  • Grammarly

3/11/22

I found some anglophone Canadians with English as their mother tongue use Grammarly. Inspired, some four years ago, I installed Grammarly on my desktop, phone and tablet system with yearly payment and constantly used it without a break.
Now, I wonder how did I write earlier without Grammarly!
Pros: Grammarly is extremely helpful; the app guides step by step through writings for any mistake, giving an overall impression of how the reader would take the writing.
Cons: Expensive; they are unwilling to give a discount. I had to pay the full $139.95 on Aug 22,2021, for the latest Premium renewal despite my request as a senior with limited funds.

In October 2021, I just tried to see how Lumosity works, but in every step, the pressure was enormous to subscribe with payment - and? Their subscription renewal is automatic! I subscribed on Oct 28,2021, paying $47.20; through - Google Play. Soon I became frustrated as it did not seem to work for the purpose it claimed to work.
Meanwhile, I saw on the Internet that Lumosity had been fined millions of dollars as its claims to enhance brain function were false, as the experimental results showed.
The games are nominal - no brainstorming as in other proven games like Sudoku and so on. The game I had tried most was about the twenty-nine train. Towards the beginning, the trains are too slow; at the end, they are extremely fast, making the game useless to brain exercising. I wrote them to adjust the trains' speeds to make the initial ones faster and the later ones slower. They said they would look through it in a reply, but they did nothing.
I don't think they would refund my one-year subscription, but I stopped the automatic renewal from being on the safe side.
From my experience, there is no reason for me to recommend this expensive app for any user.

It helps my grammar and helps me with things I didn't even know I spelled wrong!
