Ginger Writer

I had to write a school paper and this app 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 “this app can’t do all that, it’s all for the ad”. Seeing the app 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 this app 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 this app. 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 the app 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 the app, 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.

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 the app 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 the app. 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.

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 the app. 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, the app 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 this app 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.

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?
