EasyBib is basically the worst. It used to be a pleasurable service that was easy, but now the pages are littered with ads, and worst of all, the videos. These are videos that claim to give you 48 hours of uninterrupted access, but it's really more like 3. And in those 3 hours, there are still tons of ads all around the border of the page, slowing down the speed of my computer and covering content. Most of the time, those ads are identical. After Chegg bought EasyBib, it has become a terrible citing website. The citing itself is the same, but the overall quality of the website has gone down drastically.
About half of the time I can't cite stuff, just gives an error, and it's covered in ads..
As a school librarian, this was my go-to tool for sharing with an entire school of students. It had gotten progressively worse with the advertising until now it's just completely unusable. Honestly, I would be happy use some of my library budget for a school-wide pay version of Easybib without ads, but for some odd reason the company would rather make $9 from the few schmucks that are willing to pay for premium instead of bigger guaranteed bucks from schools. What a dumb business plan for a company with an educational tool. I wish I could have given zero stars. :(
There is way too much lag loading lag, rendering lag, and more i created more than 10 citations last night when i went back they were not there
I noticed a charge from Chegg on my CC having never used them before. I eventually found out that Chegg now owns easybib, got hold of my CC details and has been charging me under their name, Attempting to close my account or delete my data has been fruitless so far.
THE WORST WEBSITE I HAVE EVER USED! I have never experienced such the need to yell and anyone or thing in my life. -******* stars. I hate that website. It would cite my article and i've opend 10 different tabs. Nope. Nope. Nope. It sucks, zero stars.
$#*! easy bib and its ads its garbage it makes me want to eat dog $#*! ligma balls easy bib $#*!ing die
So many ads that it takes the page several seconds to fully load them all, and every once in a while, the ads reload and you accidentally click on one because the content reshuffles itself on the page. Used to be good before Chegg bought it in 2015, but now I try to use any alternative.
I used to use this site which would easily and effectively help me create citations but now it's nearly impossible to make one because the site is so slow and overloaded with ads.
I don't like it. Read the title. I'm doing a class project and we are required to use easybib. The site crashed for us and that's only 30 people using it.
I really haven't used the website since college, and I was disappointed by what I found when I came back. The website is super glitchy, full of useless ads (it says to use it for free you only have to watch the ad once every 48 hours but it appears every hour for me). Not to mention, not as user-friendly as it used to be! It used to be such a simple platform, and now it has all these additional steps that add so much time to the process. So annoying.
Litereally so glitchy. Used to be so good and now it is just full of ads and doesn't save my progress! STAY AWAY! Used to be good... now it sucks
Most companies upgrade, Chegg takes a new approach with EasyBib. Downgrade and make it nonfunctional. I use the word SleasyBib because that is just what the company has become. It is impossible to speak with anyone at the company because there is no phone number or functional links to support services. If I took money for taking peoples money without providing a service I would be in jail. Moreover, I was able to find a phone number for Chegg, but customer service could provide no helpful information. The operator actually said, "I don't use EasyBib so I don't know what you are talking about." I asked her if she could find someone who could help me and she replied, "Nobody here knows anything, we are customer service." I think that says it all.

This site is a neat idea, and could potentially be incredibly useful. That's the only reason I didn't give it a 1. Why did I give it a 2? It's way too complicated, it's hard to work with, and there are tons of ads that not only clog up your work space, but also make loading a problem. Maybe it should be named "Hardbib," because the formatting is the worst I've seen. Every time you click on anything, a new set of ads come up. If you have mediocre internet connection (and most people do), than I don't just not reccomend this site- I beg you to just do the sitation yourself, however hard that may be.
I've been trying to cite some websites for a paper I'm writing and it stays on the "your citation is loading page" and never actually creates it. Really disappointed, I've always used this website now I guess I have to find a different program to cite my stuff.
Have used Easy Bib for over 8 years, and kept all of my grad school and teaching references there safely... until now.
My account was cancellled for no reaason, when signed up again nothing works. Trying to cite a chapter instead of a whole book is impossible... just leaves page without saving any date. Search is limited to recent editions. No way to keep the citation format I want to use every time. Just horrible... advertises itself instead of working for you, even after you pay for "plus" service. Cancelling myself this time... any recommendations for a professional bib service now?
I tried this easybib website to help me with my college essay but I can't download my paper every time I go on there it takes me to the tree 3 day trial page. It says I'm a plus customer. But it won't let me do anything on the website. Help.
Just a hot mess. Create a project in APA... nah, it'll just switch to MLA if you're not looking. Got a project open? So what, your next citation will be its own project you'll then have to import into the... umm, open project. Time to punt this program and pull the pieces of keyboard out of my forehead.
I can't access my projects or merge them! When I tried to take them to a google doc, nothing happened. This site sucks.
I have been using easybib to cite my essay for about two years. Easybib in general isn't user friendly anymore. To cut it short, easybib used to be "Plug and play. Now easybib is "Plug and pray!". Instead of putting in a link. I have to scroll to find an option that is suitable for a Youtube link. Not good! At least they've turned down the adds after people have requested them too which is nice. Honestly somebody should put up a website that should be called "Easybib old UI". That would be the REAL life saver here.
