ProWritingAid Reviews: 4.5/5 — Highly Rated

I love how easy it was to integrate ProWritingAid to Word and Google Chrome. I use it all the time and don't write anything without it, from fiction novels to cover letters. The numerous features help with keeping my voice consistent and my words running smoothe.

I don't have a whole lot to dislike. It's not super great at context for a sentence with fiction, but it's still a great tool.

Sometimes I ramble. Sometimes I start sentences with the same word over and over. And sometimes, it's about comma placement (comma splices are not my friend). It helps to see them highlighted in a way that I can comprehend and step back for a second to see what I might be doing wrong.

I like that it catches spelling, grammar, and punctuation errors. Especialy missing commas. Ilike that I can use it in multiple other programs.

I do not like it when it tells me I am misspelling a proper name. I know the name I mean even if it's not the most common sometimes.

It catches errors in stories and books I am writing.

ProWritingAid is incredibly feature rich. You can choose what kind of language (business, casual, academic, etc.) and the suggestions are usually extremely on point. The software is especially great at identifying filler words and helping to streamline copy plus of course any typos!

The flipside of the filler words is that sometimes you want softer language and ProWritingAid will flag a lot of that language. But it's still a good check and not really a con.

I feel more confident when submitting copy that's been checked by ProWritingAid. I know there's no typos, I know it's been cleaned up/made stronger, and it's that additional layer of security that I really appreciate.

Browser integration and the changes suggested in real-time have been indispensable for a Documentation Specialist like me and often helped me complete the articles I need to write faster.

I love ProWritingAid! I can't even think of anything I dislike. I will continue to use and recommend this to everyone, as this has been my secret weapon for writing.

Grammar checking and finding a better way to write content has always been a challenge for writers like me, and this tool has been so helpful in

ProWritingAid does far more than grammar or spelling. It allows you to choose fiction or non-fiction. It allows you to choose genres. It allows you to compare your writing to a best selling author in your genre. It helps you fix sentence structure, find excessive adjectives and adverbs, shows your pacing, shows a graph on sentence length, shows your readability, shows your usage of glue words, and so much more. It's like having an editor in your pocket! And they keep the product updated.

I haven't found a downside yet and I've been using PWA for years.

I'm able to polish my manuscript in far less time. It greatly lessens the time it takes to get your manuscript ready to submit for publication with confidence.

I love that it integrates so easily with my writing programs, especially since they have recently improved their Scrivener integration. Since commas are my nemesis, PWA helps enormously with making my writing clean. I use it mostly for grammar and punctuation, but I also use it sometimes for style, such as finding repetitive sentence starts, passive sentences, and crisper wording. I love that it gives suggestions for alternatives when it comes to style. It doesn't just find things that could be better or are incorrect--it shows you how you could improve it and then lets you decide whether you want to go with option 1, 2, 3 or something else entirely.

Being an artificial intelligence, it can't replace the human eye entirely. Some of the suggestions or corrections are simply wrong, and the program won't always get the small nuances of what you've written. You still need your own judgment and knowledge for a good number of suggestions.

First and foremost, PWA is solving my comma issues. I know some comma rules and can apply them well, but I still get many of them wrong. I also love the style suggestions--it helps me make my writing more engaging, even if I don't always agree with the suggestions. At the very least, it gets me thinking and evaluating my own work on a different level.

I love it's suggestions to improve my article with no grammatical mistakes. Also I can change those words with some consicutive words that can make my article best and very impressive.

Nothing to dislike about this tool. It is doing its services very well and I am fulfilled by it's service.

It solved my problem of thinking about grammatical mistakes. I was a little weak on sentence making. But now I write everything that is in my mind and don't think more because I know ProWritingAid will check and resolve my mistakes and make it perfect.

I like that it has a feature where you can use it as an add in to Microsoft Word!

Can be a bit pricey. A lifetime license can go up to $500 with plagiarism checks. You can only do plagiarism checks 60 times a year.

I'm able to edit my documents professionally using this software.

