My Take
I love that there is a diagnostic so the practice is individualized, and the students can move at their own pace. The only part that is frustrating is on some when they have to combine sentences, it will say they are incorrect even when it is correct. But that is minor issue compared to the practice they are getting. Best of all, the free version is great!
How I Use It
I have my students take the diagnostic at the beginning of the year. Then we have independent practice on the strands assigned to them. We use it twice a week for 10 minutes each time.

Effective Grammar and Writing Instruction - make sure you use it properly!
A few people have said that the AI won't accept the answer when it's correct. Actually, the AI won't accept an answer if it has typos, etc. I personally love this about Quill. For instance, if the lessons is about comma placement, but a student misspells "the" (which they DO! So weird! But..."teh"), Quill won't accept the answer. I like that it forces students to pay attention to details. Far more effective than me going through and marking each and every error.

Noticeable Improvements in Student Writing
This is a good tool to reinforce the concepts I am teaching. It gives the students opportunities to practice independently with immediate feedback, which I like very much. I wish that there were more challenging "Reading for Evidence" assignments that ask the students to write at least a paragraph, but assume that is coming in the future.
