Great to come across this and love that it is available for Chrome and FF - especially as I am a FF user! I also appreciate that we can choose what language we are using e.g. UK English for me. @alexlashkov I would love to be able to report an alternative spelling - I know we can add something to the dictionary and report an incorrect suggestion. In the meantime I am adding this to my resources list for the workshops I teach and to my PH curations.

Finally a really good Grammarly competitor. I've used Grammarly for 4 months and was on the lookout for a another option to test. So far I think it is equivalent to Grammarly in many aspects. Also, it is cheaper. I think Grammarly premium is too expensive, the cost/benefit ratio doesn't justify their price for my typical use.

So, I tried using Textly.ai on my 2018 iPad Pro/iOS. Your web app seems to be NOT optimized for touch and/or iOS. Can’t select text. Can’t undo (only applies to title not main body). It’s all weird and not mapped correctly to the screen. Worked fine for two paragraphs then wen’t crazy on me! Any plans for an iOS/iPad app? I don’t use PC/MacBook anymore, so can’t use the chrome extension. Screenshot of my issues: https://m.imgur.com/a/0tzICyo

@insidenima yep, basically your use case is not that popular for our users based on the stats, so we did not put a lot of resources into optimizing web app for iPad yet. We are planning to release our iOS app soon, it will be a keyboard that you can use to get your writing fixed

@alexlashkov Thanks Alex :) so I will have to use my home PC for trying Textly! curious how it compares to Grammarly, so will give it a try.

@insidenima see my review above. I think the cost/benefit ratio makes Textly.AI the best alternative to Grammarly.

How this works and from where I can install this in my laptop? My grammar is not that good. Whenever I have got essay from my mentor, I used to take help from https://www.aresearchguide.com/p... which is an research paper website. But sometimes, my heart says to write essay on my own. So, I want to improve my grammar and I am sure this will surely help me out.
