Among the reviews analyzed, Grammarly is widely valued for its grammar and spelling correction, which helps many users, including non-native speakers and students, improve their writing confidence. However, a recurring major complaint is the removal of the Grammarly keyboard in favor of an intrusive floating widget, which many find disruptive and less effective. Technical instability, including crashes and disconnections, further frustrates users. The premium subscription is often considered expensive, with the free version providing limited value. Despite these issues, users acknowledge the app's overall usefulness for polishing text across platforms. It is best suited for those seeking a background proofreading tool rather than a full keyboard replacement.

Common concerns
Removal of Grammarly Keyboard A large number of users are upset that the update removed the Grammarly keyboard, which they found more convenient and functional than the current floating bubble.
Intrusive floating widget The floating bubble frequently gets in the way, covers text, and is difficult to dismiss, leading to frustration and reduced usability.
Incorrect or nonsensical suggestions Many users report that Grammarly often suggests changes that are wrong, change meaning, or insert gibberish, making it necessary to double-check and manually fix errors.
Technical instability and bugs Users experience frequent crashes, freezes, disconnections, and the app turning off randomly, interfering with writing flow and forcing restarts.
