Chegg eReader Reviews

Voice reader1

voice reader1

I understand the practicality of a computerized voice, however, it is difficult to follow.. it would be more beneficial to have a human voice with proper tone and flexion.

The book won’t load

Ana Linet

I don’t know what is happening but I can’t read my book in this app. It keeps loading but never ends. Try downloading the book again and nothing

As far as being able to see words on a screen it does that job really well. However, as being a replacement for a book. It is terrible. Taking notes is impossible if you plan to do so without paper. You can not take notes on screen without having to switch to a note taking app, you’re limited to amount of pages you can print(two at a time.... I did PURCHASE the ebook right?), taking notes using what’s available in app is not ideal for me, I tried using ebook on a surface and iPad. Let me tell you, not being able to use the pens for their respective devices is really really bothersome especially since I was ideally forced to purchase the ebook from chegg or pay over $100 more from amazon(ridiculous right). Im a college student of course I am most likely to take the cheapest option. But if I could do it all over again I would pay the extra money to be able to use a different eReader than the one chegg offers. Being unable to utilize my iPads feature is a disappointment. I have spoken with my classmates also and several feel similar about this.

Purchased ebook today ?

Five star not true... I have downloaded the Chegg ebook app and it will not download. What is going on? I just paid for an ebook from chegg that I can’t read now. Every time it tells me to log in which I do it just stays on a black screen with the chegg logo on it doing absolutely nothing. It just keeps having me sign in over and over and over again. This is ridiculous. I should not have to sign up for a Twitter or Facebook account to get assistance. There should be a customer service number for help. I am truly unhappy ? with this situation.

More interaction With books.

Easy to use as a eReader. But for the purposes of school I wish I could use my Apple Pencil to write notes. It would allow me to be way more engaged in the material.

No support unless you pay an extra 14.95 fee

I purchased the etextbook 3 weeks ago and I still can’t open it. I click on it on my iPhone or iPad and nothing happens. I paid for the option to use it offline but I can’t access anything. When I looked for the answer online I’m directed to the Chegg website but it will not allow me to see the answer to my question unless I pay an additional fee of almost $15 dollars. That’s BS! On top of that I now read a review that we can’t take notes on it using an iPad and pen or view it in an app that does allow us to use iPad accessories. What a rip off.

Solicited a Review

I had no particular feedback for the app until I was interrupted while using it.

Simplistic and easy

I enjoy the app because it’s not trying to be too much. It functions well for its main purpose... reading. There are two features, however, that I feel should be added/improved upon: 1) Margins: Maybe it’s just the specific textbook I am reading but I can only adjust the text size and not the margins. As of now, the text goes to the very edge of the screen. 2) Text Selection: The app seems to use their own version of text-selection compared to the native iOS text-selection feature. While it’s not hard to use, it’s a bit finicky at times. Hard to be precise all the time because you can’t quite see what you are selecting as your finger gets in the way. Overall though, the app performs excellent as a simplistic e-reader as intended!

Terrible

This app is useless. I have followed all the articles relating to opening my textbook but it has not once opened. My internet connection is great and I have the most recent version downloaded. I can only guess that the majority of these reviews are paid for by Chegg.

App has never worked

Cheyyyy

I bought a book through Chegg and have never been able to open it. Have contacted customer service three times and each time they say tech support will look into it and contact me back and they never have. It’s now been over a month, and my book has never worked on this app. The only reason I bought the book through chegg was to use the app. You can’t even submit feedback on bugs because the submitting function is bugged. Horrible app.
