Shame it wonāt run on mac os
Yes, Iāve used it on my Mac for a long time and found it really helpful. It will check your written work and explains any mistakes. I check everything I write and itās so reassuring and encouraging when it accepts things without alteration. You learn best by having a go and making mistakes.
An essential tool - I wouldnāt be without it. Beats the Microsoft in-built Welsh grammar/spellcheck on a number of counts, and gives a little explanation why something might need to be changed as well. Like any computer grammar checker, it needs to be used carefully (itās not infallible!) but definitely the best tool for anyone producing Welsh text.

Itās a great tool to add to your kit, and can be really useful for spotting missing āmutationsā etc, but itās not infallible as @sara-peacock-1 pointed out.
I sometimes use it when I have a doubt about some grammatical point - I put the version I think it should be, and it gives me the āno errorā result, so then I change it to be what I think should be incorrect, and it still gives me the āno errorā result, which doesnāt help

I have tried to download this to my MacBook air. I get message that this 32 bit app is no longer compatible with present or future Mac OS software. It needs to be updated by the developer.
Just in case others are having problems.
