User reviews
Users appreciate Scribbr Citation Generator's convenience, user-friendliness, and effectiveness for quick citation tasks without ads, especially useful for students and APA citations. However, multiple reviewers report significant issues like incorrect or random citation generation, poor integration with Google Docs, lack of PDF citation support, and frequent errors forcing users to seek technical help. Government documents and date citations are often unreliable. Overall, despite its usefulness, the extension suffers from reliability and compatibility problems that impact user satisfaction.
Pros
- Convenient to use as a Chrome extension.
- Useful and user-friendly for quick citations, especially web journal articles.
- No ads, making the experience smooth and pleasant.
- Helpful tool for students and college papers.
- Great citation generator preferred over others for APA style.
Cons
- Cites sources incorrectly or randomly, requiring users to use the main website instead.
- Poor functionality linking citations to Google Docs; often prompts to add extension again.
- Does not support citing PDFs, which limits usability.
- Fails to properly cite government websites and find publication dates (frequently cited as 'n.d').
- Many users encounter frequent errors prompting to contact technical support; the extension sometimes stops working altogether.

This was working fine until it wasn't. I put the sources in and it cited my resources but when it comes to linking it to my Google Docs it keeps taking me to the add to Chrome Extension. I have already added it to my Chrome Extension. This is very frustrating as my professor wants me to cite everything down to the letter and there is no way for me to transfer the citations over to my Google Docs!! Please fix this!!