It helps me find spelling and grammar errors that are missed by MS Word and Google Docs. It has a variety of other reports available, too.

The spelling/grammar checkers are far from perfect. It can also be a bit buggy, especially in longer documents.

I find it useful as a final check while editing. It helps me find errors I missed when first going over the writing. Although it's not perfect, I find it very effective and I will continue to pay for it.

It's easy to use and they have fantastic customer service!

Difficult to scroll to all reports but might be my screen.

It has improved my writing and assists me with thorough grammatical editing.

For a little context, I'm an author, so I'm very picky about the things I use to help make my writing as good as it can be. I was sold out for Grammarly (still am, but now only using the free version) until I finally caved and did a two week trial for PWA. This program is robust. It has an extremely comprehensive report that details out the Good, the Bad, and the Ugly of your writing, and there are many different reports you can run if you choose to really drill down into it, which is what I love about it. Grammarly pales in comparison. But here is a fun fact: Grammarly actually works INSIDE ProWritingAid, so you get the best of both! I now use the free version of Grammarly to catch things in the document that PWA doesn't pick up on, so I'm getting two for the price of one. If you're going to do PWA, I would highly suggest getting the Lifetime License (which goes on sale fairly often) because it lasts 50 years. And yes, you're reading that correctly. My suggestion: No matter whether you're an author, blogger, business owner, or CEO, ProWritingAid is what you need.

There is a steep learning curve to using PWA and really maximizing the reports and everything is has to offer, which has frustrated people in the past. I was overwhelmed by it at first until I took some time to look at every report, how it works, etc. and was finally able to get it set up how I like.

I'm not the best when it comes to grammar or knowing where all those pesky commas are needed (cure you!) so that is one of the big things it helps me catch. It also gives me suggestions for where I can strengthen my wording, rephrase passive writing, or when I'm repeating myself on accident. All this in addition to the reports which have helped me drill down into my writing and improve upon it.

I love how simple it is to use, all onem ust do is click on a word and pronto you have the option of correcting your errors. The requirement to click was a feature that I appreciated. I used to use Grammarly and it irritated me how if you moused over things they would pop up. This slight change has been very appreciated. It also makes amazing corrections around the uses of passives. Apparently I have a bad habit of using for too many passives. This helps me to address the problem!

One website I use has issues with the extension. Sometimes prowritingaid randomly decides not to work on Roamresearch, however I think this might be an issue from the browser I use "brave" as I never had the problem on Firefox. One of the other common problems is that some of the "correction lines" which show up under the words do not match. The line will be in a different location to the correction. This may be a resolution issue on my end, as I have a surface book 2 which uses 2k resolution. I have not tested it on another PC to find out.

Correcting overuse of passives! One huge benefit was discovering that I could use prowriting aid with Scrivener. I use Scrivener for book writing. The ability to edit whole books with prowriting aid is something grammarly could never do.

I best like that for a quick pulse check there are comprehensive reports just a click away.

I dislike that document load time is much slower for larger files.

I'm being kept accountable to make my writing clearer.

The fact that it integrates with any app you happen to open. Email, Facebook, etc. Corrects mistakes on webpages as you type. Perfect how you present yourself to others and get this app.

It is a little pricey yet for the money you spend, you are able to present your ideas and thoughts to the world and it will be professional, crisp and polished. It is money well spent.

I have not had any problems that have been solved by using this app, yet my writing skills have improved tremendously. It not only helps with misspellings, but it also corrects uses of punctuation, excessive usage of adverbs, and so much more. You can get a report of your entire body of work directly on the site, and it is amazing. One time while using, I became so absorbed in writing that my laptop died. I was so upset as I lost all my work, but since I had been working on the site directly, I was so happy that when I logged back in, I saw that nothing had been lost! This saved me from starting from scratch and losing all the precious ideas and work that I had just poured into the book I am writing and that alone makes this priceless. I have been able to send professional emails with no errors, as well as facebook posts and reviews on Amazon without errors or improper usage of grammar. I see it also has been having an effect on the way I speak! It truly has helped me in so many ways. The best way to really make use of this program is if you are an author, a student, a professional or just want to improve your way of interacting with others.

