Lagging, blocked books, bad selection
MeerHey Everand, your app is lagging when opening and loading books; much worse though is your book selection.
So many books are available only as audiobooks- if I wanted to listen to books I’d get Audible. Even more books and authors are not available at all or blocked until the next cycle- with only non-relevant books actually available. I was a happy scribd customer for years but nowadays your content gets worse and worse with every update.
By now, half the recommended books I get are completely irrelevant and new releases that I look for are not available. Meanwhile you keep offering audiobooks without ever cottoning on to my utter lack of any and all audiobook consumption- take a hint, aka improve your algorithm.
Good luck and fingers crossed this offering will improve one day.1door Sad******10/04/2024Not amused
MeerI had a membership for years with Scribd. Read a lot but last year less and less. So i cancelled the membership thinking i could still access the Books i saved. NOT! Now I want to renewal so i can access the Books I saved and now I need to pay much more for the membership. Not amused!
1door B V****05/04/2024Previously enjoyed, lately it’s crap
MeerVery close to cancelling my subscription. Everything was taking ages to load… not sure if this is still the case as haven’t had anything to read in a week. Last week the book I was reading disappeared, to be made available on the 18th. Fine, I thought I’d read something else in the meantime. Every single book I had saved is gone, aside from a few PDFs back in the scribd app. Books I hadn’t saved but looked interesting are also missing, and the only things available to me are not of interest or I’ve already read them. Lots of people are complaining about same on Reddit, so it’s not just glitching for me.
1door Arj*****16/01/2024App takes long to buffer and keeps crashing
MeerLove this app! Unfortunately lately it takes longer than usual to load and buffer. The last two days the app doesn’t function anymore it keeps crashing. Please make it better again because I can’t do without the great audio/e-books!
5door D J*******13/01/2024Annoying
MeerBuffering regularly takes 20 minutes, very annoying!
Some books are also not available in my region (the Netherlands).3door J1j***05/01/2024Not really unlimited
MeerSo, the audiobooks are not limitless. At least not the ones you want to read. After half my library disappeared for the second time in two months I went looking around on the internet, and discovered that users have a monthly allowance of books. This is not made clear in the app at all
2door P J******05/01/2024Member since 2014
MeerThere are a few apps I’ve had or used since I got my first iPad. This is one of them. Been a paid member ever since. Haven’t been disappointed yet. Sometimes a book is removed, but you get a nice warning before that happens, so you can finish it on time. Maybe add a requestbox for books you would like to see added? The only thing I would like to see improved is how to read magazines. Would be nicer in pdf format so you can look at the pics nicely. But that’s it. Great app. Would miss it if it was gone, for sure!
5door Lol******30/11/2023Meh
MeerApp is glitchy and half the audiobooks I’m looking for, aren’t available. Hard pass
2door Alk*****16/11/2023Became worse and throttling book availability
MeerScribd used to be great; a good library, unlimited book availability, and nice books to read. Unfortunately now it’s more like mediocre book availability, lots of effort to find a ‘recommended’ book that’s actually well-written, and the dreaded “book not available until next month” notifications. Scribd has become known for this irritating practice and frankly has become worse than the local library for it.
1door Sad******19/09/2023Good, could be better
MeerGreat app. However, takes forever to load when searching. Don’t know if that’s because I’m using the app internationally, but that is the only thing that requires improvement.
4door S R****25/07/2023Very pleased
MeerI love this app. I have always loved libraries but I live overseas where English is not an official language... plus I read too much to be able to buy all my books. This is a great solution. Two complaints, though. First, I much prefer reading to listening and *very* often can find only audio versions of the books I want to read on Scribd. Second, the recommendations are rubbish as I have already read most of them, and in the app, at that! Why doesn’t it know and give me new recommendations?
Update: recommendations still not fixed. Today it is recommending an audiobook that I am listening to *right now*, but in a different edition.4door Arj*****16/03/2023Best app of 2022!
MeerI don’t usually post reviews but this here is Must get app if you want the best for your money!
5door J D*****05/11/2022Disappointed in Technical Support
MeerI used to be a big (5 star worthy) Scribd fan - but last month I renewed my subscription and ended up with a technical problem that prevented me to log into my Scribd account on my iPod - I wrote Scribd for help but never received an answer. Therefore it saddens me that I can’t give 5*
3door Mrs******16/08/2022Wish
MeerThe app needs an option where you see your current reads/listens. Now I have to create a list and go to it which takes unnecessary steps. It shout be at the top of the app once opening the app. Than its 5starsss :)
Beside that I really appreciate Scribd one of the best out there!4door Lie*******25/12/2021Top app
MeerHeel erg tevreden, allen zou het fijn zijn om naar mijn Sonos te kunnen streamen om zo lekker te kunnen luisteren. Dan zou het 5 sterren zijn
4door Wou*14/09/2021Problem after updating
MeerI made updates, but now i lost my membership, i cant read/listen any book
Help please5door Don*******24/08/2021Very pleased

MeerI hardly ever take the time to write a review but this app is AMAZING! I read sooo much now and it’s mind blowing how many books are available. Have never been disappointed while searching for a book. Great app, fantastic value. Highly recommend!
