André Bagestan (ID: 00000022d73f5e88) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 10/23/2023 É pago É péssimo

Luke S (ID: 000000f3d2a2e898) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 07/28/2023 Very useful during the trial. However, it makes google docs extremely slow so I frequently turned it off.

icon

Fiction Plus (ID: 0000007d9de67ee2) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 04/20/2023 There is one tiny (?) issue that I experienced: the writer input box widget can get in the way of edits. You have to turn off the plugin until next time and sometimes the event recurs. What would be nice. is having a movable Loom-like widget for the webpage, so that it doesn't block the user intended experiences.

Karam maso (ID: 0000009c535663d3) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 04/02/2023 it is the best so far, and it is completely free. The paid version is optional and provides some extra features.

Meghan (ID: 00000022f8b34693) Voted 3 ★ - Updated 02/21/2023 Extension overall is OK, I like that you can pick which English you use. @Devs, do note that the extension is unstable, doesn't always work on different sites. eg. LinkedIn And recently I found that having Writer on with Buffer causes Buffer to not recognised items copy and pasted in.