Really helpful in finding complex gramatical errors and quickly correcting them.

Free version doesn't function in every online writing field.

I have a terrible habit of using passive voice instead of active voice. ProWritingAid catches that immediately and has been a huge asset in breaking the habit.

The web editor - the variety of dimensions in which you get to edit your text - style, grammar, repeats, diction, transition, etc. It not edits your text for you. Over a period of time you just learn to write better because the editor also gives you overall and specific insights on your writing.

There is nothing I dislike about the editor. It's fantastic.

It makes you better writer over time. Also saves a lot of time while editing long documents. It feels like you have an extra pair of eyes as you proof read.

I like the deep analysis of my writing that ProWrting Aid offers. If you can find a coupon on line, you can get great deals on ProWriting Aid.

The interface is a bit clunky, but it is functional.

I write a weekly blog, and use ProWriting Aid to clean up my writing before posting.

ProWriting Aid has many great features, and it’s constantly improving. I love its readability analysis, spelling, and grammar checker. In fact, I like ProWriting Aid analysis more than I liked Grammarly’s.

I wish ProWriting Aid would provide a Microsoft Office add-on for Mac users. They have an add-on for Windows users.

ProWriting Aid is my favorite writing tool. I love Prowriting Aid so much that I used it as my main editing tool when I wrote a 400+ page book.

My favorite part about this is there is a free version that my students can use at school. I want a tool that sudents can have and use as they move through high school and on to college writing. It is time consuming for me to read their writing at such a close level, and they are not yet adept enough at writing to do it for each other. I like the wummary reports that you get on a piece of writing.

Some of the features only work with the paid version, which can be a disappointment if the feature that you want is only part of the paid version.

So many students do not know what good writing looks like or how to make their writing better. This tool helps students look at their writing with a critical eye and see what they need to improve. This allows students to get a handle on their own wiritng and how they can make their own writing better.

Several features Easy to use Will help to improve any written article, even the ones made from professional copywriters

Multiple language support feature will help to reach more users Wordpress plug in feature will be awesome!

As English is not my native language, It always help me to improve my articles creaated for my blog

It easily flags issues that are easy to miss when going over your work by hand. Has more features and does a better job than competitors. Like their improvement and consistency suggestions.

You already need a good handle on English to decide which suggestions to implement. If you implement all suggestions, you will be putting new errors into your work.

Great, fast proofreading flags to manually review.

The tools offered by ProWritingAid have a lot of beneficial features, such as style ideas, writing reports that present your progress as a writer, and techniques to help us better. It's like having a personal writing assistant who can take care of our entire writing style and make it look more professional all the time.

ProWritingAid's free version is a bit limited at just a 500-word check per trial. Furthermore, it does not have a sentence paraphrasing feature which is much required.

As per my experience, ProWiritingAid has been a valuable software for grammatical corrections to writing style advice. It facilitates a clear and straightforward writing style that helps us create compelling and professional content online.

This is an amazing extension. It has amazing features that help me a lot.

The only bad thing is that if you want the good stuff, you need to copy and paste into a new document in My Home for ProWritingAid

It made me realize how much more there is to writing than just grammar and spelling

I like using the ProWritingAid in their website. I can pull it up within seconds and start writing within their editor without any fuss. I also like their editing tool that we can use as an extension to our text editing applications. It works very smoothly with Google Docs and gives me suggestions that are no where to be seen in standard text editor spell checking features.

It can be distracting sometimes to use ProWritingAid. There are ways to update the types of suggestions you get, but that can be tedious having to constantly configure things to work smoothly for each person.

ProWritingAid gives me a complete tool for sorting out punctuation errors, formatting errors and poor word choices. Ever since I've started writing, I've basically had to correct sentence structure issues and other formatting issues by searching online for tips. ProWritingAid gives me that information in a concise way while I'm writing so I can skip the searches.

