EasyBib

As I prepare for my second stint as a doctoral student in the Fall, I realize that life is now easier for students with sites like EasyBib. According to my friend Judy, who told me about this, EasyBib compiles your bibliographies and citations for you. Having spent now too many years in school, I cannot tell you the number of hours I've spent formatting for APA and compiling my bibliographies - particularly when I've got several dozen up to a hundred or so sources. Not to mention how many times I've nearly gone crazy. I'm a fan of paying for convenience - and if I can relieve the stress of the bibliography, I might just employ these guys soon.

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.

This website is a terrible citation source. The website lags and stutters almost everywhere you go, and the ads pop up each time you so much as move on your screen. While I'm on the subject of the ads, the ads are at almost every corner of the screen, and for the pop-ups, they block your entire screen and don't allow you to do anything until they're done. The lagging is a huge problem, the website almost never runs smoothly, and when it does, its very brief and doesn't make a difference. I don't recommend this site.

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.

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.

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?

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 have no problem with ads being present. What I do have a problem with is when there are so many that are refreshed so frequently that it makes using easybib incredibly slow, makes everything I try to do on my computer slow while easybib is open, and makes for just an overall irritating experience, as I'm just trying to get my sources cited for an essay. I wish I'd looked into other sites to use much sooner, and saved myself the headache. I don't think I'll continue to use easybib, and I would encourage others to look into different sites to use as well, because I wouldn't wish the sort of frustration caused by easybib on anyone.

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.

Millions of ads runnin at two $#*!in frames a second the whole time $#*!. Eat my $#*!hole from the back and smell my $#*! while you do it $#*!. Fix your do$#*! website. Thank you for your time.
