Review by Endless Fantasy
Rated 2 out of 5
by Endless Fantasy, a year agoTwo stars for not including an option to select, an “Any dialect” in the which dialect to use dropdown, or select multiple as a bubble, as either a basic or advanced option.
I consider this a critical feature of any language tool, especially a spell check.
I'd also like to be able to select “Show both as a suggestion” For these features of premium let alone recommend it as a user I want more freedom of expression in how I type, sometimes to type in standard “wrong” variations and even recommend them (The horror!!!):
Wrong Punctuation
Incorrect Word Combinations
Advanced Missing Commas
Foreign Terms
It's also lacking several important features such as custom dictionaries from what I can tell.
There's no excuse for not loading from standard formats for this.
Review was edited using this software.
The software also disguises telling you about "Advanced" errors, as a form of very blatant advertisement, and front-loads its AI paraphrasing, and rewriting system as much as it reasonably can without impacting the user experience.
As a user I don't want this, I don't want to know if I made an advanced spelling mistake, because I know that The software does not support that because I read the page, I expect no scanning, not ad's for scanning disguised as good faith showcasing of your product, or the user's failures.
It needs to be a default off option like "Enable scanning of user text for premium features, to warn user about their mistakes" would be ideal.
There's not even any options clutter yet, good work, but its not configurable enough.
Id say my review rating is: Stalker HoC's reception.

- Rated 3 out of 5by Nova, 4 hours agoSometimes can give a lot of good fixes and suggestions in replacing phrases, but I've been encountering a lot of incorrect markings. It will say to capitalize a word, specifically at the start of a new line even when it's not a new sentence (not even the start of a new paragraph). When I "add to personal dictionary" it remembers for some time, then completely forgets afterwards, telling me to change it again.
- Rated 1 out of 5by AmkiTakk, 5 days agoExtension is now premium-only. A shame, because I was a consistent user before then, even getting premium once or twice when I could afford it. Unfortunately, I have other things I need to pay for, and a spellchecker is very much not a priority. I will be getting back to my browser's default spellchecker.
