Review by Romed Bucher
Rated 4 out of 5
by Romed Bucher, 5 years agoGreat tool! The Firefox add-on works like a charm, also Google Docs integration is perfect.
But the LibreOffice extension (paid version) is crap! Even when following all the guidelines, it won't work. Some functions do, sometimes - until they crash. But all in all this is a big disappointment, and completely useless.
Maybe it does work with MS Office, but that's not really relevant here.
So, online it's great, offline it sucks! Therefore only 4 stars.
I don't understand why so many people think this should be totally free and use this argument for skipping a star. Nothing is free in this world, and the free version is already excellent for most applications and far more comprehensive than free versions from other companies.
When you are using this professionally, the price is better than fair. When you're using this for fun, be reasonable and appreciate getting great value for nothing in return from your side!

- Rated 1 out of 5by ssicosomatico, a day agoCuidado, utilice por años esta extensión y de pronto se actualizo sin aviso reemplazarse por una aplicación prémium con un periodo de prueba de 14 días. No puedes imponerme algo que no consentí de ninguna forma, eliminada y no recomendada.

- Rated 1 out of 5by adshgaoi;uerhgeoah, 3 days agoAs many others have said, everything is behind a paywall now. Everyone wants subscriptions for everything now when no one has money to afford them. I can't and won't spend my limited funds on a spell-check.

- Rated 2 out of 5by Firefox user 18797470, 4 days agoIt was a brilliant add-on while it lasted, but I cannot justify paying for another subscription at the moment. It does feel like it came without warning!
- Rated 1 out of 5by Nahuel, 4 days agoIt was great while it lasted, but I ain't paying for just using it.

- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 18352473, 5 days agoI enjoyed this extension, a lot. Really helped me catch multiple errors I've made from typing too fast and, unlike Grammarly, it was chill.
And now they're switching to paid version, only.
I wish them luck, hopefully the popping of the bubble won't affect them too much. - Rated 5 out of 5by laarriola, 5 days ago
- Rated 1 out of 5by GayHibiscus, 6 days agoIt moved to a paid subscription model after being free forever. Great quality for the most part, but that's unconscionable.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Isxxc, 6 days agoGracias IA, te cargaste otra gran herramienta, y ni hablemos de la bajeza que fue cambiar a todos los usuarios al modo 'premium' para despues pedir pagar, qué practica tan desleal, bye bye.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 12796543, 7 days agoSuddenly and without warning switch all users to "premium subscription" and make it timed.
Absolutely bait and switch. - Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 17587600, 7 days agoDeplorable. Probably the best spell-checker out there. A least it was. Implemented neural networks into the extention, put all basic features behind the paywall and asked exuberant prices. Nasty work.

- Rated 1 out of 5by Judge_1987, 9 days agoThey decided to put all the functions under a paywall, and they're asking for some kind of wild price.
- Rated 5 out of 5by Sierra, 9 days agoDevient vite indispensable ! Sérieuse aide pour rédiger des textes sans trop se poser de question sur certaines terminaisons. Vraiment super !
