I actually saw no use of the app since it still couldn't pick up my mistakes. I tried grammarly but it doesn't work on mobile devices. I would really love to hear some suggestions.
Check your settings in Microsoft Word. It can be set to spelling only, or grammar and spelling. Mine is set to check both. It definitely picks errors up. You can also fine tune the settings to not check certain things if you want. For example, I have mine set to not mark "passive voice" as an error.

I've been using the Hemmingway (Free browser version) and Grammarly (Premiun) together and it works like a powerhouse.
It's my first time hearing about Languagetool. $54 a year sounds like a steal. I'll check that out.
Is Hemmingway Desktop much better than the browser version? I heard it now costs around $19 bucks to get the desktop version.

I just looked into the Hemingway desktop version. Apparently this year they started a one time fee of $19.99 for it. I got it last year for free.dylz-bookworm wrote: ↑30 Jul 2021, 06:25I've been using the Hemmingway (Free browser version) and Grammarly (Premiun) together and it works like a powerhouse.
