ProWritingAid

"Must have if you are a writer"

Comentarios: I'm using this tool mostly when I'm writing posts for my personal blog. It helps me to do all kinds of analysis over my text and make it better. Although, it is good for every day usage, when it highlights common errors in real-time.

Puntos a favor: It has a simple to use widget that can highlight your grammatic errors in real time. Though, when you want to open a detailed view, you can do that by tapping on the widget and it will open a full-featured editor with a lot of data about your writing.

Contras: Sometimes, the widget does not work for some of the text editors on websites. Hell, it even didn't work on the website where I'm writing the review now.

"My school life and my writer life has never had it easier!"

Puntos a favor: The readability checks along with the repeated word counter saves my papers and rough drafts and gives me a lot less work to do when I have to do hard edits.

Contras: The only thing that I don't like is that the plagiarism checks are limited. If anything, I would wish that paying customers can get a certain amount of checks every time they renew their license.

"Get the Extra Help"

Comentarios: ProWritingAid has been a great tool to use in my writing: personal and professional.

Puntos a favor: Realtime grammar and error check, spell check and recommendations, and the software helps you develop your own writing style.

Contras: I would encourage you to check out the blogs and tips as there are things that the new users will miss/dismiss.

"Great Tool for Extremely Short Texts, Monumental Fail Otherwise"

Comentarios: Sharing my two cents about ProWritingAid that I purchased a lifetime licence for: If you're reviewing texts about 300 - 400 words in length at maximum, you'll be happy with the tool. Otherwise, it's not worth the money. If you need a short-term solution, then by all means go for it but don't pay a buck for actually using the SW. I've been using the Word add-on for over three months now and if you want to use most of the tools on more than 800 words, the tool simply can't handle the 'load.' Usually, it breaks off after a minute or so and you can run the check again which normally doesn't help. You end up wasting a ton of your time and accomplish nothing at all. While the language advice and the correction improvements you get recommended are helpful, you're better off using Grammarly or another alternative if you're reviewing long chunks of text in one go and don't want to constantly copy-paste from Word to their interface and back which is a pain if you have to do that daily like myself.

Puntos a favor: Totally intuitive. If you know anything about how English, grammar and vocabulary alike, finding your way through the options and how they work will be a breeze.
No learning curve. The tool as well as the report are perfectly self-explanatory.
Easy-to-use online interface.

Contras: Useless add-on when dealing with texts of 800+ words.
Constant copy-pasting to and from the online interface wasting your time.

"I love ProWritingAid!"

Comentarios: Easy to install, understand, and use. I recommend it to everyone I know.

Puntos a favor: It's fast, intuitive, and accurate. The lifetime subscription and frequent smart updates are great.

Contras: Some features available in Word are unavailable online.
