JP Jyotirmaya P. Professional Software Engineer Enterprise (\> 1000 emp.) 8/12/2021 "Amazing platform to find e-books, articles and research papers" 4/5 What do you like best about Scribd? There are many things I like about Scribd. Here are some: 1. This platform provides almost any e-books, magazines, audiobooks, research papers, documents, etc. 2. Finding documents/e-books that are not to be found anywhere on the internet. 3. Premium membership provides unlimited access to everything. 4. Membership fee is cheaper than the popular ones like audible, kindle, etc. 5. They provide a free trial as well if you want to explore and use/read. 6. This platform supports web as well as mobile devices which makes it easily accessible anywhere anytime. 7. Scribd allows users to upload and share their documents as well, which is a great addition too. 8. Android app is just great and allows me to listen to audio books anywhere, even offline. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Scribd? Well, there is nothing much to dislike, But indeed there is room for improvement. 1. The suggestions and discovery feature is terrible; I have to search manually to find the content I like to read. 2. As a free user, it is challenging to read whole documents. 3. The search is also terrible sometimes and gives many rubbish results. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering Scribd: I advise going for Scribd, since this platform has so much to offer at a generous subscription fee, and it will help grow professionally and personally.

Scribd is very easy to use and that's the most important thing for me. you can get everything from books, audiobooks, magazines, podcasts, research papers, and all under one dashboard which makes it very user friendly. I started using Scribd all by accident actually, when collage, I needed to complete a research paper and found the site searching for it. later it seemed interesting and decided to go for the trial and never looked back since, it's now my go-to website for any books or audiobooks. the Scribd subscription also gave me access to other amazing services like peak, curiosity stream, and Pandora for free which is awesome. the service is also fairly priced so everyone can use it.

Almost all the books that I need can be found on scribd Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Scribd? Scibd should be able to compare the number of pages of files that we upload with the number of pages that we will read when we are free users. because after we upload the file, the preview page that can be read is limited, and asks us to upload the file again for the next preview, even though the file pages that we have uploaded are more than the total pages that will be read.
