  • (2024-06-25) Ahmed Obaid: 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.

  • (2023-07-27, v:2.4.15843) Walter Gómez: Annoying button position
    The ProWritingAid button is located in the same text box position as the Send button (e.g., in ChatGPT prompts). When the mouse cursor approaches that position, ProWritingAid expands from a small circle to a menu that hovers the button I wish to perform, sometimes it becomes an obstacle.
  • (2023-07-21, v:2.4.15843) Rico Madian: Snippets
    Hi there! Just wanna say that this extension works great. I just wanted to ask if you guys made a change to the snippets function? I use Hubspot at work and I've been using the snippet function daily for the past 7 months, but recently (in the past 3 days or so), whenever I'm trying to write emails (through hubspot) and choose to use a snippet, the font size is always 1 above the usual, which makes it annoying when I have to highlight the entire quote and change the font size down every time, especially when I'm working on 40+ emails on a busy day. (specific example: My company emails always use Verdana with a font size of 10, but when I add a snippet, regardless of where it is in the body of the email, it's a font size of 11). On the Snippets tab itself, I've always kept the font size as 'normal' with the 'serif' font, and it's been working great up until a few days ago. If there's a way for me to fix this issue, or there if isn't, please do let me know. Thanks in advance!
  • (2023-07-02, v:2.4.13685) Bonnie J Arthur: problems with PWA
    the only times the app works right is in email. I have windows 11 and need it to work in all other programs, particularly in Atticus. Even this page didn't work as expected. In trying to write an email I was rudly interupted by your request for a review. So knowing the trouble I have had since I bought it months ago, even though I was irritated by the interuption, I decided to do so. And what do you think? there was no place to write a review, only reviews that wrer already written. And. as you can see I deliberitly left mistakes to see if it worked here. It did not. Please refund my money until you get it working again. I was told by Dave Chessons that PWA was better than Grammerly but, as you can see, it is deffenitly not.
  • (2023-06-22, v:2.4.12481) Roy Rawlins: NO program

  • (2023-05-11, v:2.3.65535) Ilethas Viremar: Addon makes page elements lose focus
    In some pages, after things load in, the addon makes the focused element become unfocused. To give an example: 1. Press Ctrl + t to open a new tab 2. type "google.com" into the address bar and load the page 3. google.com loads in and search box gets automatically selected. Start typing quickly. You'll notice that after a brief delay, the search box gets deselected after the addon finished doing whatever it's doing – its own initialization routine, probably. 4. If you try the same with the addon turned off, you'll be able to continue typing without interruptions This is a very annoying problem for me, because I like to quickly search for things this way using only the keyboard. This issue forces me to reselect the search box with my mouse cursor. Is it possible to somehow remedy this issue? Apart from that, I really enjoy using this tool. More than Grammarly and Language Tool, in fact.
  • (2023-04-09, v:2.3.56387) Markus Horner: I cannot get my document back up on the screen so I can finish editing the grammar.

  • (2022-12-19, v:2.3.40000) Mark Dame: System load problems
    Since the last update to the Chrome plugin, Chrome has been sluggish and I've had a high system load. Disabling the ProWritingAid plugin fixes the load issues. This happens on both of my Macs, one running macOS 13.1, the other running macOS 10.14. Both are running Chrome 108.0.5359.124. I've verified the problem is with the ProWritingAid plugin: as soon as I enable the plugin, Chrome slows down to the point of being almost unusable. As soon as I disable the plugin, it responds normally. I did not notice any issues before the last update.

When I attempt to use the Chrome extension, it takes me to a web page & asks me to upload my doc or start typing. This is not the "seamless" integration I expected. Is this the way the app is supposed to work & I misunderstood, or is there something glitchy happening? Thank you.

    Hello from beautiful Montana, USA I am editing an Ethical Will for our grandchildren and great grandchildren. It is a long document (220 pages) in a Google doc. I love the editing feature and it is catching things a beta editor missed. However, when I am editing on the last half of the manuscript, when using the editing program, it causes the entire document to freeze. Should I divide the document into two Google docs or is there another idea. I use a MAC and it has just been upgraded to be very, very fast.
