Scribd Reviews in September 2026: User Ratings, Pros & Cons

Highly recommend Scribd!

Significant Other and I were flying from PA to Oregon so I thought that would be a good time to try Scribd. I absolutely LOVE Scribd. Have already read multiple books on it (they have a wide variety and usually have what I am looking for) and can easily go "down the rabbit hole" for hours looking at documents and other items they offer. What a joy to have access to music too! Tried an audiobook and it drew me in so I had to listen to the whole thing in one sitting. Highly recommend it and ...

Open the series

While I enjoy Scribd, I don't like finding a series that I like that after 2 books it goes to the unavailable list. I've paid for a year, so leave the series open to listen

Audiobooks have changed my life

Audiobooks have changed my life! I don't mind cleaning the house or doing the dishes, as long as I can get lost in my happy place with a great audiobook. I have found that Scribd offers the most cost effective way to enjoy this great platform. I finish a book and immediately load up another without a second thought. Truly a pleasure.

Lies about service, extremely unhelpful support, frustrating, and not worth the money.

I was a Scribd member for a few years. They outright lie when they claim you have unlimited access to their titles. I was working from home long before covid, and would sometimes go through multiple books a week. There was an undeniable trend. If I was reading a series I would have access to all books when I started the first book, then after I finished the 2nd (or more if it was a longer series) the next book would suddenly be 'unavailable' for me until next month (yes, it would have a ...

I have cancelled my account during my free trial period and I am still being charged for a few months afterwards. I have not used the service at all. Update on 21/7: I did contact customer service a few days ago but still have not received any updates from you. thanks

I have loved Scribd immensely. Apple Pen and iPad compatibility would make me love it more.

I have loved Scribd immensely. The access to various books and audiobooks has been so helpful for school, personal research, and leisure reading. I really do think it is the ‘netflix’ for readers. The one thing I would improve upon it is its compatibility with the iPad and incorporating the use of the Apple pen to mark up books. This is the only thing I have against ebooks, because I write all over the page and put notes where I want to put them on a physical copy of a book, but that has ...

Overall I believe this app is well worth the money!

Overall I believe this app is well worth the money. I LOVE to listen to a book while I actually have it to read also. I get the books from the library and try to coordinate with books on audio on Scribd. A couple of problems I run into is, not having a current NYT best seller list of available titles on Scribd. I end up having to enter every book and see if it is there. A new bestseller listing would also help. If you go into best seller you get best seller of all time. Definitely not what ...

I love this app so much

I love this app so much and have listened to countless books already. The only thing I’d like to see is the option to see a list of all things finished. For now I couldn’t find this in the filter or anywhere else. I wish to see everything i have finished. Thanks and keep up the good work !

I am upset that they make it very hard…

I am upset that they make it very hard for you to cancel your monthly subscription. I have been trying for months. There is nothing on the site that will allow you to cancel. It just states cancel anytime, this a fraud. I am reporting this company.

I love Scribd

I love Scribd! I have used Audible for years and Scribd is just as good, even better in my opinion. Will be continuing to use !
