"Surprisingly useful, especially for work notes, memos and correspondence"
3.5/5
What do you like best about Hemingway?

This has been really great for improving how succinct and clear my work correspondence has been, even to the point of having colleagues comment on it and letting me know that they have noticed a difference. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Hemingway?

I would not use it in terms of a long paper or write up, as it does not easily correct in the software I am using, but easy to copy and paste into the app for things like emails, memos, notes and even quick notes in group chats. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Hemingway makes writing terser"
5/5
What do you like best about Hemingway?

Hemingway is brutally realistic about how complicated your writing should be. You could argue its literary merit, but for a business context, it's bang-on. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Hemingway?

To be useful, text must eventually leave Hemingway. Copy-and-pasting text back and forth between Hemingway and the destination app is tedious. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Good App to view your grammar errors"
3.5/5
What do you like best about Hemingway?

The app offers a very colorful way to view the different grammar mistakes by highlighting them in a different color. It also gives a readability score to understand how well we have written. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Hemingway?

A lot times the correct tenses are shown as wrong Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Like Grammarly, but more powerful."
4.5/5
What do you like best about Hemingway?

Hemingway Editor is an excellent tool for editing and reviewing texts. Its AI paragraph interpreter quickly scans your text to find mistakes and provide real-time writing feedback. Compared to Grammarly, Hemingway Editor has all the features of Grammarly for free. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Hemingway?

At times, the text interpretation algorithm may falsely mark certain sentences as incorrect. Additionally, Hemingway may strongly benefit from a web extension to power text interpretation in websites. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Not Great!"
0.5/5
What do you like best about Hemingway?

It's easy to pull up on a browser. That's about it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Hemingway?

It's not a very smart tool. Most of what it tells you is whether your sentence is long and whether you have an instance of passive voice. But even the passive thing isn't 100% accurate. If I was to say, "it's failed," as in, "it has failed," the software doesn't even realize it's passive.

Also, the "hard to read" thing is a joke. I'm not sure how they calculate it, but it has to be a very simple formula. Maybe it just adds up the punctuation marks and words. Not a very accurate indicator of something actually being hard to read.

Anyways, this tool is not very good, and I can't see any reason for using it (besides that it's free). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"It does what it says, but it's not all you'll need"
3.5/5
What do you like best about Hemingway?

The way it has only a few things it checks for is nice. It has a color for each of those, and it highlights things in your document with those colors. You can see what's going on with one look. No need to click on a dozen squiggly underlines. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Hemingway?

Not a complaint about the execution at all, as it does what it says. But the style that Hemingway promotes is not usually the goal I had in writing. And there were many other things I needed to check that had to be done outside of Hemingway. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Basic for the cost"
4/5
What do you like best about Hemingway?

Hemingway will cut through overly wordy writing and passive voice. The interface is easy to use and visually appealing. Making changes within the app itself or in docs is easy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Hemingway?

Hemingway does not offer the full range of tools I've seen in similarly priced services. Depending on your industry it could also lack the nuance need to write not just efficient but strategic text. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Easy to Use Writing Support"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Hemingway?

I find the ease of use and seeing what grammar mistakes are causing issues very useful. In particular, identifying reading levels, and sentence structure improvements. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Hemingway?

No major dislikes. The desktop app is robust although having to jump through hoops to re-install the app is one of my few dislikes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
