User reviews

Doesn't integrate for proofing as well as some extensions such as Grammarly. I just started using it today, but so far, I've had to copy/paste my text into Styleguide to make it work. For the money, this app should work seamlessly.

Rated one up from today because Lingofy went out of their way on this holiday to hold a special zoom for me where they could see somehow my account is acting as corrupted. I really want this to work. I have used tools like this for other styles. APStylewriter have also been as helpful as possible and set up a ticket page for me where i was able to organize all the screenshots showing my issues. We have more meetings tomorrow. AP is a national treasure so I cannot imagine we arent working with the best minds possible on this. Hopefully after tomorrow I will be able to give another star.

Do not buy!!! This app is absolute garbage. I wish I could get a refund. The AP Stylebook site should be embarrassed to be selling this. Previous commenters have noted issues with the app. Lingofy does not catch the use the Oxford comma. (Grammarly does this well, so this function is possible.) The app also does not notify you about incorrect use of capitalization and punctuation on bulleted lists. A waste of money and misleading advertising.
