Worst App Ever
February 21, 2021

This is the worst app I've ever had.
First of all, people spread span there, posting rubbish.
And if you really have doubt all the answers given are wrong and people add their answers just for getting points not for helping people.
Plus most of the do not answer in a proper language and use slangs.
If you even thinking of just trying this app then you are going to regret it once you have read the question or got an answer to your question.
Other apps like Topper, Doubtnut etc. are far better.
So all in all this is the worst app ever.

I've been using brainly for a while now and there is one thing that is constantly a problem. I'm doing a test and I use brainly on every question. I end up getting a 60% and I spend 20 minutes watching stupid ads. If you're gonna make us sit through and watch 30 seconds of ads for every question just to give us an answer that isn't right 40% of the time, it just isn't worth it. I also find it ironic how they are saying be honorable and your teachers will love you if you use this. My teachers would fail me if they knew how often I use this stupid website. Also you're honorable policy is a waste of time so just stop trying. Also your honorable policy is making people not use brainly, therefore losing you money because not as many people are watching your stupid ads. Basically, this website might seem like it's a good website at first look but once you get down to it you guys are just penny pinching liars that steal our time and give us wrong answers.

Do moderators of Brainly "work" for free or something? Why are they so bad? Moderators abusing their power is still a thing of the present after months and months. Yet Brainly is seemingly doing nothing about it. An example of bull$#*! things they do on a regular basis is deleting A LOT valid answers/questions. I also see many wrong answers that I KNOW moderators see, and do nothing about it. In some cases, I was able to find the right answer. So I posted it knowing it's correct with intentions to help others. Unsurprisingly, within a day or two it gets deleted by a mod. Mods who delete my answers will usually snoop around my account and delete more of my valid questions/answers. I tried to contact Brainly about these things but they were very unhelpful. Another thing, the points system in Brainly really sucks. It basically encourages people to answer questions without trying. Which is why I get so many answers that are literally gibberish. All they want are the free points. Allowing 2 people to answer is often useless as well. Just about every time I go to a question, the second answer copies the first one. Again, all they want is the free points. Great job Brainly team.

I put 5 questions in a row and nobody answered them. I made sure I written the sentences correct. I had alot of anxiety, that I couldn't do my homework and then I uninstalled it. It can be really bad and annoying. I wish I could rate it 0 stars.

Deleting my account
February 3, 2021

I gave a one star because they deleted my 1,000 point account. I didn't do anything wrong. Now I can't join again. Also if you want good answers and not some CRAPPY A33 SCAM do not use brainly. I wanted to help people and in return I get some CRAPPY A33 SCAM.

First of all Brainly does not give accurate answers. A lot of the answers I got of of Brainly gave me bad grades. A lot of Brainly users are rude and careless. I have had a lot of times where I would give users correct answers and they would be rude and use rude words and tell me I didnt explain it good. There are a lot of pedophiles and creeps on brainly which is frankly not safe at all because a lot of kids use brainly for school work. Brainly users do not use Brainly for the right purpos. Some brainly users use it as a social app and not what its real purpos is. Therfore brainly is a TERRIBLE app.

Bad moderators.
January 29, 2021

The moderators take down a bunch academic questions and the ones that try to confront the mods of their mistakes. This needs to be fixed. 1 main one is a mod named Keyonn. But most of the mods are like this and it's not okay. It's abuse of power and people can't even learn anymore because of mods.

Too long to answer
January 27, 2021

I wrote a question, and it still hasn't been answered, while I'm typing this review it still hasn't been answered. This is disappointing because I used too always use this site, but now it's useless. This is why it's a 1 star.

Don't Waste Your Time
January 27, 2021

Don't waste your time. Asking a question on Brainly will just get you a bunch of people saying "idk just here for the points" or giving you a dumb answer that's completely wrong and they'll then ask you to mark it brainiest. The moderators are absolute garbage, and delete legitimate answers for no reason. The only useful feature of this website is searching up answers for already asked questions. But if your question isn't there, you're out of luck. There's probably about 6 people on the entire site who are above the age of 11 and are actually going to try to help you. Also, answering questions makes it so you don't have to pay to see answers, so don't bother giving your money to this $#*!hole. Might as well just become one of the people responding for points. The moderators will delete your answer either way.

Horrible.
January 25, 2021

I gave this a 1 star because most of the questions that i ask dont even have a answer! In i type in my question and they give me another question when i didnt ask that question. They let people who dont even know the answer, answer the question and it really wastes my time. Also i dont even know why this cost money this website sucks. Also these people think this website is to play. And they just answer questions to get free points to level up.

Horrible experience
January 21, 2021

They charge me $25 for a subscription that I never signed up for. I'm on the fact that they charge me a week well they said it was a free trial. So I can email them with the confusion of why I got charged $25 to my credit card and I got no email back for a week and then after week they just asked me more questions about my account I told them that when I logged into my account it said I had no active subscriptions so pretty much they took my money and left it at that so I then emailed them for not the third time but the fourth time and I insisted on them situating my problem or I was gonna go to my bank and I was going to get A refund to my bank because I was unauthorized charge on my card of $25 and it's absolutely just ridiculous that they don't reply to the emails and there's such bad customer service representatives. I would never ever ever ever ever use this website again I would not trust it with your credit card and I would most definitely not trust the customer service to handle your issues.

If I could give Brainly negative five stars I would. Not only are many of the answers wrong, sometimes the wrong answers will get rated five stars so you'll think they are right. Brainly is also filled with annoying adds, I would say I spend 99.9% of my time watching them and 0.1% of my time getting answers. Overall this site is annoying and cheap. STAY OFF IT!

Moderator, laurenercsp6fpli, won't leave me alone. She has deleted over 3 of my answers in the same hour. This leads me to believe she took down one of my answers for a logical reason but then proceeded to go to my profile, look through ALL of my answers, and take more down. I'm sure she had a reason to take down one, but not to go to my profile and take down more. I have moderated for many sites before and understand having to take down mistakes, but upon looking over the answers she took down, they didn't apply at all to the reasons she took them down. For example; Someone asked what the best way to answer the questions to an article. Said person didn't mention any specific questions. I responded with something along the lines of "Look back at the text! Looking back in the text and finding statements that you can back up with supporting evidence is the best way to answer questions on an article." Of course, this got taken down for not being helpful.

I don't think she deserves to lose her job or anything, but she definitely isn't doing her job RIGHT.

I think what branily does is cruel, it helps you on questions you know, but you have to have branily plus to get help on the ones you don't know. I think branily should give free answers to those who need it!
