did grammarly update?

i'm working on a paper and i like running it through the ai detector just to make sure im not sounding robotic or anything, but today i went to open it up and for one, it looks different. also, where it said before it would check for plagiarism AND ai, now it only says plagiarism. is it still checking for ai because i liked how straightforward it was before with saying __% ai? i also liked how small it was before

Unable to get in contact with Grammarly support

Is anyone else experiencing this issue with customer support not responding?

Long story short, I was charged €144 for an unused Grammarly Pro subscription. That money was meant for another important expense, and I'm an absolutely broke student who can't afford the unexpected charge at all.

I don't believe I received a reminder email beforehand. I opened a support ticket over 3 days ago, but I still haven't received a response and can't seem to get hold of anyone.

Has anyone been through something similar or have any tips on how to get a response? I'd really appreciate any advice.

Writing Fiction - Too Many New Rules

How do I get Grammarly in MS Word to STOP insisting on inserting a colon and a semicolon? Also, why did it switch to the new algo?

TIA

Does this extension or any like it have a single action to just let it make all changes it recommends? (I use LanguageTool and don't see this feature)

It could lead to your content being messed up, but probably not. With language tool, I find myself quickly skimming everything that is marked by the tool and then just rapidly clicking the button to make all the changes. Rarely is it ever wanting to make a change I wouldn't want it to make. And if it did, it wouldn't be the end of the world. I don't use tools like this so haphazardly for anything business related.

I would really like an option to be able to just have a hotkey or something that would make all the recommended changes at once. It would save so much time.

Do any of you know if this exists? Thanks.

Ghosting/See Through

I have a Google doc with multiple tabs and the Grammarly prompts from other tabs are showing through almost like the previous tab is semitransparent. How do I get this to stop? It’s not functionally an issue but it’s annoying.

Why can't I just have the program I paid for?

It's absolutely infuriating that I paid for a service that didn't demand I use its terrible AI features but am stuck with something I don't want to use.

I want a sidebar with grammar suggestions, not a conversation with an AI bot training on my data.

What a terrible decision to destroy a formerly useful tool.

Is my Grammarly just glitchy, or has it been acting up lately?

For the past few months, Grammarly has been declining heavily for me. First, it was the pro suggestions. I don't have Grammarly Pro, but it still highlights what it wants to fix. But it gives me 2 free samples a day...and half the time they don't make sense? Like, even the actual software acknowledges that they don't make sense. If I let it do its changes, it highlights the exact same sentence to revert it back.

Then there's the general spellchecker stuff. It's been trying to paste new words in the middle of existing ones, completely changing the context of a sentence by suggesting new words, and more. It is especially having trouble with punctuation. It keeps telling me to get rid of a single quotation mark, but not the other (I know there are different quotation marks, but I checked and it's not a formatting issue). It's been suggesting I get rid of commas or add them in places that don't make sense.

It just feels weird because I've used Grammarly for years. I've never had problems like these before, much less to this degree. It still works great as a spell checker since it catches random stuff my base spellcheck doesn't, but I've been having to sort through incorrect suggestions that don't seem to go away.

How do I make this widget go away forever?

Grammarly works great in the places I want to use it: any and all text interfaces. But this thing on the side of my computer that covers buttons when I have something at that edge of the screen won't go away, and seemingly. (on purpose?) has no setting to remove it. Is there any way? I don't want to uninstall Grammarly. I just don't want it to be front and center in my working life.

Not everything has to be a platform. Sometimes you can just make a useful and valuable tool that is a good citizen within the operating system.

144€ charge

I subscribed for the free account and Grammarly charged me 144€ a week after. I saw that this happens very often to people. On their website they ask you again for the CC info when you are submitting a ticket but how can I trust them now? And how can I get my refund ?

macOS battery drain

I am experiencing an unreasonable amount of battery drain from the macOS Grammarly app, which is always running in the background. Is anyone else experiencing this?

Feature request: auto-detect American vs British English instead of making you set it manually

Not sure if this has been brought up before, but it'd be super useful if Grammarly could just detect which dialect you're writing in based on the words you use, rather than having you go into settings every time.

Or at the very least, have two preferred profiles.

Right now if you switch between documents (one for a US client, one for a UK client) you have to manually flip the dialect setting each time. Also the AI suggestions seem to just default to American English regardless of what you've set, which kind of defeats the point.

Would love to see this addressed. Anyone else running into this?

I can't find the Improve impact feature on the website

I'm probably going to feel silly for not figuring this out. I've been using Google Docs for most of my writing, but I'm trying to use the website for more serious projects. Now, despite its flaws, I like the Improve the impact feature, but I don't know where it is on the website doc editor. There are so many more buttons than there are on the other websites.
