i have to say that you wrong, yes whitesmoke has some problems , but its much better then word what are you talking about, if you use white smoke as a speller then yes its like word but its a grammar software and it finds  much more grammar mistakes , its nice to do commercials in forums but that is not true what you say , i tried to use grammatik and it doesnt come close to whitesmoke , its not a perfect program but it does better job then any other , but nothink bits the human brain and no software can come close to it but whitesmoke helps me with my grammar very much.

I don't think White smoke can improve english writing skills, but it is an amazing english grammar correction software, you can save more time for editing & proofreading.

It's quite obvious from all the reports that are buzzing  round the Internet that WhiteSmoke is some kind of a SCAM.

Let's hope that  for every fake review, someone will post or blog about  the fraud that it is - Google will pick it  up.

I am convinced you are absolutely correct in thinking it is a scam, as contacting this company is not easy and when they answer it is a totally irrelevant e-mail.
If you want to get back at them report the incidence to the Internet fraud department. In fact we should all report this, at least it will get others off the hook.
The software does nothing you cant do with free programs on-line. The worst part is you have to be connected to the Internet to use it...I am already looking else where for software. I have heard that Systran is a good program, and the thing is it is not as expensive as WhiteSmoke.
So all you folks out there...report the site for fraud to warn off other possible victims...I am sure that this fraud will be punished by the international law.

According  to the overwhelming  complaints on  many forums, it  is clear that WhiteSmoke is some kind of scam. Anyone with  a little knowledge of adverstising  will immediately  notice this from the false claims on their website, and the way  they  do  their marketing  by  spam.

The product  is clearly  desigtned to  make as much money  as possible by  an agressive marketing  campaign in a very short time. the operators will then retire on the money and close down the Whitesmoke product  and its already non-exsitant  support.

The very name 'WhiteSmoke' should clearly  be an indication  of the tongue-in-cheek scam they  are running.

WhiteSmoke is smokeware. Nothing but  smoke.

There a re many  other genuine products on the market which  can be downloaded as real  software applications for  a fraction  of the price.

Try the  downloadable Grammatica at Ultralingua, it  might not  be what  you  are looking  for but  at  least  you  get  a fully functinal ten-day free trial, and it is not  expensive. Ultralingua is an old established firm providing industry  standard linguistic tools for over 12 years. I have been using  Ultralingua software since 1999.

Hi Kate,

I can't tell you what everyone else has experienced, but I'm really frustrated with the company.  I purchased the Creative Writing program back on 10/5/2008.  When they sent me the link for the download, I only got the general version.  I figured there must be something that I needed to do, so I contacted customer support.  I got an email back saying they would contact me in a couple days, but they never called or emailed.  So, since the General version was in my purchase package, I began using it.  It was ok, but it didn't pick up any thing more than Word 2007.  After four days I got an error (Error 60).  Past that point the program wouldn't work again.  I contacted Customer Support- I didn't get an answer... again.  So... I contacted their refund department and said that I wanted my refund.  I sent it via email and I faxed it to their office.  To date they have not contacted me, refunded my money, or even responded to my initial question about the Creative Writing version.  From what I've read the 2007 version was good- the 2008 version has some problems, but the program I got (2009) was completely unusable, and I'm begining to think I won't see my money again without the aid of a lawyer.  That is my experience,
