"Find (almost) Anything on Scribd "

4.5/5

What do you like best about Scribd?

Scribd has been so helpful for me in finding obscure sheet music. As a musical theater teacher, I’m constantly assigning songs and Scribd almost always has them when I can’t find them anywhere else. There are books and scripts, too! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Scribd?

The search engine can be a little tricky Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Windows of knowledge"

4/5

What do you like best about Scribd?

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.

"My virtual library"

5/5

What do you like best about Scribd?

It is a great tool in which I can have my documents written in PDF or web pages that I consider important, I can adapt it to several formats and open in several operating systems, it is really interesting because it is like a virtual library where you can save all the readings of my interest and share them with whoever you want at the time you want in a very easy way Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Scribd?

You need legal permits to make certain publications and you will always run the risk of losing everything if the company decides to close so I recommend always having a backup of everything you keep there. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Scribd:

For its effectiveness and the time that I now at certain times recommend its use Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Scribd solving and how is that benefiting you?

Having all the reading of your interest at hand and in one place is a great advantage when it comes to reading some important document to make a decision at a certain time, accelerating work without creating setbacks Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Room for improvement"

3/5

What do you like best about Scribd?

It is easy to use, you can have more audiobooks per month then, for example, Audible and a decent amount of books per month with a sizeable database of good books with nice recommendations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Scribd?

The fact that it does not have some of the books I was looking for and for example, B&N or Amazon have. They still have a good bunch of books but not all audiobooks, for example, Audible offers, sometimes also the quality is worse and choppy and not that enjoyable to listen to. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Scribd:

If you want an inexpensive service that offers both books and audiobooks, Scrib is definitely something you should look into. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"A nice podcast app"

3/5

What do you like best about Scribd?

It is a great app for listening to audio books and digital news papers. I like the efficiency of the app and the amount of resources available in it. There is a lot of material to use in Scribd for personal and professional purposes. I like how convenient the app is. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Scribd?

I do not like that it is only audio books and news papers. I don't like having many apps and would rather merge music, audio books, podcasts and news paper at one platt form. Also, sometimes the app is confusing when searching for a new material. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Scribd:

It is great if you know that the material you are looking to use is all on the app. If not, it might be a headache to find your material.I would reccomend looking at the material online and see if the material you are looking for is on the plattform. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Scribd solving and how is that benefiting you?

I am able to conveniently educate myself with the material in improving my work and myself personally. I like being able to listen to work related audio books while driving to meet clients and business meetings. The news papers are also a great resource when researching a matter to solve business problems. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great service for education professionals"

4.5/5

What do you like best about Scribd?

I appreciate that Scribd has a wide variety of book and magazine titles, which have been very useful to share with the teenage Fellows I work with when we assign readings. The Fellows have commented that the platform is really easy to use on their computers and phones, and so far we have been able to find all of the material we needed directly on Scribd. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Scribd?

So far there is nothing I dislike about the product - everything has worked well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Scribd:

No recommendations - the product is pretty self explanatory. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Scribd solving and how is that benefiting you?

Scribd solves the problem of providing books and magazine articles to a large number of students at once, especially on their mobile devices to avoid excessive paper waste by printing. We had also previously come up against the issue of entire books and articles not being accessible online, but this has been aided by using the Scribd service.
