Scribd once promised a vast digital library at your fingertips. Unfortunately, its recent changes have significantly diminished its appeal. The introduction of intrusive ads within PDF pages is a major annoyance. These ads disrupt the reading experience, often appearing in the middle of paragraphs or even obscuring important text. It's a far cry from the uninterrupted reading experience that was initially advertised. Moreover, the subscription limits imposed by Scribd can be frustrating. For avid readers, the monthly or annual limits can feel restrictive, especially when trying to tackle lengthy books or multiple titles. The inconvenience of having to constantly monitor your reading progress to avoid reaching your limit is a significant drawback. While Scribd may still offer a wide range of content, these negative aspects have made it a less enjoyable platform for many users. If you're seeking an ad-free, unlimited reading experience, it's worth considering alternative digital library services.

I have been using Scribd and now its split into two separate apps, for more than 4 years now. Solid for what it says on the tin. I found some rare gems and its sheet music catalog is total game changer, especially even more so for a musician such as myself. I don’t think any other platform coalesces and consolidates magazines, podcasts, reading material, slides, research papers, sheet music and mainstream stuff so adeptly. You need to make the most of such resources while at hand. I changed from the Dubai store to another country for billing convenience and prices are so different. Highly recommended, its like iTunes for book nerds.

Unable to login to the iOS app. Hence cancelled the subscription as there was no point in using an app which you couldn’t log into

I wanted to cancel my subscription but I’m not able to login to my account for the past 2months. They have been auto debiting the amount from my credit card every month and I’m not able to anything about it. Please help me cancel my subscription.

I used to LOVE Scribd and Everand, but they’ve changed recently and now they charge you way more money for way less access to their catalog. I wanna use cuss words right now, I’m so mad. Cancelled my subscription!

Scribd is good but expensive for what it is and how much I use it. Everand always locks up where I leave off on an audiobook. Have to reboot iPad to get it to work again. New and updated iPad. I liked Scribd before Everand.

This app makes sense since the subscription covers everything. I don’t have to purchase any book to read. Like a digital library, once you get through the gate (the subscription), you can try as many books as you want. They also offer audio books, pdf docs, literally every media type. I have kindle and audible subscription before, they are more expensive and the books are not included, I was limited to one book a month per subscription, some months I don’t want to purchase any book, then my money are wasted, and the samples are not enough to decide if you want to read the rest of the book. Spotify also offers audible book, but again with limited audio time. Scribed is the one and only app that offers unlimited books. Cancel or pause the subscription is easy, if you have an iPhone, just go to setting under subscription and click unsubscribe.

Great

This is not the first time I’ve experienced an issue with unauthorized charges on my account. Previously, I had to dispute a charge with my bank, which led to my card being re-issued. I’m finding it difficult to understand why I’m still being charged for a subscription I canceled months ago. This cancellation was confirmed by one of your customer service representatives. If needed, I can provide email correspondence to verify this. At this point, I’m concerned that my account will be charged again at the end of the month for a subscription I have not used. While I understand that investigations may be necessary, the inconvenience this has caused me over a $24 charge is frustrating, especially considering this is not the first time I’ve raised this issue with your company. I’ve already responded to your customer service team, who requested additional information such as screenshots of the charge and partial card details. However, I’d like to stress the urgency of resolving this issue promptly to avoid having to file another dispute with my bank. I do not wish to leave a negative review, but I will be forced to do so if the issue remains unresolved. I am willing to update my feedback once I see that the matter is properly handled and my account is fully refunded, with assurance that I won’t be charged again. I trust you will address this as soon as possible and provide a timely resolution. Sincerely,
