Ginger Writer Reviews

I had to write a school paper and GingerWriter helped me create and turn in an error free paper! I used it in school a couple times but I had never used the actual app before. I've seen many advertisements about Ginger and I kept thinking “ GingerWriter can’t do all that, it’s all for the ad”. Seeing GingerWriter actually work, I was surprised at how good it was. It spell checked all my writing in seconds and even gave me many different ways to write the same sentence.

I think that PAGE grammar checker really helps with my writing. I tend to make a lot of simple mistakes but after I got GingerWriter I definitely had fewer grammar errors😊! Even at my age, it made me realize how often I misspell certain words. One thing that I really like about this is that if you make an error, it will correct the error, but also give an explanation of why something should or shouldn't be used. When I’m texting someone it corrects things for me, it even adds punctuation if I forget to.

Overall I think that everyone needs GingerWriter. I believe that it can be very useful to encourage young writers, help with school assignments, or even business professionals. I like that it’s free, quick, and easy to download and use.

I think that it’s amazing so far and I get everything I want from it. Keep up the good work! 👍

I’ve just downloaded and used Ginger first time to polish a report I wrote. It makes magic and it works smoothly. Every section of GingerWriter works, as it promised. Even this feedback I wrote, I checked and processed through Ginger. As well, it’s a great app, it is smooth with iPad pro’s split screen function. I used it side by side with Pages and again, no problem, nothing, nada! As an ESL professional, I think Ginger became my permanent writing tool. Nevertheless, I will continue to monitor and update my review. I’m curious about those one-star reviews and why they had a problem with Ginger. For now, 5-star for GingerWriter , kudos for the developers and yes, solid recommendation for all curious prospective users. Yes, it’s worth the five bucks I spent. Go ahead and try it yourself.

The Ginger-piloted AI upgrade is a great improvement over the previous version. This release changes the entire sentence to remove the erroneous syntax. The old version simply substituted one or two words in the phrase without checking the syntax. Great program!

It's an amazing writing app! It gives several suggestions to change a sentence. I've been using it for two years and find it helpful in writing a sentence when I feel lazy. Synonyms and Translators now work very well after several updates. I find GingerWriter essential even when I'm emailing friends.

Fully paid for version.
I’m on iPad Pro 10.5
iOS 11.1.1
*TIP* If crashes, reopen app, then long press, choose paste *BAM* all your work, up to the crash point should be back.

3 stars because LAGGY, CRASHES OFTEN, AND KEEPS MOVING AWAY FROM MY AREA I AM EDITING IN. FIX THESE DAMNED THINGS PLEASE.

MY ORIGINAL POST:
I spent over two hours editing, crashed and didn’t save my work, nothing there after I re-launched GingerWriter . I’m wiring this review off that energy.

The whole time I was editing, don’t know if this mattered or not, I was in landscape mode, editing a certain portion of my document.

The whole time, non stop, GingerWriter keeps moving the field of view away from where I am editing, on its own, just moving to the next area of the document needing editing or whatever.

That’s cool - but WAIT until I get there. I shouldn’t have to fight GingerWriter and keep bringing the view back to where I AM editing the document. After all that, it crashes. I went back there and hit paste, and it was all my work right up to the crash!

MIRACLE! Dev needs to make Poole aware of this life saver, I almost went back and copied the old version. That was VERY close.

Laggy, SUPER LAGGY.
Rome Total War the game has HUNDREDS of AI scripted soldiers on the battlefield. No where near as laggy as this.

GingerWriter is great and I used this most of the time when I write to my friends, sites and work plus the added bonus of this one time payment. This doesn’t have capability to piggyback on your text, FB, tweeter, Instagram when your writing something. It’s not like other grammar checker they can piggyback I’m your text and check while your typing and giving suggestions. If you write you need to open GingerWriter and write there then you copy and paste from GingerWriter to the place you want to to post your messages. It’s a time consuming since most of us are writing on the spot. But if you don’t mind doing this it’s a great app.
To the developers please update your app. I hope you can do the same like grammarly piggybacking in the text.

Ginger is the first text to speech app that I actually use. The deal breaker for all the others? They ignore punctiation and sound like a single never ending run on sentence. This makes Ginger understandable. She mispronounces some words. The way she pronounces "detention" is strange. Sometime she pronounces words like "read" wrong for the context. These errors are rare and do not make GingerWriter unusable. I find it very annoying that when I hit my power button and put my phone in my pocket, Ginger stops speaking. I believe this prroblem comes from Apple's iOS rather than GingerWriter . I have Syri set to a male voice, because a female seems so misogynistic. Ginger offer's no choice, but she is the only text to speech app I understand, so I keep her.

Hard to say how I like it but I am writing this to stop the feedback message from popping up every minute or so. My one issue so far was in a long piece of text from a document. It was slow and cumbersome to proofread it all and once done I’d have to keep rescrolling to the top to edit things one at a time. Every correction sent me back to the bottom. Very tedious. And if I hit some features it would recheck the whole document again, causing me to watch the spinning wheel over and over. I want to really like it and have high hopes. Just hope these issues can be addressed in an update and make my purchase worthwhile. Update: the grammar function is not catching poorly written phrases, sentences without punctuation, or the need for a question mark. What’s that about?

