I downloaded 1 document. App did not function as expected. I have worked to cancel my subscription for 1 1/2 hours. I have followed at least 4 different methods listed within this app unsuccessfully. Some just leading me around in circles, others that are not to be found in the real app. They must be making a lot of money on people who are not using the app and are not able to cancel their subscription. I would not recommend Scribd.

Such a bad app and service. I was pushed to subscribe to download a 3-site PDF. The pop-up told me I have to upload 5 files or subscribe to DOWNLOAD the file. I signed up and subscribed in the hope of downloading a file instead of taking screenshots. It turned out I can NOT download or print the files, but can only view them in the app. 😂 What the heck is that!? What the heck is that!? Easier to make screenshots and print them. I don't like the app at all. Just wasting money and time. Thx

We totally get why that was frustrating. The app doesn’t allow downloading or printing for all files, and that’s not always obvious before signing up. Sorry about the confusion. If you want, reach out to our team through this link so they can take a look at your account and help explain what’s available and next steps: http://bit.ly/and-review

earlier scribd was 1 later everand came earlier both had one subscription now both are demanding seperate so basically we are paying twice for what we used to I wanted to go through some documents, thinking I will be subscribing for both , like i previously did i re subscribed. completely disappointed. I don't think I will continue, earlier I did for quite some time. buy to pay for both is ridiculous. also unlike earlier many books are absent.Also many docs are only 1-2 pages.
