Easy bib used to be fine but this new update they have sucks actual $#*!. I'm trying to get one stupid citation done and it keeps making me watch a video over and over and it says the video will let me have free access for 48 hours. I've watched it 5 stupid times and no luck. Fix your $#*!ing website.
I have used Easybib for years, and it has always been an excellent tool--enough that I purchased the premium to bypass the adds. When Chegg absorbed Easybib the format changed, but some of that is expected. However, the takeover was in 2016. As of the new and recent updates: It rarely populates information appropriately, APA reverts back to MLA with each citation (although all of my projects are set to APA only), and it is barely functional in Chrome, Fox, or IE. Although I have patiently waited for the chaos of Chegg to quiet as with any transition, there has been minimal movement on my reports to the service team, other than to tell me everything is a "known issue." I don't have the time or energy to chase all these issues... I will be moving on, and highly recommend that students looking for professional citations look elsewhere.
It used to be good. It's not anymore. It is full of ads and it is no longer very user friendly. The updates to the site really, really suck! Ugh. It's still ok for MLA format stuff, but even that has become more difficult to navigate. If you can find an alternative site, use it! Honestly at this point I think it would be far easier to manually cite everything than to use this website.
Easybib used to be so easy to use. Now that chegg has bought it, it's swimming in ads. My computer crashes every couple of hours if the page is open for too long. Chegg is horrible, should never have bought the site.
Seriously, spare yourself the time and money. It used to be my go-to website for all my citation needs because it used to be light on the ads and free--which was awesome. As of late, it has become a subscription site for everything but MLA and is so ad-heavy that if you have a paper due in an hour, you won't get it done (okay, that's a bit of an embellishment, but it is SO slow).
This is the worst website I've ever encountered in my academic career. I've used EasyBib for years, and it somehow just keeps getting worse. It's so covered in ads that it takes twice as long to load than any other website. They force you to view videos and INTERACT with them simply to use their service. Even worse, the only format available for free anymore is MLA, making it inaccessible to those who have to use Chicago, APA, or any other format. On top of that, the subscription price is ridiculously high for such a terrible service- $10 a month! Find an alternative if you can.
They have so many ads it crashes the site, and you can't fix it with an adblocker. The services they offer are valuable, but if the price they ask for (ad revenue) crashes the site and renders the services useless, then what use is the site itself?
Used to use this site for sources. Now i have to disable ad blocker. And bam i get redirected to a $#*!ty fake adobe website. Thanks easybib, ill add you to the list of sites for my adblocker to block now. Dip$#*!s.
To many advertizments, That is only the first complaint about this site the second conplaint i have against this site is the fact that I cant even find a PDF and when going to the "support desk" they told me to do things i had already done 10 times I decided i would see if there was more details about what i could do but instead there an advertizment about how I should subscribe to the and pay money for the chicago format and more.
As you all probably know by now, EasyBib has become very ad heavy, forcing users to disable adblocks to use its service. I begrudgingly obliged, allowing the bombardment of ads to ensue. However, as I was trying to get a reference for an image, the site pushed me to some unidentified advertiser telling me my adobe was in need of update. My BS detectors went off immediately, and I closed the tab. WITHiN MINUTES, my antivirus (webroot) warned me that my computer had become infected... For the love of God, find an alternative source for references. F*ck this site.
Today I felt violated by the necessity to interact with ads on EasyBib. Not only does it force you to narrow down your gender and age demographic to more accurately tailor ads to your preference, but you must interact with those ads in order to continue citing. This is ridiculous and not all of us can afford/care enough to purchase an ad free citing website. In short, please kindly take yourself to a radioactive sewage disposal and baptize yourself in the contents of your own website, EasyBib.
Sincerely, a college student
Stinks. Can't get a paper done because of nonsense ads blocking everything. You know guys, some people are poor and trying to go to school to better themselves and your blocking the way by ripping of those who have no money. It's either block the site with dumb ads to where you can't get any work done or stop ads by take money from a poor kid whose every penny is put into college so that he can better himself. SHAME ON YOU!
EasyBib Sucks! It's just like "Hey wanna know about a website?" "Okay, Sure." "Alright tell me about the website." "Oh bleep you!" It just gives you the SAME. EXACT. INFO. THAT. YOU. JUST. BLEEPIN PUT IN! They should also be sued for false advertising! They say it's easy, useful, fast and helpful! Change that p into an l than sure, I can agree! Even Satan is scared of this thing!
Say no ads, get tons of ads
Does have the work
I have to put it in 5 times before it wants to work
Pain in the butt to work
Makes no sence
I tried to retrieve my password--eight times, and no responding email. I tried emailing their customer service department, but I couldn't send a message; I had to respond to their canned questions. I tried cancelling the account--good luck with that.
Avoid this service at all costs, or you'll be locked in forever.
I used to use EasyBib for my citations in class but it never gives me the full citation for my assignment. It almost always has many empty spaces that you can easily find on the website yourself. I use EasyBib to make it easier and save time from actually having to hunt down my information from a cite but if EasyBib is only good for citing half of my information than I may as well do the entire citation myself. Thanks EasyBib!
I keep trying to write papers in chicago but it simply changes to MLA without me asking it to. I got a pro subscription, signed in, and it continues to bother me to get pro. I mean, that's such a basic mistake. Clearly they just don't even care anymore. Garbage.
When I am about to bib something a ad pops up to subscribe or block it and I can't block it. I am going to fail my project BECAUSE OF EASY BIB I HATE EASY BIB NOW1
Easybib used to be a great resource to use when citing sources, but the quality has gone downhill drastically. The page is packed with more ads than actual site content and they make you interact with the ads before you can cite sources. If that isn't gaining success then selling out I don't know what is.
This site used to be good in the sense of creating a reference page for my papers in MLA. However, now it's advertisement after advertisement just to do something that takes 1 minute at the most on other alternative sites. Oh, ready for the nail in the coffin? You have to pay $10 a month if you wanna create a reference page in anything besides MLA. Have a paper due tomorrow in APA and need to create a reference page? Great! $10! I'm sorry, but I'm a broke college student and I can do the same thing at citation machine for free and as many times as I want. Definitely stay away.
