Horrible. To the point of absurdity. I was testing about a half dozen apps and services because of the annual subscription ending with Grammarly and PWA. This was by far the worst one out there. My test documents, same ones tested on all apps/services. Ginger fell so flat I reentered the text, re-cut, and paste. I swore something was wrong, but no. It failed to pick up obvious items like run-on sentence that are almost 100 words long, that are shorter than this review. Just no. And also, the support is horrific. You install Chrome extension but then tell you I don’t support this site. I went to install on Windows. It failed because I was not on at least version 1803, which is Windows 10 release from March 2018. I am on 21H2 which stands for October 2022 version. Dug a bit, this is in the install log … it picks I am running 1603 and then next line (note this may not be 100% accurate if translation happened inside sandbox) … No Firefox plug-in, no Linux support, not sure what sites it works on … Any prior item listing open source is way off base, directly in their TOS they lay out explicitly. Everything is proprietary to where I may have been able to fix the compatibility issue on my device, but per their TOS, no such action can be done that changes anything with the software.
This program tries to install bundleware and almost every button in the settings is an unexpected link that opens up a web browser. The UI in the settings at least on windows 10 is broken where you can't tell whether an option is checked or not. It is incredibly complicated for a super simple concept. When you run the uninstaller it uses language that is designed to confuse users who don't read closely to not actually uninstall the software. This is the most horrendous piece of crap software I have used in quite a while. NOT recommended.
That's good to know. It looks like this software is optimized as an app for tablets (mainly Android) rather than Windows, anyway. The free version I found seems to be a Chrome extension. (Then again I don't run Windows any more, partly because of the muddled mess it has become with applications installs.)
