- I just started using it and I'm grateful for this app a may get this book done after all
- Justin Quinn
- no signups, thanks, pass
- Nathan Beadle
- It is good, but I do not know how to remove it from my browser.
- Elizabeth Verge
- I think this does a better job than Grammerly, but be prepared to have half your document underlined in Yellow if you aren't willing to pay for it. Does it's job well, but can be slightly unintuitive to use.

- PWA is pretty decent. it's much more better than grammarly which gives you nonsensical slop, and it helps a LOT with writing- especially fanfic writing. there's tons of features it has, and you can adjust it as well, in case you don't want it to nag you about a possible mistake. the website of this extension is worth visiting, too. also here's a tip- if you're a first time writer, and it's your first time using writing aids, i suggest avoiding following ALL of it's suggestions. you'll lose your own style. just use the grammar fixes, timer, etc, and go with your own style! otherwise it'll strip your work of uniqueness. i kind of have harlan ellison's style of writing, so.. uh.. any writing with lots of originality and uniqueness is going to be turned into something bland, if you follow everything PWA says. and as for why i gave this three stars, even though this is the only writing aid i use atp, this thing keeps begging you to buy the premium version for it, and the ai features are super annoying.
- Morgan Walker
- This was suggested to me by a writing group I'm in and it has been a wonderful change of pace. There are so many customizable sections and so many resources in one place. It has helped me sooooo much! I appreciate it.
- Olivier Papineau-Schneiderman
- PWA has been a game changer for me, I'm dyslexic and ADHD, and PWA has been great, however, there should be a way to turn off the AI suggestions. I have my settings on creative writing, and yet the AI still gives me suggestions that strip my writing of voice. I understand that for corporate writing this is probably a useful function, but for creative writing it just doesn't work, especially for those of us who want to write authentically without the aid of AI. I also wish it was compatible on Android tablets/phones. Aside from that, it’s been a great help and works smoothly on my computer. I waited for Black Friday and bought the lifetime access, and have no regrets in doing so. I look forward to many years of writing/editing, as well as all the fun community events and competitions.

- UI is obnoxious. I hate the large logo in the way and it needing to be constantly moved around so I see my screen. I hate how large the correction window is. I had that it activates with hovering which makes it feel even more in the way and more obnoxious.
- Brenda Hobbs
- I enjoy using ProWritingAid: Grammar Checker & Paraphrasing Tool. It selects the right words and catches simple mistakes.
- storm frost
- Learned to use it easily and it's a great help already.
- Isabella cruz
- ProWriting Aid literally has to be one of the best tools for any writer to use. It will give you feedback on your writing, give you suggestions to enhance your writing, and so much more. It will help you with anything you need with your writing. Best extension I've ever used. Although it is slightly annoying that I have to pay for extra stuff, it's completely worth it. Must use!
- Kevin Disorda
- I have used PWA for years, and seen numerous improvements to the platform. I couldn't be happier with the current iteration. Easy to use for all types of writing styles. Great App. It's the one that does what it promises. You won't be sorry.

- It's honestly a great extension, it not only helps with grammar checks, but it keeps the story steady. Not everything is hidden behind a paywall like, grammarly, per se, it just makes writing and everyday projects much easier.

- Bud Walker
- I have yet to have this software work anywhere besides within the program. Google docs crashes it, word crashes immediatly, I bought lifetime premium after all the raving reviews and everyone recommending it to me... not realizing that lifetime premium suffering is what I bought.
- Aksh Satya Gupta
- Very good as a free writing software Doesnt push you into buying premium and very well developed
- An Ga
- Fantastic writing aid! I prefer this heavily over grammarly and rely heavily upon it to for writing papers and other academic works.
- oh boi
- actually quite good, even better than grammarly imo. my only complain is the premium plans should be a bit more affordable.
- Brian Forster
- I had used Grammarly originally, but when I began using ProWritingAid, I discovered more intuitive help. It's only been a day, but I'm sticking with it. May upgrade too!
- Gary Reed
- As I wrote my most recent novel, I found the reviews helpful in discovering what worked and what didn't work with the structure.
- Sarah G
- This is a great tool for anyone who wants to write a book or an essay or just a quick writing practice! and would recommend this, and it's free!
- Linda Taylor
- I like the quick corrections on my typos. This is a free very handy tool for grammar, spelling and sentence structure. Did I say, it's free.
- Zainab Naqvi
- I love it! It has helped me so many times with assignments and I can't be more greatful for the people who made this. Im ngl ts better then grammarly, loll
- Judith “Judy” Sohl
- My first day using it and my writing is already so much better.
- Allison
- This is the best. Its way better than Grammerly plus it will critique your writing. Ive definetly improved since i started using this extension so I say defintely give this extension a try!
- Jaxon Caffrey
- Its free and it's as good as Grammarly!
- Teresa LaPolla
- I absolutely love ProWritingAid. I've been using this program for over five years (first in Word then in a web based program). With the tips through this program, my writing has definitely improved. No, it's not perfect, and there are times the suggestions do not go with what I am writing, but nothing is perfect. For the most part, it is a great program and I would highly recommend ProWritingAid.
- Mike Slominsky
- I came over from Grammarly. I wanted to try something new and the introductory price was good. I have been pleased with the results. However, there are some issues. Some of the rephrases are not tied to the context correctly. Some of the executions of the rephrases leave a mess. In all fairness, Grammarly and Copilot have similar issues. I have yet to use its differentiating features such as full story analysis and genre-specific reviews and reports. Once I have done so, I will post an updated review. I do recommend that people give this product a fair shot. It does a good job as a proof-reader, and that is what I need. After all, it's not a great idea to "edit your own term-paper," and this applies to emails, org chats, and so on. This application gives me confidence I can send clear communications.
- Lola
- It really helps me catch my grammar mistakes and makes my sentences flow together better. The only downside is that it keeps logging out on Google Docs, and I have to repeatedly remove it from Chrome and then reinstall it.
- Anonymous
- Fantastic writing tool, and very well integrated across all systems.
- Anonymous
- It is such a relief to write that first draft creatively and not worry about punctuation, grammar, and passive verbs!
- Anonymous
- This is the best writing aid I've ever used. Useful for the various types of documents I need to create. Whether it's business or personal, I always trust the advice I receive. Above all, no one has criticized my writing skills since I started using it.

- My favourite writing tool ever. I've been writing for about 8 years, I tried many writing tools and ProWritingAid is the best one I've ever used.

- So I kid you not, this program is a definite level-up for me. Alongside beta readers it gives a full spectrum of insights. I bought the lifetime subscription halfway through my one year subscription, I love it that much. You will occasionally receive hilariously contorted suggestions that are the results of just switching out synonyms that don't match exactly but that is in the minority.

- I have come to love ProWritingAid so much, I decided to pay for the lifetime membership.
