I'm was doing a slide presention and I was using easybib (which sucks). I ended up using Grammarly which is WAY much BETTER than easy bib so many ads and other things. I read the comments and I guess it is trash, I hope they upgrade this to a better level.
The f***ing thing wont work it gets stuck on an ad pls help its trash i hate it they are greedy and just want money screw them.
I needed to create chicago style citations for a paper, so I decided I would get the free trial to be able to do this. All of a sudden, I was unable to cite anything, as it said I needed to upgrade. I already did that, so I figured that I could sign out, and after signing out there was no way for me to sign back in. I couldn't click on anything, so I decided it would be easier to just manually do them. What a waste of time.
I used to use easy bib all the time, but now you cant do anything unless you sit through an un-skippable advert, and I've had the advertisements glitch out on me so I end up spending another 30 seconds watching it before I can click off of it. Can't do anything but MLA anymore without an account. Trash site that is starving for cash, don't go to their page and give them another penny.
Easybib has grammar checking and plagiarism checking, which I wanted. But the website is quirky, and offers no support, hints, instruction, or help. The most frustrating thing is that the grammar check keeps skipping back up to the first page, and I can't figure out how to stop it. Easybib is now a part of Chegg, supposedly. I asked for help there via email, but got no response.
Unusable. Footnotes no longer work and citations appear and disappear randomly. This would be the point where somebody comes up with a new citation site.
Advertising is inevitable, like death and taxes. Again, like both, it is disliked. And as with taxes, the public will only bear so much before turning on adblocker, sighing in relief, and silencing the noise. Easybib has reached this ad threshold and blown it out of the water. You are allowed three citations with adblocker enabled, after which the page is so filled with advertising that you cannot properly use it without accidentally clicking an ad. How, you ask? The ads are timed, so that they move elements on the page while you are attempting to use the interface, moving website elements up and down to dodge your cursor. Not only is this an exceptional nuisance to the user, but it is also dishonest in that the ad clicks will not be honest ones, rather the aforementioned accidental clicks.
What could possibly compel someone to be so evil? I ought to write my next essay on what went wrong with Easybib. God knows there's enough pent up frustration out there for it.
Easybib was exceptional. It is now garbage, but there isn't a good alternative.
All I need to do is make a simple bibliography to conclude a project. I get on EASYbib and end up spending more time trying to get the horrible website to work than I spent on my whole project. It is funny to me how a website with easy in the name can be the most difficult and time-consuming thing on the internet. I pray that I never have to use this garbage ever again.
Who ever created easy bib is the scum of the earth and i truly hope your website gets a virus. YOU ARE RUINING MY $#*!ING LIFE YOUR WEBSITE $#*!ING SUCKS $#*! AND SO DOES YOU AND YOUR FAMILY IF I CANT CITE MY SOURCES IN MLA FORMAT FOR MY AMERICAN PROJECT BY 2 AM TONIGHT IM GONNA BEAT SOME MOTHER $#*!ING $#*!. $#*! YOU $#*! YOU $#*! YOU $#*! YOU $#*! YOU $#*! YOU $#*! YOU $#*! YOU
EasyBib got me through my college days, but now adverts cover 3/4 of the page, making it nearly impossible to use and slowing the site down! And the fees they want for adless, $10/month for a site I use maybe once every two months? No thanks!
This has to be the slowest website of all time. I was going to wait and save all my citations after I did them all, and then I went to do that after my last citation and they had all deleted.
THE STUPID BUTTON WON'T WORK, ME AND MY GROUP PARTNERS FOR AN ASSIGNMENT NEED TO SITE OUR SOURCES, BUT THEN WE HAVE TO DEAL WITH THIS! THIS IS THE WORST WEBSITE IN THE UNIVERSE! NOBODY SHOULD EVER USE THIS WEBSITE, EVER! THE BUTTON WON'T LET US SITE OUR SOURCES, SO WHAT IS THE POINT OF THIS WEBSITE?
I had to cite 15 sources for a standard research paper so I set aside around 25 minutes or so to cite all of them on EasyBib. Instead, it took me OVER 90 MINUTES. So slow and a million ads. Pointless.
I have been using Easybib since high school with no issue. But recently it seems like the site is very slow. It usually takes me five minutes to cite one page. What happened? It used to be fast and efficent, now its just slow and bad.
My wife tried the 3 day free trail and we cancelled in that time and was still charged $9.95 on 3/17/2019. I tried contacting BIBME.org for refund and was sent to *******@chegg.com numerous time with nothing but a run around. I finally was giving a supervisor Keith Martineau *******@chegg.com that I was told would get this settled and all he did was pass the buck back to BIBME.ORG and *******@chegg.com. Then today I found even after cancelling the service was charged again today 4/17/2019 for a service they say they can't find her account.
1) It never flippin' works
2) If I use another website to cite, it has two COMPLETELY different citations, even though they're both MLA 8th Edition
3) All it does is let me put in the URL and it spins in circles
4) No need to do this. Just put the flippin' link in.
5) Sometimes the link doesn't work
6) Many times it says "this isn't a link." Uhhhh, yes it is dummy.

Easybib doesn't let you cite more than one thing at once, and it's a total pain in the $#*! because of how many ads there are. Better than Manual Citation, grateful it exists, but wish it was more efficient.
Even now, as a write this review, I am waiting as my computer whirls away, straining all of its seven processors to churn out one measly citation while also handling twenty gaudy ads.
Oh EasyBib. You used to be my one true love. I'd find you late in the night, and in my hour of need, you would save me from the horrors of manual citation. But alas. You have moved on to bigger and better things. I thought I was the girl of your dreams; your one true love, your one true passion. But now you have moved on to another. Namely, to a fiend named rampant advertisement. Even now, as a write this sorrowful tribute, I am waiting as my computer whirls away, straining all of its seven processors to churn out one measly citation while also handling twenty gaudy ads. I'm afraid this shall be our last encounter. I will fall reluctantly back into the arms of manual citation, as this drudgery is far better than experiencing the agony of dwelling on memories of our past late nights together. Farewell EasyBib. You were once a stellar partner, my one and only. But now, I am afraid to say, you are a mere shadow of your former self.
