- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 15844774, a year agoA free spell checker now charges for spell checking! They highlight misspelled words, but you'll have to go to a search engine to find the correct spelling yourself; no, I'll find another spell checker!
NOTE:
The developer responded, "That's not true." I know my experience, but the popup bubble always says Basic Account and offers no corrections! Every single time, I had to go to duckduckgo.com to find the correct spelling. If Language Tool has decided to back off it's irritating policy, I don't know because I'm no longer using them.Developer response
posted a year agoThat's not true. LanguageTool offers corrections for almost all words. For rare names, there might not be any suggestion.
UPDATE: You might be looking in the wrong place. If you click on words underlined in red, you will get suggestions in most cases, no matter whether you're in premium mode or not. - Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 13548534, a year ago
- Rated 1 out of 5by Arche151, a year agoA closed-source extension that is asking for access to all my data from all websites is a privacy nightmare. It's also a huge disappointment, as the add-on used to be open-source.

- Rated 1 out of 5by just, a year agoIt does not work with the Bulgarian language. It recognizes it as Russian. You have an option for Bulgarian but it does not work.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 13289150, a year agoNo clear instructions for adding this add on to a android Firefox browser. Can't do a thing with it.

- Rated 1 out of 5by Nicolas, a year agoIt misses many basic grammar errors. I also don't like the message "we found 'issues' but pay to find out what they are" can't be turned off.

- Rated 1 out of 5by piorunz, 2 years agoWhile it is working in normal circumstances, this addon breaks eBay! When listing new item for sale, eBay form is blocked from working, and typed formatted text does not translate to HTML and item description remains empty. This breaks even existing eBay listings, when you click to edit a listing, click text field, description is completely gone, submitting listing with changes will cause entire text gone! Please be careful when working with big text fields, this addon is not compatible with everything!

posted 2 years agoSorry, we cannot reproduce this issue yet. Could you post the bug description and a screenshot to our support? You can find the address at https://languagetool.org/legal. - Rated 1 out of 5by Rofii, 2 years agoTyped a few sentences, it corrected a few errors, then told me I needed to pay for premium to detect any further errors.
Premium might be worth it for some people, but for me it's not that serious. I can live with the occasional grammar mistake. - Rated 1 out of 5by Davi, 2 years agoNão está funcionando no Firefox. Utilizo essa extensão em todos os navegadores que uso a anos, é a melhor.
Mas infelizmente no Firefox ela não funciona em nenhum campo ou documento de texto.Developer response

- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 16265724, 2 years agoNot much use, doesn't detect grammar issues and has very limited options for guessing what you were trying to type. Turned it off almost immediately.

posted 2 years agoIt seems to be working for everybody else, so please contact us via email (see https://languagetool.org/legal) or in our forum at https://forum.languagetool.org. - Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 14108982, 2 years agoThe A.I. which runs their services, would fail in a high school paper. Even the people that work for LT can't run the same issues I face using this service. Bottom line, don't rely on others to write better. This is only a tool. Never rely on it completely.
