### 5/5 — Un « must have » pour Mac et iPhone !

Pour ceux qui veulent aller plus loin dans l’expression écrite ciselée, la suite Antidote est un incontournable !

### 5/5 — Antidote Mobile

*2026-03-04*

Excellent

### 3/5 — Un indispensable

*2026-02-24*

Meilleur logiciel sur le français. À quand le clavier Antidote qui, à l’image de Grammarly, permettrait d’avoir le correcteur partout sur l’iPhone et l’iPad ?

### 5/5 — Appréciation

*2026-02-18*

J’aime utiliser pour apprendre et écrire des lettres.

### 5/5 — 👍

*2026-02-14*

Très bonne application mais l’abonnement est peut être un poile chère … sinon rien à dire !

### 5/5 — Un aide indispensable pour écrire

*2026-01-26*

Facile et ergonomique pour écrire en évitant les fautes grossières

### 5/5 — Pratique

*2025-12-09*

Je ne m’en passerais pas. On trouve tout.

### 1/5 — Abonnement nécessaire

*2025-11-19*

Excellent dictionnaire mais il faut  payer un abonnement ce qui fait que j’ai choisi un autre. Dommage car avant on pouvait l’acheter et c’était très bien comme ça. Il faut que les développeurs comprennent qu’en 2025 il y a trop de produits et services à base d’abonnement et qu’on ne peut pas se permettre d’en payer 50 tous les mois.

### 2/5 — Mauvais service à la clientèle

*2025-11-17*

Bonne application mais mauvais politique de prix! J’avais acheté une version antérieure de l’application avec achat unique puis a la mise à jour il y a environ 2 ans ils ont changé le modèle d’affaire et l’application a arrêté de marcher:( ! Maintenant j’utilise cette version avec abonnement annuel! 
Comme je dis c’est une bonne appli, faite au Qc donc j’accepte de payer l’abonnement annuel, mais je me sens volé, car j’ai payé 2 fois. J’ai écris il y a 2 ans à la compagnie mais aucune nouvelle!

### 1/5 — Publicité mensongère

*2025-11-14*

J’ai payer pour avoir accès au correcteur Antidote, pourtant je n’y est pas accès seulement un dictionnaire.. Vraiment déçus
