Hemingway App: Editing made easy!
Great writers are also some of the best editors out there. Whether you're writing a blog or a short tweet or a book, you need this app in your Writing toolkit to get that final polish.
Advantages of using Hemingway:
1. It's free! You can start editing as soon as you enter the app. Their app itself is the landing page!
However, you can purchase the desktop version for a small price.
2. It has all the simple functionalities of text formatting on its app.
3. It shows helpful things like reading time, word count, characters, and sentences.
4. One of the amazing features of Hemingway app is that it highlights the "adverbs" you're using.
5. Other features include highlighting passive voice, suggests phrases with simpler alternatives, and it summarizes whether a 4th Grader can grasp your text or not.
6. Also, the app highlights length and complex sentences to make sure it's easily digestible for the skimmers.
Disadvantages of using Hemingway:
1. Would love to test the Desktop app with a trial-version before I give my credit card details. I'm sure they've some good features in there which aren't available on the app.
2. It obviously doesn't have all the powers of Grammarly features. Sometimes, you kinda miss Grammarly while editing on Hemingway.
3. I sometimes spot a mistake when it suggests me not to use adverb.
4. I bet developers can improve upon Hemingway using GPT-3. Editing software is a must for all serious writers and publishers.
