I like that it measures as I write.

It's a good gauge and consistent way of writing for a large audience. Makes my writing very accessible. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I use the web client and don't really integrate it with anything else; so I copy and paste. it's not so convenient Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Hemingway is good at relentlessly pushing you to simplify your writing. If clarity is your only criteria, use this tool. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Ultimately, I don't like how my writing "sounds" after I've run it through Hemingway. Its suggestions are just too ... "caustic"... for my tastes. I still use this app for policy writing because it undeniably makes writing clearer. However, I won't use it for anything even vaguely conversational. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Hemingway is incredibly easy to use. I think that's the best part of it. Just paste the content or write it there in the box & it will show its readablity score, grammar and every thing for a perfect content. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I have found nothing to dislike about this tool. It has always made my content look perfect. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's a simple and straightforward tool. Just paste in your content and find out how well it scores in SEO readability. It's helpful if you're a content manager or SEO manager. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It sometimes marks sentences as too long or unreadable so I have to take it to Wordly and rephrase them. So I must use 2 different tools instead of one. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like the fact that Hemingway helps me to improve my sentence structure and reduce fluff. It also grades my reading and helps me to know if I am still within the required range or off. I also like the tab that is on the right that shows you your readability, number of adverbs, if you have used passive voices and the number of difficult sentences.

The fact that the Hemingway app needs external tools to correct grammar. Hemingway also loads slowly on my computer when using the Edge browser and sometimes it does not align sentence structure well for a none native English speaker. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Hemingway editor is really an advanced editor which is available online for free and we have the option to purchase the software and use it on our pc. The unique feature of "Publish directly to WordPress & Medium" is the feature I like the most. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes Hemingway editor is not friendly especially when we need a quick draft and at that time Grammarly seems to be good. Hemingway needs some improvements in its user interface Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The Hemingway Editor makes it easy to tailor written content for my intended audience. I love being able to see the readability of what I'm writing based on grade level. The multi-color highlighting of different issues like number of adverbs, passive voice, and difficulty of reading, make me a better communicator and helps make sure that my end reader can grasp the concept quickly and easily.

(Plus, I used it to write this review) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I'd love to see more actionable recommendations of how to fix content but as a free tool, it's well-rounded. While there is a desktop app, the purchase mechanism is complicated by individual editions released vs. a subscription or continuous update model. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Hemmingway is a simple to use app with a decent set of tools and comes at a reasonable price. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Hemmingway would be alright for simple evaluation of your writing but I find it too simple. It also doesn't integrate directly into software I use like other options Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The web interface is super easy to use to paste text, format, check style, and see suggestions. The formatting tools have improved a lot since I started using Hemingway (~5 years ago, I think). All suggestions are clear and contextualized helpfully with the color-coding and dropdowns. I love the ability to switch from writing to editing mode, so you can write clean and then turn on the edits/suggestions. Built-in word counter, time to read, and other basic things are all there and helpful as well. I'll have more on this in the Dislike section, but I think it can be very helpful in an academic setting to help people cut out the jargony, overly-formal academic-ish language that creeps into some emails/communications.

As the title says, the tool doesn't run a comprehensive grammar check a la Grammarly, Bartleby, etc. - but for free, without a sign-in, this is just fine. I think its use does require careful consideration; I wouldn't recommend this to my creative writing students or faculty, but for disciplines or jobs that need to state their points clearly, the style can be helpful. I don't think the goal should be to homogenize writing styles, but aiming for clarity and communication never hurts. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
