User reviews

ProWritingAid's Chrome extension is highly praised for improving writing skills through grammar and style suggestions, integrating smoothly with many writing apps, and being cost-effective by replacing other tools or editors. Users find it easy and valuable for creative and professional writing. However, several mention usability issues with the floating sidebar, occasional bugs especially on Mac, and imperfect misspelling corrections. The frequent prompts for premium upgrades also detract from the experience for some users.
Pros
  • Helps improve writing by providing grammar suggestions and editing assistance.
  • Integrates well with various writing apps and platforms.
  • Offers comprehensive style and grammar reports helpful for creative writing and professional editing.
  • Saves money by reducing the need for human editors or multiple writing tools.
  • Easy to use and effective in enhancing writing quality.
Cons
  • The sidebar or floating menu can be disruptive or hard to keep on screen, affecting usability.
  • The extension can be buggy, especially on certain platforms like Mac, requiring frequent refreshing or restarting.
  • Misspellings are sometimes not corrected accurately, leading to wrong suggestions.
  • Premium features are behind a paywall, which some users find annoyingly aggressive in prompting for payment.

PREMIUM ONLY USERS CAN SEE THIS REVIEW! Asking money every second like this extension being made by a bunch of beggars, who had 80 children to feed in their homes - literally. I mean I'm okay to tolerate an absolute beggars and capitalistic swine, but this ones are beyond my comprehension...

It's a great extension; I love it. But, I can't keep the sidebar thing on my screen at all times, which means I won't have any grammar suggestions of fixes without it on the screen.

I love that I can edit while I'm writing. It's actually taught me a lot about grammar and not to use those "filler" words. I use it every time I write.
