before Christmas and I was charged 29 dollars. This is sneaky. I read of so many people told this was a free service on limited bases and then so many that have tried to cancel and just kept getting charged. I am so disappointed. The website does a good job of taking you around in circles. For instance, click this or that to get help and it goes right back to the beginning. I just hope I will not be charged EVER again. I will be posting this everywhere I can, if I do not get some sort of reply.

This is the worst customer service I ever encountered. They will not help. They ask for information they do not need to pretend to be assisting you. The responses are canned. This company needs to be nailed for fraud.

They do Illegal auto pay even though I canceled it! Horrible service and Company! Stay away! I honestly can't believe this company is still alive!

This is amazing... I CAN'T GET ENOUGH! I legit use it for EVERYTHING. I just wish that it was free. I'm using the free version right now whilst typing this. Very good everything. HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT! Already recommended it to my principal to install it in all of the computers at my school. Lol, he said he would consider it.

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.

Grammarly is absolutely an outstanding. I couldn't do without it.
It makes everything easy, perfect and very quick.
There isn't a better product anywhere.
Thanks a million Grammarly!
