Sribd is my most used App. The best Scribd is the most complete provider of anything: Audiobooks, Books, Podcasts, Documents... I am signed up for forever now and wouldn't want to be without it. Best app in my opinion - there is also no maximal usage or anything as is with other providers.

Never signed up but their name showed up on my credit card. 2 seperate lines of charge showed up with their name on my credit card with $0. We don't have any accounts with them so no reason for any of it. How they got my credit card details is beyond me. But looking at all the reviews here, sounds like it's a dodgy company that makes it impossible to unsubscribe and deals with other shady business practices. I will wait for a couple of days to make sure the charges are gone otherwise might have to do a chargeback on credit card.

Checked trust pilot after Sub request, Thanks! Just been looking for a document I need. Would be happy to pay a few quid for it but AFTER you create an account, it says you need to add payment details for a free 30 day sub (I was stung by one of these 'cancel anytime' sub things 20 years ago). Looks like things haven't changed. If you are stuck in one of these, phone your bank and say you lost your card, you'll get a new card number so payments won't go through. Really, with today's GDPR rules they shouldn't be retaing your details like this!

forged and illegal documents for download at SCRIBD SCRIBD makes it possible to receive forged and illegal documents from users without any prior checks and offers these to paying customers for download. Even direct information to SCRIBD that a certain document is a forgery and is also illegal is of no avail. In my experience, complaints or tips are ignored. P.S. Comment to the below reply from SCRIBD: SCRIBD's response makes it clear that they didn't even bother to (properly) read through my comment above. The recommended "support" had been contacted by me before via Email and had been given all the details of the illegal/fake document, with a request to delete it from the server before further legal action could be required. This was followed by a presumably automated blah, blah, blah response. What's the point of contacting support if you get answers like that: QUOTE "......However, we regretfully inform you that we are unable to accept guest posts. Please note that neither Scribd, SlideShare, nor Everand are platforms for guest posts. Additionally, we do not list or index documents published on external websites nor participate in link exchange programs." UNQUOTE

Like most people surprised at being… Like most people surprised at being charged (today) - I've never used the service my reading history is blank. So I've cancelled on the scribd website, and also then logged into my payment service (paypal) to cancel future payments. I've also emailed scribd asking them to reverse the payment. Now checking here I see others have been charged even after cancelling, which was not my initial concern. So I'll start with 3 stars assuming good intent on their side, but I will update this review when I hear back from scribd. I do hope they won't try taking any further payments and they reverse my one surprise payment.