It is mostly simple and straightforward to use ProWritingAid. New users can sign up quickly and start using ProWritingAid on their website or through an app extension with common word processing applications like Microsoft Word and Google Docs. I can get spelling and text editing suggestions that are more advanced than the basic spell check features in the word processing applications I use such as Microsoft Word.

I have mostly benefited from ProWritingAid, but one thing I can point out is that there aren't that many editing suggestions that have significantly improved my business writing skills. I still think it's worthwhile to use though since it's better than the default spell checkers I have used.

ProWritingAid has given me a streamlined text editing solution that doesn't take a long time to load when I use it with Microsoft Word or an online word processor like Google Docs. I can save time on finding and making text edits compared to having to go through each paragraph to proofread minor punctuation and grammatical errors.

ProWritingAid is such a simple application to use, either on its own or as an app extension. It's almost like something that works automatically to train us with our writing. Many of the text editing software that we use are very similar to the main ProWritingAid app, so I like that we don't have to do anything overly complicated to learn how to use it. The quality of the writing and style suggestions have been helpful and substantive. They go beyond simple grammatical and punctuation suggestions.

I haven't encountered too many aspects of ProWritingAid to dislike. I think that it's probably not as visually appealing as some other applications like grammarly, but that hasn't really affected me too much using it overall.

I have used ProWritingAid with making my co-workers in order to have fewer writing errors in terms of word choices, formatting, grammar and punctuation. It really reduces the time we have to take to read sentences over again and share them around to have them proof read. Many of the tasks that we would do researching writing information and suggestions is done smoothly within the ProWritingAid system.

ProWritingAid has excellent automated proofreading capabilities. Rather than just being a simple spell check solution, ProWritingAid can help me consider different and potentially more effective writing styles, sentence structure, grammar and word selection. Using ProWritingAid is seamless when I use standard text editing software or a web browser. I like the way the writing suggestions appear, which doesn't get in the way or bother my writing.

I would probably like to be able to have more detailed specifications on how ProWritingAid elements appear on the screen and maybe reject certain suggestions and types of suggestions when I know I probably don't need them. The plagiarism check sometimes misses content.

ProWritingAid helps me to reduce the amount of typographical errors that occur in my writing for documents, emails and in website forms. It's a great way for me to learn how to incorporate more words and helps me to consider alternative sentence structure and proper grammar. I have spent much less time pouring over documents with proofreading duties. ProWritingAid does much of the work for me.

It's awesome that ProWritingAid works in a such a seamless way when I'm typing in my text editor or web browser. The editing suggestions are usually very good and make sense with what I'm writing. The interface is intuitive and doesn't bother me when I type. I was able to start using ProWritingAid in very little time and never really had any problems with its technical performance.

I need an internet connection in order to access its online suggestion database. The for the premium version I use is more than a different writing assistant tool I was considering. Overall though, I don't have too many bad things to say about ProWritingAid.

ProWritingAid has made me a more efficient writer, especially when it comes to specialized business writing. It can offer suggestions about writing styles and helps me to maintain a professional tone that I natural might sway from when I write unassisted. ProWritingAid helps me with standard spelling corrections and for looking up alternative words. When I start to write now, I can focus more on putting general ideas on the page and letting ProWritingAid help to fill in the blanks. I can write much faster that way.

ProWritingAid's versatility is one of the best things about it. It can integrate with many common writing platforms, including the ones I normally use like Microsoft Word and the Chrome web browser. The way ProWritingAid overlays over text makes it a smooth tool that doesn't interfere with my usual writing process. It actually performs many checks that I would normally do on a third-party dictionary, thesaurus or writing reference website.

Sometimes I feel like there are too many suggestions, many of which wouldn't make much of a difference. Overall, it's not that big of a problem, but it would be great if we could customize the amount and types of suggestions we're given in a more precise way.

Though I initially thought it would make me more of a lazy writer, it actually has made me more in tuned with a wider variety of word choices and writing styles. I can also spend less time pouring over punctuation errors that can do serious damage to my professional credibility. Also, it's so versatile that I can even use it now for this review.
