As I am into Arts a bit, Scribd came in handy for me. Logo design, dressmaking, photography and other forms of art are presented here like in the form of special learning and teaching materials. So if you are into this, then you can sharpen your skills by reading these documents. It's truly essential and the website doesn't provide materials only for this sphere. The number of spheres here is vast and this is what I like most about them. Website looks secure as well.

There are too many academical materials and I don't know if it's a strong side or a week one. In fact, the platform looks fascinating, I don't want to lie. However, it was difficult for me to browse those materials I needed, because the navigation isn't that convenient. $$10 per month after a trial isn't that much, nevertheless, I know that some of the ebooks can be found online for free, so I don't understand why they "sell" them, while they are somewhere in the internet in the free access.

It's like a Wikipedia but way better I suppose. At least the content written here is way more quality because it's written by people who really study the field and not just gather information from around the whole net and then compile it into one article. It's cool for broadening knowledge base, discover new things about the world and just read interesting and maybe even useful information. I can't say it's really useful, but at least you can parade your knowledge in front of friends, hehehe.

Ужасный сайт тем, что продолжает списывать деньги, даже когда ты отменяешь подписку. Три платежа у меня списал. я писала в службу поддержки - реакции никакой. Если еще раз спишут, то придется заблокировать карту. Я никому не рекомендую этот сайт, так как он ворует деньги и чтобы отменить подписку тебе нужно нажать три раза аннулировать. или 4. если вы хоть один раз не нажмете - например как я в первый раз - нажала аннулировать, и решила что аннулирована подписка. а когда списали еще раз я стала еще раз аннулировать и увидела что нужно три раза подтверждать и потом с меня еще раз деньги списали

Scrubs has been charging my credit card for over two years without my knowledge. I do t remember signing up for an account and I never received notification that someone had signed up for an account. This company is a scam a I would suggest staying away from them at all costs.

My experience with Scribd has not been a positive experience. First of all, I have NEVER even subscribed, yet “3” of my company credit cards have been compromised by an unknown individual who has an account with Scribd. I’ve had to cancel the cards and wait for new cards to be replaced; only to have the cards compromised yet again. I attempted to contact this company with no success. The only way to correspond is to email Support, which I have done on numerous occasions. Only to receive emails from “various employees” with an automatic reply. If their subscription is anything like their communication, I would strongly suggest looking for a reputable company. As I believe this company is shady as

After just a couple of times where I uploaded a book to get a download, this time I was asked to upload 5 in exchange for 1, then when my download appeared, I clicked on the one available link and it opens fishing windows, and no way to go back, no acknowledgment that I never got my download, it asked for another 5 pdfs!

Requests paid registration or uploading to access the documents... that are actually free. The way my traffic jumped, the site looks very suspicious - can potentially contain malware.

I found Scribid By Accident Looking For a book for a Friend ! Signed Up / Downloaded Book (AS PDF) - ALL FINE !! It said "Cancel at any time - during 30 Day Trial !!!!" -Great . BUT **** Received an email saying "Payment of £x.xx will be taken on XX date !!) - am in UK Turned out to be ONE Day before TRIAL ENDED - What a CON , AS means you get Charged for Trial Period After immediately unsubscribing - ALSO , blocked Payment (easy via Paypal ) SO my thoughts are BEWARE !!!!

I don't like the way they promote the payed membership. The service is supposed to be free by default, but every time you login they ask you to start the trial and accept to be charged automatically as soon as the trial is over. The users should be able to decide to pay or not AFTER testing the service, not before!

Can't use! I makes my computer hang(leg)!!!!!! Don't go to it !!!!!

This site uses deceptive practices (bait-and-switch tactics) as well as privacy concerns, i.e., cookie mining. They use the same scam tactics as do many of the online streaming scam sites which ask for a credit card for their free trial period. They offer content which they clearly do not own but charge access fees. This is likely illegal and the conditions are fraudulent. Not trustworthy.

When i download, the site asking me to login. But upon login, it still not allowing me to download and asking me to subscribe and pay.

Official site of Scribd, a large repository of books, periodicals, and other literature available for pay. No trouble found.

I have been charged the monthly membership fee for SCRIBD for well over a year, and when I've tried to log in, they tell me there's no record of me - as a member or as payor. Tried calling them - you get a recording, and there's no way to leave a message. I emailed them (from their "Contact us" link). No help whatsoever. I can't decide if they are running a fraudulent operation, or are just badly run. Either way, I'm ending all contact with, and payment to, SCRIBD.com.
