### "A REALLY HELPFUL TOOL FOR MANY APPLICATIONS"

July 15, 2020

5.0

I am a writer so always writing and ProWritingAid has helped me immensely in producing a much better product than what I would have had without it. It is helping me with correct grammar, spelling, everything in writing up this review. It also gives me choices about whether or not I agree with their options. I am thrilled that I decided to use it.

Pros

It really helps me with spelling, punctuation, grammar, etc. All helpful tips and tools for creating a polished story, document whatever.

Cons

I can't say I dislike anything about ProWritingAid.

### "Very Good. I want something"

August 1, 2020

5.0

Its good

Pros

It's very intuitive. It generates a lot of reports that can help to improve the quality of a piece of writing. The 'glue index' or whatever, for instance, is very good.

Cons

I want you to add an 'extension' to Word for the Mac. It is irritating to have to write a document and then open it in your tool. Grammarly has an add-on for the Mac. You need to get this done.

### "Definitely recommend ProWriting Aid"

March 26, 2021

5.0

Pros

I enjoy using ProWriting Aid because it offers grammar and writing style checking which is key for my line of work. As an independent publisher it is key for me to revise the documents that I send to prospective contractors and this app allows me to have peace of mind as it checks grammar and writing. Definitely recommend this app.

Cons

There are no cons to this app and it is very easy to use and simple. I think that it is well put together.

### "Great program. "

June 1, 2020

4.0

I like it and I plan to keep using it. If I Can somehow turn this into a full-time job, I will purchase the full edition.

Pros

Well, this tool has really improved my writing. I didn't realize how passive my language was until I used this program. It forces me to think about how I word things.

Cons

It can slow down a document when it checks for errors on a large document.

### "Work in progress"

June 12, 2020

3.0

Because I sometimes type faster than my comp can process sometimes spaces or letters get left out and this program seems to pick up on all the not just some and I like that.

Pros

Truthfully, I don't enjoy working online or with a browser add-on. I prefer a downloadable program that I can use offline and online. This is my first time using a program such as this and I have only been using it less than a week.

Cons

That sometimes what I say is the way it needs to be said or written.

### "Great Product"

September 6, 2019

5.0

Pros

I love the fact that it is so easy to use and the overall quality of the software. I love the fact that it offers articles and other resources to help with my writing and that it helps me put words into my writing that I probably wouldn't have otherwise without this program. Great job guys keep up the wonderful work.

Cons

I think that it should be offered free for students to help them along in their writing and educational ventures.

### "a surprise benefit hidden away, in the software."

May 27, 2020

5.0

Very good so far.

Pros

While similar to other editing tools, when I installed the Chrome browser app version, I had a pleasant surprise. It prepared me to have me to copy-past my work into the prowriting worksheet. NO! The program works right in any window where typing is required.

Cons

Sometimes when I edit, the correction is one character off. This problem might be only due to me having another editor active at the same time!

### "The next best thing to a human editor"

August 4, 2019

5.0

Pros

I loved the different 'filters' of analysis the software gives you and the reports on how to improve your writing. It is easy to be repetitive or over use adverbs. The software gives your writing a deep read and highlights words that could be removed easily to help flow. Each pass highlights areas of concern in different colours to help you sort them out. There is a lot of additional customer help, hints and tips too. I published my first book on Amazon recently, and Pro Writing Aid gave me that second pair of eyes. I'm about to use it as I embark on the sequel. Wonderful and (I think) fairly inexpensive for what you get. I use it as a Word plug in.

Cons

I had a little bit of a problem turning the highlight colours off for printing, but got there in the end.

I think it is a great product. I would like it to identify more medical terms etc.

Pros

It is easy and helpful to use. I like that it embeds itself in the text.

### "Safe Grammar Checking Tool"

October 30, 2019

5.0

Overall, this tool will make your writing better. As I am a content writer, so ProWritingAid is the best thing for you. I don't have enough time to proofread the document to correct my mistakes. This software does all my proofreading within no time. And, I am loving it

Pros

I like this software as it is super easy to use. It includes very little time to find out the mistakes as compared to Grammarly. I make your writing fluent and easy to read. Whenever I write something is a passive voice, it shows me a warning. It will give every person clean drafts whoever uses it.

Cons

I feel some bugs in this software. If I want to undo something, I am unable to do it and I don't know why. Sometimes the program cannot respond, and I lost all the data which I have edited. Also, its free version allows only 500 words to check.

### "Discovering effective editing without a human editor."

May 10, 2020

5.0

Pros

Easy to use with other software, IE Final Draft & Word for Mac. It also integrates with Novel writing software. Very helpful program.

Cons

Still learning it. But. I like all its features. Have no 'least likes' so far. It's a bit early for me to say. Ask me again in six months' time.

Reason for choosing ProWritingAid

More features and a better price - offered value for money. Overall, it suited what I was looking for.

### "Like grammar check on steroids"

August 7, 2019

5.0

Pros

ProWritingAid goes way beyond a traditional grammar/spelling checker to help you become a better writer. It helps with writing style issues. It has a free Google Chrome extension as well. It also includes a plagiarism check.

Cons

You have to pay to get the full benefits of what this software has to offer. Also, I disagreed with some of the style choices.

September 7, 2022

5.0

Very useful in determining where words are overworked.

Pros

I love the repetitive word counter. It helps ensure that the writing is not overusing words repetitively.

Cons

It was very complicated to sort out the reports

### "Excellent writing aid for long-form content -- great value."

May 25, 2020

5.0

Great so far -- replaced Grammerly, and so far not missing anything.

Pros

It works well across multiple platforms and has scrivener integration -- which is great for working on long-form-content like non-fiction books and novels.

Cons

Would be great if there was some way to integrate with Scrivener for real-time updates like you get in Google Docs.

### "Good Value and Great Features"

August 8, 2020

4.0

Positive. I'm enjoying it a great deal and have already recommended it to friends.

Pros

ProWritingAid has helped me become a better writer. I love the different report features available to users, and the ability to add it to my current writing programs.

Cons

Adding it on to my Microsoft Word slowed it down—it takes ages to load. I also wish more of the report features would be available at the add-on level.

### "The Pro Eagle Eye"

June 9, 2020

5.0

Lifesaver. Easy to use once downloaded works well with Grammarly.

Pros

I love ProWritingAid's flexibility; it gives you the option to add unfamiliar words to your dictionary, and it can ignore expressions you want to keep.

Cons

More intelligence, so that the word options it displays are closer to the writer's intended meaning. Curious why I need to sign into a premium to see more editorial options?

### "Review"

September 4, 2019

4.0

Pros

I like that it includes more features than Grammarly, such as passive verbs and adverb checks. With Grammarly, you have to pay to get those features, but they are included for free here.

Cons

I don't like that when I'm typing an email, if I hover over a word that has been underlined, the box that comes up doesn't go away when I move my mouse, covering most of the rest of my email.

### "Its easy to use"

June 14, 2020

4.0

Great. I'd easily recommend it to any user. How I wish it has a desktop app feature.

Pros

Pro writing provides additional editorial features intertwined with Thesaurus enabling writers and users to write, edit, check and easily compare their words and writing style with a vast array of options.

Cons

Its linkage with Thesauraus and the robust grammar editing feature and repetitive word check feature.

### "I had no idea how much I needed this"

June 9, 2020

5.0

Pros

I expected to use ProWritingAid with a novel. I didn't realize how helpful it would be for on-the-fly writing online. My social media communication has gotten tighter and more direct. And my writing in Word and Scrivener has become leaner as well.

Cons

I wish it integrated flawlessly with Scrivener (instead of requiring that I cut and past text into desktop software).
