Terrible!
December 22, 2020

I give it 2 stars because its just overall greedy for money. I mean yea, it kinda helps BUT a add pops up alot! It makes me wait there for a while with the "buy preimum" sign just sitting under the ad! There using us and there super greedy for money. Im super disapointed with my use of this website and very disgusted of how greedy they are. As you can tell by the photo, it made me wait there for a while. DONT NOT USE!

DO NOT USE!
December 22, 2020

Brainly is a Question Answer site.
Brainly makes you complete captcha's over and over again, over 5 times sometimes.
Also brainly made me get a 20 on school work, I was asking for help, and they gave the wrong stuff. Good thing I could retake it a few times.
Brainly is a sucky site I would not recommend using.
Also, some people just use brainly to talk when they are bored, and sometimes they are really rude and just post random stuff for an answer because they want the points, and I report them, but brainly does nothing about it. I think one star is reasonable for this site. STAY AWAY FROM BRAINLY.COM

I know now that most students are sitting at home and most of them will be online most of the time on their classes provided by their schools or own learning platforms like this or like many others. The access each one of them has to give meeting codes and to do anything online has increased without parent's attention. I am sorry to say this brainly was my favourite app till now. After the pandemic started I hate myself to go to that site because it is full of blunders like join that meeting join this meeting, here is the meeting code, only girls join etc... and whatnot. This platform has become the worst. It has a very high place in the daily education of a child among millions. It is the best app and no one created such a wonderful app. I really want to say this, because of this it's gonna be worst. Thank you and I hope all of this would change

Worssssssst
December 13, 2020

They call themselves a educational app.
Quora and stack exchange are far better than brainly. It is totally useless.
I want this to be banned. Every time you ask any questions people say don't know thanks for free points and anything. Worst ever app. This is totally a garbage. Rubbish app!

Avoid at all costs
December 11, 2020

It should be clear now that your data is marketable. In other words if something is 'free', then you are the product. The only possible use I can find for Brainly, is that it serves as a stark and cautionary illustration of this.

Users are asked to sign up using Facebook or Google. This is immediately a red flag. This suggests collusion between Brainly and those unscrupulous entities to whom your data is a commodity.

The site itself is a zoo. Anyone no matter their lack of qualifications can answer questions.

If you sign up and answer questions, then Google and FB have access to your search history and other preferences.

My only regret here is that there is no option to give zero stars, or 'minus' stars.

Once you make an account you only get three answers before it makes you either watch a video or sign up for brainly plus. I wouldn't recommend.

You have to watch an ad for your answers (note: half the time you watch the ads and they don't give you the answers. And they want you, probably a student, to pay for their god awful app. Don't use!

Disgusting
December 3, 2020

I just want to say if you use this site and like it there is seriously something wrong with you. I clicked on an answer for my quiz which would decide my end of the quarter grade and what popped up was a cu* filled a** and below it said I need help, please. The site is terrible and no action is taken place when you report people. A class garbage site.

This website claims expert answers fast but it takes 4 hours and when you get an answer, its either wrong or tainted by trolls just looking to steal your points. Worst part is, the only thing you can do is report the absurd troll, and the mods dont even look at the reports, and they NEVER TAKE ACTION ON THE TROLLS. DO NOT GET THIS THING, EVEN YAHOO ANSWERS IS BETTER THAN THIS $#*! FACTORY

$#*!ing useless
November 23, 2020

What a piss poor $#*!ing site. It promises answers but 9 times out of 10 no one answers my $#*!ing questions unless theyre easy asf, any question remotely difficult is ignored until its sinks to the bottom never to be $#*!ing seen again. And the site is filled with $#*!s desperate for those $#*!ty points that are mandatory to ask questions, so they give you bull$#*! answers. And thats not even going into the lonely 12 year olds asking for a date on $#*!ING BRAINLY of all sites, goddamn. I got my hopes up thinking this would help me out with my homework but boy was i $#*!ing wrong. My hopes were dashed and my time was wasted. Bad site all around, youre better off going on reddit and asking your questions on one of them homework help subreddits. Jesus $#*!ing christ, what an atrocity of a website.

Absolutely Terrible
November 19, 2020

This Website is TERRIBLE! I suggest NOT to Sign up on Brainly OR purchase Brainly Plus. They Are REALLY good at scamming kids into buying brainly plus when It doesn't help at all. I was sadly one of those people that bought it and they still LIMITED my answers. I emailed them and asked them to cancel my subscription and they said they would and that I'd get a refund. They DID cancel my subscription but never gave me the refund. They also promise 15 free answers a day if you sign up? Right? Well my friend used up those 15 questions one day and STILL TO THIS DAY has no more free answers- this was a month ago. There are a LOT of scammers on there too! Like- I know, brainly doesn't control them, but I WATCHED A WHOLE AD AND ONLY GOT "Mark me as brainliest please" and it really pissed me off. I Would NOT USE this website, and I highly advise you stay away from it!

NOT GOOD
November 19, 2020

It's horrible 1st of all because most people might use this for cheating on tests(I don't) and whatnot since people always give the answers. 2nd people will answer the stupidest answers and they get points for doing that. 3rd people always use the site for other things like inappropriate stuff and other things and the questions won't get removed. 4th and last of all when you ask questions some people will randomly report your question for no f reason and I even got a warning just for a simple math question what the f.

Bad website
November 16, 2020

This website was good earlier but now it forces everyone to download their app and then only we can see the answers. Also 65% of its answers are wrong so you can't fully rely on the answers on their app therefore, there's no profit of even downloading the app. I'll will not suggest this app for the use. Because you can't force anyone to download your app. Either you remove your website or let the children see answers on the website without downloading it. It is very irritable when you can't see answer in the website. Please do something about it.

Sucks
November 16, 2020

I put in my question, even the most simplest shortest questions. Someone deletes them saying this type of question is not aloud. That's after a day or a few hours of it being posted. And most the time before they get deleted I have ppl answering they question with "Thx for the points". I answer ppls question to the best of my knowdge but I cant get any for mine.

NEVER EVER EVER...
November 14, 2020

Brainly will not refund you. They often do not get the answers that you want, yet they get your money. The problem (or good thing for them) is that they have a gimmick that does attract people (especially during a pandemic).

However, if you ever have a problem, they will not give you the respect of a person who chooses to spend their hard earned money on their services.

Bottom line, don't do it... Don't use or pay Brainly.

People half the time don't even $#*!ing answer the question and $#*! like this happens frequently, just use answers.com

I $#*!ing paid premium for this $#*!

EDIT:

Oh boy. Oh boy. Let me tell you all a STORY.

Here I am, doing my work, asking a question, then I get a notification to pick which answer on a question I DESPERATELY need and I click on it. And it's gone.

The mods deleted it.

The reason section is blank.

$#*! this website. Use answers.com

Parental warning!
November 12, 2020

This site is a sexual grooming site! They got their claws into my daughter! Someone pretending to be members of the kpop band BTS was communicating with her on a chat thread. They told her they could only talk in the early morning hours between 12:00-5:00AM because that is when it's daytime in Korea. They did the usual grooming, asking questions about her looks, age and saying how she was special and pretty. They said she was hot. They said that age wasn't a thing to them because it was only a number. They only way I found out about it was when I woke up in the middle of the night and found her asleep with her laptop turned on on her lap with the chat room open. Parents beware!
