Chris Norbury (ID: 000000a2f86620db) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 08/05/2024 Much better than Grammarly. 8/5/24; I've had issues now and then with the app but customer support was responsive and helpful. Still not sure my issues are fixed, however.

Ahmed Obaid (ID: 000000d0efc7531c) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 06/25/2024 Awesome, use it everyday. June 2024 update: I've been using the ProWritingAid Chrome extension for a few years now, and it has quickly become an essential part of my writing toolkit. Installing the extension was a breeze. Once installed, it seamlessly integrated with my favorite writing platforms, including Google Docs and Notion. The ProWritingAid icon is easy to spot and interact with, and its color-coding system (green for no suggestions, orange for potential improvements) is intuitive and helpful.
