Whether you're typing an email to your boss or writing a novel, grammar and spelling are critical. You need tools that do the heavy lifting, reading over each word for clarity and correctness.
Here are the best spelling and grammar check apps you can use anywhere on various devices and browsers.
Grammarly is best known for being an all-around great app for documents, social media posts, and any other text. The app is available online through the app's website and also includes extensions for Mac and Windows. If you use Microsoft Word, Grammarly also connects directly through the software.
Grammarly Keyword is the app's mobile keyboard extension that works with both iOS and Android devices.
If you're using Grammarly for basic grammar checking, you'll benefit the most from the free version. However, for heavy editing, vocabulary enhancement suggestions, and genre-specific writing checks, Grammarly Premium is for you; it's available for monthly, quarterly, and annual pricing plans starting at $29.95 a month.
What We Like:

- It integrates anywhere you need it, ensuring your grammar is spot-on no matter what you're typing.
What We Don't Like:
- For Mac users who also use Microsoft Word, Grammarly currently doesn't support Word on Mac. You'll have to use the online app or the Safari extension.
WhiteSmoke is a complete grammar checker built for all devices. In fact, Whitesmoke integrates with Mac, Windows, and all available browsers. The mobile app is available on both iOS and Android devices.
WhiteSmoke includes grammar, spelling, style and punctuation checker, as well as a unique translation feature. With full-text translation to and from 55 different languages, WhiteSmoke makes it easy to communicate no matter your location.
