User reviews

While Scribd offers a large and unique collection of reading materials with good audio and offline capabilities praised by some users, the app faces widespread criticism. Users report extremely poor customer support, difficulty cancelling subscriptions, unexpected charges after trials, and frustrating subscription model changes that limit access and remove saved content. Additionally, technical issues such as login problems and content disappearing compromise the user experience. These issues detract significantly from the app's value despite its content offerings.

Pros

Large collection of documents, audiobooks, and books including unique content not found in other apps.
Subscription cost is considered inexpensive and worth it by some users.
Offline download and reading feature available for subscribed users.
Good audio quality for audiobooks.
Integration between Scribd and Everand allowing shared access when logged in.

Cons

Difficult or impossible to cancel subscription through app or website; cancellation process is confusing and frustrating.
Poor or no customer service response to user issues and concerns.
Changes in subscription model leading to loss of unlimited access and saved content; introduction of 'unlock' system limits free access to content.
Automatic charges after free trial without proper notification; lack of refund policy frustrated users.
App bugs including sign-in issues, content not downloadable, app freezing, and saved content disappearing.

I wanted to love this app. When I first started using it I could listen to any book. Now I have to use unlocks. But I pay the extra for 3 unlocks a month. The problem is NO customer service. I had an issue a few months ago and reported it but never got a response. Now I've used an unlock for a book that won't open or download. I sent a messKindle keep checking my ticket but NO response. So I've wasted money on a book I can't read. I'm just going to cancel and stick with Audibles and Kindle.
