My App Review
by the VisiGrammar author
This writing tool is an unintrusive "teacher" that corrects your grammar agreement in emails and online forms as you write in German. It appears in every text-box, right where you need it.
⋅
If it shows an under-squiggle, you have a second to visualize your grammar mistake. In one click: see the problem, see the diagnosis, and correct it.
⋅
This is real-time German grammar assistance, and it removes the stress of writing in another language. You will get things done while you reinforce correct grammar usage.
⋅
Usefully, the stand-alone notepad function can remember your often used snippets (like notes for the delivery service).
⋅
I use it for both German and English for all kind of quick correction. Every day. In fact, I wrote this website with it. I use it all day, every day.
⋅
Note: this regards the paid version. The paid features make a big difference.
Note: LanguageTool does not translate. It is strictly a grammar, spelling, and style checker.
∴
Conclusion
Great "teacher", increases writing confidence, useful all day long, multi-lingual, paid features are 100% worth the price. I love it!
