When people need extra help is great to go on brainly until you search up more than 2 subjects or questions and by the third you either get bombarded with useless ads or asked to pay money. Its not like the people at brainly are the ones teaching us. Its the people who use the website that do the work. So technically, since they aren't doing anything, they shouldn't be asking for money. The people posting the answers and the helpful advice should be the ones getting paid if anything. If you ask me its a selfish move.

Trash and unfair asf
October 10, 2019

This website is literally trash. Imagine trying to make people pay a minimal amount so they can get help on an assignment lmfao you crazy asf. Thought brainly was literally for helping but after 1 ad i be getting this "30 mOrE miNuTEs TiLL yOuR nExT fReE qUeStiOn" BS. Even with different accounts brainly still finds a way to make you wait 30 minutes lmao. A WHOLE separate account different information and anything. Yeah aight brainly. I'm not even gonna bother trying brainly plus cuz apparently that's a scam too. Brainly's probably out here making up all these positive reviews on their site because there's NO WAY this site gets real incredible reviews so much lmfao. Anyway yeah the websites garbage, thanks for not helping me on my assignments brainly, i forgot that's not what your website is for

WORST
October 9, 2019

I hate this website i was stuck on few math problems and i needed help, they kept telling me "pay" when a kid or anyone is trying to get help HELP THEM. I failed my quiz because of brainly I can say that they help you A LOT and they explain very well but you seriously need to pay when a anybody is just trying to get help?!? What if it was you who didn't have money? And my friend said that he got it and PAYED for it and the website still didn't give him answers.

Don't Reccomend
September 3, 2019

The moderators are annoying. I understand that they are only trying to keep in the good answers but this is what made me mad. Okay so I am in Geometry class and I used this website to help me with my homework. And I put my questions in and submitted it. And I put it as the topic of Geometry since I am in Geometry class. And I kid you not 2 days later they got deleted. And the questions didn't ever get answered which also sucks. I apparently put them under the wrong topic. Now why on God's green earth would it not be Geometry? In Geometry you learn Geometry! And questions never really get answered that often. And if they are they are either wrong or answered when the homework or assigment is already turned in. I couldn't find the work nor image of the problem that I had asked to prove that it was in fact Geometry related stuff but when I do, I will make sure to add it on here. In general I don't reccomend getting this unless you want a incorrect answer or to have your problem answered in 2 days or more. You may get better luck than me on there, who knows. I don't think the general concept of the website is a bad idea, I just think they should choose better moderators rather than people who have answered the most questions and gotten them right apparently. That doesn't make a good moderator. And it is annoying that they have points on here when you answer or make questions. That is going to prompt people to answer it but that doesn't mean they will get it correct. I would remove that if I were them.

I attempted to use Brainly to help me with an online class I was taking, one answer every 30 minutes was annoying so I signed up for the "7 day free trial" they took my card information and then the screen kept loading for an hour so I gave up and closed it. I received an email saying that everything was processed, but then I wasn't able to use the free trial. The site didn't even recognize that I had signed up for it. Yet I received an email saying I was going to be charged. Looking for help, I contacted them via a reply to the confirmation email they sent me because 1. They don't have a phone number and 2. Their online help desk never responded to me. I received one email back asking for more information and saying that the problem would be fixed. I sent the information, no response. So now, the website won't even recognize my email in their system. I got the app and was able to sign in without a problem. But, YOU CAN'T CANCEL YOUR SUBSCRIPTION ON THE APP. Not to mention their website crashes anytime you even think about accessing your account to cancel your subscription. I have responded to every email they sent me hoping for another response, and submitted more requests via their website. No response. DO NOT USE BRAINLY.

Not worth the time
July 31, 2019

Incorrect answers are verified and many answers are random garbage. High school students determine if the answers are correct with little to no training in the content area.

I have been a moderator on Brainly for quite some time now. Brainy used to be a decent homework help site. Now it's absolutely garbage. As I've had to moderate answers, I can tell you that most answers are just random guesses by people trying to get points. A lot of the questions asked are by bots that ask one question. Now Brainly requires your to pay to view low-quality answers. Which is absolutely ridiculous. As a moderator, I say to steer clear. Try other websites such as questioncove.com or peeranswer.com

They provide much better help (and not random users guessing to get points) and don't charge you money.

Brainly has changed a lot, and unfortunately it wasn't for the best. I'm not sure why they needed to charge money when they get so much grant funding. Perhaps it's greed.
