Description of LanguageTool proofreader

LanguageTool is an Open Source proof­reading program that works as Android spell checking service. It is available for Breton, Catalan, Esperanto, French, German, Spanish, Polish, Ukrainian and Russian languages. Currently it is in beta version.
VERY IMPORTANT: Once it is installed, go to Settings -> Language Input -> Spell Checker and select the "LanguageTool proofreader"
Since this application is a service, it is automatically integrated with the system and allows the user to spell check from apps like Twitter, Facebook, WhatsUp or Telegram. The application sends what the introduces in regular text boxes (not including passwords) and sends the content over a secure connection to LanguageTool.org that does the spell checking. LanguageTool.org does not keep any text that proofreads.
It does NOT work on Samsung devices due to the removal of spell checking API by the manufacturer. It is also known that does not work in some devices (some versions of LG and others).

    Funtouch on my NEX 3 does not provide a stock spell-checker, so I have to rely on spell-checking apps to be integrated into the system. I've only found two - one is broke and the other is this app, which might as well be broke. Absurd that for a 'service' integrated into the system it only works with an internet connection (and it doesn't work in social media apps). When it does work all non-US English spellings are 'mistakes', in spite of having phone language of UK English.

    Seems to only work with the UI language. I installed the App because the browser extension works even if I write English, Spanish or Bulgarian. The App, sadly, only seems to understand English.
