  • These are videos that claim to give you 48 hours of uninterrupted access, but it's really more like 3.
  • It's still ok for MLA format stuff, but even that has become more difficult to navigate.

“Best Citation Source”

Easybib is the best, it allows you to make a bibliography in a second and export it to any writing document in a second. There are many other benefits to it but the list would be too long (chuckle) (chuckle).:>:>:>:>:>:>. Thank You Easybib, You're the best

“Used to be alright, now just downright terrible.”

This website used to be alright before the age of Chegg, when all it was, was a bibliography generator. Now the site is clogged up beyond repair, with ads covering most of the screen and the website chugging any computer down to 2 frames per second. Even directly connected to the best modem I own, the site runs like it's on dial-up. Use NoodleTools or literally anything else. Not even mentioning that this site is recommended for children and it is advertising cannabis.

I used to use this website back when it wasn't plagued with advertisements everywhere. Now, you can't even navigate through the website without having to click X on multiple pop-up ads. Tried using an ad-blocker, but it blocks access to the site until you turn it off. I would definitely recommend using another citation website than this greedy $#*! company

Tip for consumers:
Never use it unless you like hurting yourself physically or mentally

I used to utilize Easybib for all of my assignments in the past, which had become a vital resource for my papers, however, with the enforcement of their advertisements. Easy Bib has made it where you can even properly use their website for using their citations. Every attempt I make to watch the advertisement, the website crashes or remains on a blank page without playing the damn advertisement. Thanks, Easybib for nothing.

When a website is so $#*!ing terrible, that means it spends so much time on adds that it can't preform any other function. This website doesn't even work half the time, missing the publisher and date almost every time when citing a source as well as not even fully creating a citation and instead presenting you with a little $#*!ing "work cited" title. Do not use, do not let them get money, the creators of this deserve to starve and burn in hell.

The website itself is a pain to navigate, with a ridiculous amount of ads being thrown in my face every 5 seconds. It forces you to watch a video or subscribe to it in order to use more than one citation, and it's incredibly slow. It takes my school laptop (which is the only thing I use the website for) 10 minutes to do 3 citations, with my high speed home wifi struggling to get it to run well also. Overall just a garbage website.

I used EasyBib in the years preceding their acquisition by Chegg for my undergraduate and both my graduate thesis and thought it was a great service.
Now I find the site completely unusable. There are so many ads that are all so badly configured that it's impossible to even use the website, it's a time suck, a headache and a quick way to get vertigo with all of the simultaneously playing ads jumping around the page. Truly a terrible experience, I would rather find an old APA guide and hand configure citations than ever have to go on this site again.

I used to love easybib! It was my high school self's best resource, but now as a college student, it's unusable. The ads are annoying even without the 30 second ad watch. The site itself is completely corrupted. It has gotten so bad that it crashes my computer anytime I want to use it.

Easybib is so mother$#*!ing stupid. It thinks adblock is on when I've disabled it. I think they are doing this so you have to pay so they pretend you have adblock on to scam you. Used to be good but now its some scummy bull$#*!

The program is difficult to use when editing a paper. The product is expensive and very hard to cancel subscription in a timely manner. You are not able to cancel over phone unless you text and the customer service is not restorative or use best practices. Basically the product is weak and cause more issues than it is worth.

I have used this before and tolerated the high number of ads, but recently, so many of them appear on the screen that the website can not even function without buffering for at least 7-8 minutes. It is frankly useless at this point.

Its like they tried to cram every single space possible with ads and then fill your page up with popups for their plagiarism service, plus making you watch even more ads

Used to be a good useful website for easy, straight-forward citations. Now you can't even use it with adblocker, and you have to pay for a membership to even use APA format. Terrible, greedy website now. Will never use again. And I recommend you don't either.

I use the free version of Easybib and it's always worked pretty well for me. I've used it for writing English papers, history papers, and pretty much any other papers I write(usually MLA format). The reason I put 4 stars instead of five, though, is because often I have found that Easybib can't find the information for citations and neither can I, and also because sometimes MLA format can be shown in slightly different ways and Easybib sometimes writes it in a way slightly different from how the teacher/professor wants it. Other than minor problems, it's been a great resource for me and saves me a ton of time.

One of the worst websites I have ever used. Terrible experience. It is just so slow and has so many adds, making it not "easy" and actually very hard.

This website is almost unusable nowadays. When I try to cite on my Chromebook using this website, it gives me several pop up add accompanied by 5 side ads. When I try to cite more than 2 sources, it also forces me to watch an "interactive" ad or pay $10 a month for this service. I am never using Easybib again.

I uploaded a 3 page article review for analysis. The numerous resulting recommendations/suggestions were not US standard English spelling and unfortunately, the system offered improper subject/verb agreement. I wanted accurate feedback, but instead, I'm having to critique a service that fails to provide.

Tip for consumers:
Do not opt to use the recommended corrections.

It's literally more ad than website. Between the permanent ads and videos surrounding the site and the forced interaction ones after ever citation, this website is the most irritating one I've ever used. It was perfectly fine a few years ago but it's just utter trash now. It frequently deletes my lists, won't load, and crashes all the time. Please fix this, so many students are suffering because of it

Easybib provides an absolutely terrible service, it is filled to the brim with advertisements, slow as hell, and has extraneous pages which only exist to show you more advertisements.

Super slow, makes my computer get VERY hot, oh and not to mention that there are upwards of FIVE ads on every page. AND you have to watch ANOTHER ad before you can make another citation! Also, you can't cite anything but MLA8 without making an account. Use Citation Machine instead. Easybib used to be good but now is a dumpster fire of a website.

I just needed MLA format for one citation and it kept stopping me from typing and then forcing me to make an account and sign up for the free trial. There were no exit buttons to leave and every time I pressed back or refresh it would pop up again. I used to really enjoy EasyBib but after this I don't think I'll use it again.

Originally easy bib was simple and useful for students of all age levels. Certain things were restricted but honestly, it wasn't anything major, I may even have been willing to buy. Once it was purchased by Chegg study it became awful. I understand a website needs to make money but easy bib crams every single possible surface with an advertisement to the point that the website runs extremely slowly. Even with a good computer. It is absurd.
