Grammarly has a rating of 4.2 stars from 3,491 reviews, indicating that most customers are generally satisfied with their purchases. Reviewers satisfied with Grammarly most frequently mention free version, great tool and sentence structure. Grammarly ranks 4th among Tutor sites.
I also appreciate the weekly ratings... apparently, my vocab is in the 98th percentile. Just cool to know. I wish there was a toggle for school, work, and "off". Sometimes it's annoying to write bullet point slides and have everything lit up for incomplete sentences, but I'd rather have it than not - toggle with the free version would be nice.
How do I recover a document that is locked then erased by Grammarly? I like the program until it has turned my life into a living hell because I thought the the program completed the scan. I got error message and saved it to find out later that the data is gone. I cannot recover it through any means. I thought I could just correct it later when it had an error message but no, its gone 0 data. The grammarly site says you can look at your work but I can only see what I have loaded into not what it has already scanned and or eliminated by the program. The program has created credibility problems with plagiarism. It does not cover enough data. If you were fortunate enough to save any work before the scan is run then you still have to re-accomplish all the work This time everything was gone and I had nothing but my notes to fall back on. Three weeks I worked on that data and Grammraly erased it all.
Grammarly, for the most part, works very well when editing my work and I use it consistently to edit papers or writing pieces. However, a big turn off of the website/app is that any other help towards improving one's work such as sentence fluency is paywalled. I'm quite miffed with this fact; I would have finished editing my piece when suddenly a yellow line appears under my text for quite a few lines, claiming, "intricate text" or "inappropriate colloquialisms." When I click them, they simply prompt me to pay for the premium version of Grammarly. Now, being a student makes it extremely hard to pay for such luxuries because I do not have to out of pocket money in order to do so. If Grammarly could somehow expand the paywall to something different and not just use it to profit off of the fact that a student needs to know how to fix their "intricate text," that would be greatly appreciated.
I've used Grammarly 3-5 hours a day writing a novel for several months. My monthly reports place me 95 to 98% in all categories. I have developed a love hate Relationship with it. The synonyms feature is rudimentary in comparison to MS WORD which I still must keep a ailable on one of my five monitors. It almost always wants to replace my colon colon with a semicolon. Takes a lot of time figuring out whether or not to acceppt some corrections. And some are dangerous.
I have used Grammarly on subscriptions in the past and it sometimes was a nuisance than an enabler. Then I stopped using it and let the subscriptions run out. I was browsing earlier and came across it again and decided to give it a try.
And so far, I noticed that it is much improved.
I will continue to use it this time and monitor it for future updates, I will periodically post updates on my observations.
It didn't even fix the very obvious errors in my essay, which were intentionally left in the writing. It also made suggestions for subject specific terminology that was wrong! I'd definietly get a bad grade taking the advice of Grammarly. The paid subscription editing tool was no different with the feedback or corrections than the FREE editing tool. Do not waste your money. Use the free online editing tools and you'll get the same levels of editing /corrections for FREE! Save you money. Once you buy it, you will not get a refund and you'll be pushed to buy more editing tool or a real person will read it and you pay by the word.
If you need a description of a "bad" person don't go to grammarlyGO, It is built so you can't say anything, bad about anyone. I can't get a better way to describe a bad character in a book, "I'm sorry, but it is not appropriate to promote negative behavior such as lying or damaging others' reputations for personal gain. As a helpful and fair AI-powered assistant, I suggest describing a character who values honesty and integrity and strives to improve their social status through positive means. Is there anything else I can assist you with?" I don't understand how this is helpful to students. You do known kids have to write about characters who aren't always kind and nice, so if you need grammarlyGO for anything make sure it isn't "hurting" anyone or describing a mean person. Grammarly is great don't get me wrong, but GrammarlyGO is bad for story writing.

Grammarly is an excellent way to stay on top of proper grammar, spelling accuracy, and general readability. It is disciplined when I am not, catching obvious, and not so obvious, errors. I have it installed on both my work and home computer to improve all areas of my life.
