Cons
It takes some getting used to typing with the Grammatica keyboard.
There’s no obvious way to opt out of some features, such as automatic predictive typing, without disabling the keyboard.
The Grammatica keyboard can feel intrusive. Importantly, when enabled, the keyboard can access any text you type from email to text messaging and notes and apps.
Downloading the app’s keyboard without enabling full access results in a prompt to “enable full access” right above it whenever you type, which might be bothersome.
Bottom Line: Designed for those who need a little help with grammar, Grammatica comes with potential privacy trade-offs and is best-suited for those who don’t mind the interrupting nature of the keyboard.
