Rated 4 out of 5
by Firefox user 15243425, 7 years agoI'm not using it for long, but it seems to work very well, it also helps in writing not only in fixing grammar errors, but also warns you about duplicate words and other little stuff (I guess the pro version is even better).
Not only it does work well, but is also very pleasant to look at, both the configuration page and the little pop up when you want to fix the words etc... I love the style!
Sadly it does not work in every fields, like for example Google search bar or the one where I'm writing the review! This is a little bit ironic
Edit to answer: I didn't know about mozilla limiting them on the site, but I think if it could be possible to have the spellcheck even for those text field (maybe with a settings to disable them?).

posted 7 years agoIt doesn't work on addons.mozilla.org because Mozilla limits all add-ons so they cannot work on this site. The reason it doesn't work on the Google search bar is because it only works on multi-line fields.

- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 20095169, 3 hours agoit worked great until it was decided to charge for it.. I'm removing it..
- Rated 1 out of 5by sushigal007, a day agoMuch the same complaint as everybody else, they took a decent free spellcheck, added a bunch of 'premium' AI 'features' for a free trial, and then locked even basic functionality behind a paywall. I'll be switching to another spellchecker, even if that's just typing everything in LibreOffice first and pasting it over.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 20093219, a day agoLike others have said, it used to be great until they decided to go payware.
- Rated 1 out of 5by gmonly, 2 days agoWas real helpful before you had to pay for it. Now it is useless for me, I can not afford to pay for this, I will be removing this add-on and putting on my list of not to ever add again, this will also be for the Learneo Services, because they will drop you like they just did with this add-on.
- Rated 1 out of 5by portal cake, 2 days agoThis used to be a good extension that I used on a regular basis.
Although it wasn't perfect and I had to add a lot of words to the dictionary, it still did its job.
But after they made it completely paid, it became absolutely useless. - Rated 1 out of 5by June, 3 days agoWent from being a wonderful tool to now only usable if you're a premium user. It's a terrible change no matter the reason. I will be uninstalling and finding another spell checker.

- Rated 1 out of 5by Maka, 4 days agoC'est devenu payant... je désinstalle et je retourne en mode gramanazi.
- Rated 1 out of 5by bbeeohazardd, 5 days agoWas great until it forced me on a "premium trial" without even notifying me and then wouldn't even let me go back to the regular version and I was forced to uninstall. Real scummy.

- Rated 2 out of 5by Golfy, 5 days agoI know that open source don't means free/gratis. But I dislike the way this product become less acurate in the time and how marketing justify why browser plugin will be a premium functionnality. As a teacher, I was advising my students to use it... now, I'll advise them to use Grammalecte.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 14337437, 5 days agoThey want me to upgrade to premium so that I can still use it. I don't do subscriptions tho. Good riddance then.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 20083741, 6 days agoI've been a big fan of this one for a few years but seeing that they've made it a paywalled extension. a SUBSCRIPTION, at that. I am now looking for a new grammar and spell checker.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Tsaghira, 6 days agoThe extension itself works great. My rating is based on the fact that they are switching entirely to being a paid service only. I will be removing the extension.
- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 6772518, 6 days agoI rarely need a grammar checker these days, but I have found almost all of the suggestions I get in "picky" mode — particularly when I am writing something a bit more formal than a text — very reasonable. The fact that I probably "only" use about 10-20% of them should be taken in the context that I have used other grammar/spell checkers and rarely take their suggestions at all!

- Rated 1 out of 5by Sérgio Henrique S P, 6 days agoRealmente a extensão é ótima, mas, agora, ficou paga, após 14 dias de uso. Ainda não tem outra aqui no Firefox, mas já tem para Chrome.
