Very happy with Scribd! Pretty much any book youre looking for is there (except Garth Nix). I use it to read with my kids and love the audiobook selection as well!
It keeps crashing! I hate it!
Its a helpful app specially for research and development
Awesome
My country doesnt have functional libraries or great selection of books, I was delighted when I found out such great selection in SCRIBD. This was recommended by a friend and I am greatful to him. This is one of my best apps.
There were more books available when I first subscribed (3 years ago, I think). At that time, books and audiobooks were unlimited every month, fantastic for me as I am often ill and was able to lose myself it several books a week without trying to get to my local public library. This is why I now also have a Kindle Unlimited subscription. Id like to try a new cookbook, for example, but then I have to think about to using that credit, and what would I do if a new Lisa Kleypas book comes out and Im out of credits (insert gasp here)? It would be a nice if there was a way to sort saved books by author. Thats another thing ... why do I have to "flag to save" books now? From the last version update, earlier this year, Scribd created a "books read" list and moved about a third of my books to that list (mysteriously appeared so I have to assume Scribd created). I deleted the system created list, not knowing all the books from the list would be deleted from my library. A few of the books I could find in the general library and was able to add back to my library but not all, such as Penny Reids Winston Brothers series. I only found 2 of the 3 Winston Brothers books, which I have already read so they should all be available to me. That leads to another thing ... why arent the Winston Brothers books shown under Penny Reids books authored list? This is what I meant when I wrote my review title. It is nice that the system can direct you to other books; you can select a book, read the blurb, then scroll down to author or subject related books, which can lead to even more subject related books. But sometimes Ill find an available book randomly that I could not find by searching by title or author. I started creating lists now in order to sort by author or subject, nice to be able to mark lists as private. Lists do seem to disappear then reappear randomly (developers, see my Dublin Street list as an example). I have also had books disappear and reappear from a list. It would also be nice if there was a "return to home" feature instead of always having to back out by each level (read a blurb, select a related book and read that blurb, select another related book, then have to back out by the left arrow as many times as needed). I know clicking several times isnt strenuous, but a home button would be nice. Other times I close the app, refresh, then reopen the app. Developers, the new app logo is terrible. You know it kinda looks like a number laying down with another number on top? Or maybe I just read too many eroticas.
The current versions search isnt working. It worked yesterday, but it isnt today. Can you tell me what the problem is? I still have access to the books stored offline, but I cant find anything new.
I rely on Scribd as a musician. Lately its been letting me down on gigs as the songs wont load. Had to force quit the app on both iPad and iPhone. It keeps freezing. Please fix!!!!
Helpful with PDF and stuff but it only gives you 3 book credits a month.
I know the box you speak of with the Aa but it still looks the exact same as always. Color choices are gray, tan or black. Six fonts to choose from without color. Wheres the changes? Itd be nice to have colorful choices for fonts and backgrounds such as blues, purples, reds, pinks, yellows, etc. Not bland colors with strictly black font.
Whether its for work or fun, I think the collection of documents here is unparalleled and Im really glad Scribd exists! Thanks!
my "go-to" for reference material
I had to pay for my 30 days trial. And the books and songs werent opening anymore. Awful! DONT DOWNLOAD THIS APP!
I dont know who developed this but whoever did, great job. The navigation and interface are so easy to use and the selection of books is far larger than I could hope to get through, although I am trying. The only suggestion I have is that if the software could be accessed on a computer, either as an application on a Mac or via the website that would be great, being able to read on a larger screen when I dont have an iPad or tablet would be really nice for the print texts. Other than that I love it and am so glad I came across this.
Id like to see a larger selection, but its pretty great as is.
I love how I can find about anything Im looking for on this app. Easy to use and simple layout. I only gave 4 stars due to the fact that now you have reading credits limiting you to a certain amount of books you can read/listen to a month.
I have had no problems with Scribd love that i can listen to an audiobook or download a book on two different devices and pick right off where i left it on one. Thanks for making the transition so effortless!
Im sure it does what it claims but if you cant afford the $15 monthly fee youll never find out. Need a free version for less fortunate users.
I love this app! I was never one to listen to books preferring to read alone but Im addicted to it now. I love the selection of titles and cant best the monthly cost. I really dont care about logo its the content that matters most!