Friend of mine highly recommended on Aly and I decided to have a session with her. Hands down- it was one of my best experiences I ever had!
On that day I was in such a grumpy mood and she Totally changed that mood. I felt super relaxing and very happy!
Also, pictures from my childhood showed up from my subconscious mind, things that ignored and I feel like I can take care of it now !
Thank you so much Aly! Can’t wait for the next Session!(:

What a waste of time. I've used ginger for a while and tried working around the bus that would randomly shift where my curser is typing. Then trying to edit anything is impossible. It's seriously buggy and there's no way to disable the autocorrect as you type function. Inexplicably, there are no settings that can me modified at all, even though there's a settings menu. I'm very disappointed in GingerWriter. I tried using it but would often get very frustrated as it turned what I'm typing into something a jumbled mess that I can't easily correct. It will autocomplete a word as I'm typing it, then autocorrect the second part of the word that I kept typing into something completely wrong. How anyone could find GingerWriter useful is a puzzle to me.

I’ve previously bought GingerWriter , a long time ago before the premium subscription, and now I don’t have access to GingerWriter features. GingerWriter support team doesn’t help me either. + Update: thanks for your support and for paying your attention to this issue. I received one year of free subscription to GingerWriter . But much better solution is not to have subscription option that I didn’t agree on from the beginning and just to have access to GingerWriter . Anyways thank you for attempting to resolver the issue.

I love the desktop version and it allows you to incorporate it in majority of apps. I decided to try it for iOS and was disappointed to find that it did not come with an option for keyboard. This should be on the top of your list to add and correct because as great as this program is, people want efficiency and having to type in one app and then copy into another is not efficient. Can you please work on adding this feature.

Thanks

Seems to close and freeze whenever it wants since the most recent update (running iOS 10.3.3 on iPhone 7 Plus 256gb).

Also REALLY ANNOYING to consistently get pop-ups asking me to rate GingerWriter !! I paid for a full version app with NO ADS!! That should INCLUDE ads for YOUR company! If I want to review GingerWriter at any time, I will give a review. I try to avoid leaving negative and horrible reviews of apps if possible. I wait and give developers time to update and solve the problems with their app, until there is something nice to say about it! But since your stupid pop-ups refuse leave me alone unless I give a review, here is your review. I hope you enjoy it!

I love GingerWriter, it helps me out a lot and I really enjoy the fact that I can use it offline. I use it on my phone when out on the road, GingerWriter to me was Worth every penny and I’ve never even used the other things including the rephrase and the other things but I love,love, love GingerWriter I would recommend it to my friends!😃

I don’t ever pay for apps, so I use the free version of this and I think it’s very helpful.

ONE THING TO NOTE: save your work often, because GingerWriter does crash sometimes. It’s not hard to save your work though, all you do is press the “save” button in the top right corner. I do it about every 5 mins — and no problem.

I’ve used Ginger in the past. Purchased GingerWriter but I’m unable to copy a word or a section. Any attempt to paste work done in Ginger in another app, brings the entire document.
I’ve also had corrections bring double words. Many documents I’m unable to scroll to the bottom. Any keyboard covers the work. This happens in portrait or landscape. I had to close GingerWriter down completely and reopen it again.
The time I was looking to save in editing is lost in work-arounds.
I’m working on an iPad Pro 2nd Gen. This could be a bug with either the iPad or iOS 12.

I have tried other spell checker, grammer apps but fail when it comes to using my bluetooth Apple Keyboard which I use a LOT on my iPad. So the best thing is it Actually works with my bluetooth Apple keyboard on iPad! But all the functions are awesome, so helpful in so many applications. Thank You so much!

English is my second language, I always have to double check my text or email and even when I think they are perfect. GingerWriter finds things and correct them.
I used to use grammaly on my PC and I can say with confidence this is better.

I've had it change stuff that didn't make sense. it also keeps glitching as I try to scroll down. besides that. I like how I canyon read to you. makes looking for mistakes easier

also, I understand you want us to review GingerWriter . but a reminder ever 3 minutes is a bit much, that alone deserved to lose a star. give me a chance to even use GingerWriter .

its comands are really sensitive. if i touch the screen wrong it starts scanning everything again. gets a bit annoying,

I’ve recently purchase GingerWriter for a research essay, it works well , but I still have errors. For example, Ex. I love To walk in the park. Yes, it will give rephrasing samples , but the (T) would still be capitalized. Also, a suggestion, maybe you have this on the website, but is there a plagiarism detector currently available ? It would be very helpful. I will change my rating if only I receive an answer and the bugs are fixed.

pretty good. i read the comment right below saying that it would actually give you explanation when something is off but it does not. and i feel like it would have been better if they would fix it instantly as I type just like grammarly. rather me having to type in GingerWriter and copy it and paste it again.

First, GingerWriter is extremely handy. That said, it needs a way to remove the translate panel. I use GingerWriter in “half screen” mode a lot when editing large documents, the problem is, the translate panel just takes up too much space and it makes GingerWriter less usable. If a setting could be added to disable the translation panel, that would be an EXTREMELY big help.

Of note, I am not sure I have ever needed GingerWriter to translate something, in fact, that feature was a bit of a surprise. Sure, I suppose it could be helpful in some circumstances, but I am not sure how many people editing a document are going to need a translator. Thus, having the option to hide it seems like a natural one.

Other than that, GingerWriter is really quite good at what it does, and it has become an indispensable tool in my workflow.