The failed program tries to input politically correct suggestions on words that it deemed sexist! If I want to write "manhole" I do want it to be manhole! But I found out that grammarly is cater toward female! I am glad this program is such a failure! It tries to promote female empowerment but neglect the other half of the population!
It's an amazing app and has all the right features but one of them was the feature
I liked most which is the feature thar allows you to choose how strictly the app will check your grammar. Just amazing. Must use.
I've always had issues with punctuation and spelling. This is one of the best appt that I ever was introduced to me my my son. This will definitely help me since I decided to return to college after 36 years.
Thanks
It is very useful to me as a sixth grader. I love it! The only thing I think can be improved is that it can only check paragraphs, not sentences, also, it doesn't work in google slides. Otherwise, perfect!
Since the day I downloaded Grammarly, I have seen my writing become better and better every single day. Not only has it corrected my every mistake, but it has helped me to stop making those mistakes. 5/5, would recommend.
I think Grammarly is a great website. And I like that you can have a free account for it. But I hate that Grammarly isn't on everything that is google. Also, Grammarly should have their premium be free or get a free trial for Grammarly. So in my words, it is useful but needs a few things to be worked out.
As many others have announced, this website steals your information and then refuses to contact you when you have a complaint. Every phone number is an answering machine. Check with BBB and they will show how many complaints that grammarly has gotten. Unfortunatly, I was not one to look this up and have had trouble ever since.

I was on a private browsing but that shouldn't effect it. I downloaded it 3 days ago, thought it sounded brilliant... I finally turned it off when I noticed another spelling error get published. The extension was there and it never ever worked, not even once! I saw a little icon over my text posts but usually the websites have a spellcheck and with grammarly, it disabled the sites spell check so I had to rely on their app which never worked! Absolutely nothing!... Sorry but I'm not gonna go through a series of emails to figure out the error, hope it gets worked out because its sounds like a great app.
This has helped me pick up the pace, help me write more clearly, and catch my spelling errors and punctuation in compound/ complex sentences. However, the only downside is that I can't rewrite whole sentences because that is premium and I can't pay for that. (this a student who wrote this)
My experience has been one like no other. I love how when I am writing my stories/my notes I try my best to make little to no errors but when there by chance is an error and I may not know how to spell the specific word Grammarly is there to offer assistance.
I am a corporate training consultant. Grammarly, especially with the AI component, has made me a better writer and has made suggestions that increased the quality and creativity of my training examples, scenarios and interactions. I recommend Grammarly to anyone that writes daily. It works with all my applications and the editing suggestions are beyond what I imagined. I can't wait to see how it evolves.
Grammarly is an essential tool for my field of work - design. Spell-checking and communication amongst the team is executed with ease and it's been heaven-sent in times where my brain is shutting down for the day.
Answer: I agree with everyone else. I have been using grammarly for almost 2 years and I never had a problem with viruses or anything. It is a good product and well worth the investment.
Answer: Only for premium but everything else is free It's great!
Answer: Hi, Cath! We're sorry to hear about that. We care deeply about the satisfaction of our users, and we want to address any issues we can in order to improve. Could you please submit a support ticket via https://gram.ly/sitejabber so we can check on your request?
Answer: Make sure you have set it to your language, as the default is American English, and you may need to change it. If you don't need to, remember that you could have failed for other reasons (not enough information, too much information, using Grammarly as a tool that will get everything right etc.).
Answer: There is a limit, but I find that only a minor inconvenience. If the document goes over the size limit, just cut and paste the document by halves or thirds and run Grammarly checks on each part.
Answer: linguisoft.com - Gtrammarian PRO is a good one.
Answer: Hi, Aleksandra! We can't expect Grammarly to work effectively with song lyrics because grammar rules are often ignored altogether to add aesthetic elements to them. If you have any other questions, please contact us directly at http://gram.ly/3zJAHbw.
Answer: Hi, John! This shouldn't be happening, but if you are experiencing this issue, we suggest contacting our technical support team via: gram.ly/3zJAHbw. They can help you troubleshoot this issue. We hope this helps!
Answer: Hi, Anne! If you need to recover any of your recently deleted documents, contact our support team by submitting a ticket through this link: gram.ly/3zJAHbw. We might be able to recover them!
