• Café Life is the Colony's main hangout, watering hole and meeting point.

    This is a place where you'll meet and make writing friends, and indulge in stratospherically-elevated wit or barometrically low humour.

    Some Colonists pop in religiously every day before or after work. Others we see here less regularly, but all are equally welcome. Two important grounds rules…

    • Don't give offence
    • Don't take offence

    We now allow political discussion, but strongly suggest it takes place in the Steam Room, which is a private sub-forum within Café Life. It’s only accessible to Full Members.

I've purchased the premium version of ProWritingAid, for use with editing my work, and found the desktop version (on a Mac) is extremely slow.

Has anyone else had similar experience, or views on the software in general?
 
I'd be interested to hear what others think as I'm considering buying it for PC. I did test out a trial version and had no issues with it being slow. I think it's an excellent editing tool, but remember, not every issue it flags up is correct - it still requires a human to check the suggested change.
 
Doesn't look like anyone else uses it!!! Are you still having the same 'slowness' issues? Are there any other niggles you have?

I'd like to buy it when I get through the structural edit of my novel - then it's down to editing etc
 
Occasional Grammar Check bugs ... it might be more stable on Windows. I have to say that it has helped my writing immensely. I just have a few niggling issues.
