Chegg Reviews 

they pushed a ridiculous update and removed textbook solutions entirely. Previously, i could look up my textbook, and if available, get all the answers to the exercises in order, chapterwise. They have removed it entirely.

very bad update i cannot access anything now no texbook solution their website not working
every thing is bad an they increased the price

This is absolutely the worst scam on the internet. It used to be ok-ish back in 2019. Now? They have erased the human contact, now you get a very bad AI that replies to all your question instead. The answers are mostly wrong since their AI is also really bad (Chegg-standard). This is a scam simply put!

This is a very very bad page and it is not a tutoring help. Spend your money on another AI subscription.

I regret every day that I got scammed on signing up for this shit, didn't even use it since it is worthless.

1/5 because I can't give 0.

Access to the solutions guide is no longer available as before. The new system doesn't adequately support potential students for solution guide. Please be aware that all previous solutions guides and manuals have been removed

FRAUD!!!! I've never bought from them and until a few days ago I didn't even know they existed. Chegg has tried to take payment from my card? Thank goodness for my bank stopping the transaction. How on earth did they got my card details? 😡

Chegg used to be a good place to go to get homework help and tutor help from trying to understand process development, specifically for math. However, my recent experience I just posted a very simple question that I’ve worked out and I just wanted confirmation/clarification I was doing it right and I paid for the service, posted the question. I even took a photo of the question and yet I never got assistance or a response other than the AI asking for more information. Furthermore, Chegg is charging me for service they are not providing. It’s like paying for Netflix, but you can’t watch anything. I will just stick with Chegg as a place to rent textbooks and never use their tutoring/homework problem assistant sector ever again. It’s quite sad, this platform used to be really good at connecting students with tutors and getting assistance or watch tutorials, but I’ll just stick now with ChatGPT or Khan Academy.

We had one purchase three years ago, Chegg continued to charge after we cancelled. We had to go to credit card to stop payment because we couldn’t get any response from Chegg. The credit card company blocked Chegg for 15 months. Chegg resubmitted charges again after that period and we have had to go back to credit card to stop payment. DO NOT buy from them.

I rented an e-book but I cannot access it. The canned responses provided by their bot are not helpful. I reached out by text and chat. When I click "Read Now" I get an error message. This is on multiple browsers and after clearing cache and cookies. I am in an accelerated course, and now I am at risk of falling behind.

Chegg used to be great because I could usually rent my textbooks for cheaper than what a lot of other websites listed. I could then find my textbooks solution manual and have access to all of the solutions in chronological order from the book, making it very easy to follow along as the semester continued. Now they have removed all textbook solutions from their services and require you to search for each question individually in order to "Simplify the Chegg experience." It would not be as bad if the solutions were still the official textbook solutions, typed out, easy to follow, and concise. But now, the only solutions available are just messy, incorrect, handwritten solutions from "Experts". They removed all of the positive aspects of Chegg and provide nothing really unique anymore. Their website is horrible to navigate anyways and always has some site element that is down. I do not understand how this simplifies the Chegg experience, but rather makes it more complicated, more stressful, and less ensuring. I will be finding a new platform to help with studying needs.

They removed the textbook solutions. they want you to use their 'expert' help service which if you are in collage in 95% of cases won't work.

BEWARE!! if you purchase a book they will sign you up for a subscription, and you will have to pay it. Reps are not helpful

Absolutely abysmal new update! Can't access solutions to textbooks anymore.

They set up an update where you no longer can access textbook solutions in order. Now you have to try to search for them using their search bar. What an absolutely terrible service. Please do not use this website.

Last week I was able to access textbook solutions on Chegg, so I subscribed to it to have full access. One day later, Chegg textbook solutions were not working. Checking on Reddit, I discovered that Chegg said to a Reddit user that "A student would just need to search for a question from their textbook to locate this specific question in their textbook. It will still have the same step-by-step answers that were there before." SUCH A LIE!!! Now the solutions have downgraded quality in an A4 scan and researching question by question has become laborious and is made worse by not containing all the mathematical symbols that a question may contain. Chegg has become completely worthless to me and to a bunch of people, I just lost money!!! If you need to double-check your solutions or understand some questions in your textbook, don't subscribe you will lose your money. The golden era of Chegg is over!

Almost none of the answers were correct. I paid to much money to have almost none of the answers right. I did Chemistry, Math and Statistics and was hoping it would help me learn the concepts but did not do so. Chegg sucks.

Its been 2 months since i sold my book to them its new and never used. They sent me print label so i could send them the book. I received the email that they will have to review it. I waited for an update or payment but never had.. I reached out to their AI CS but always hang the conversation if ever I mention to follow up the payment of my book..

I ordered a book that I needed for class. It said it would arrive before my class began. My classes has started and my book has been delayed 3 times so far. Still no book...
Update: I finally got my book, it is exactly what I needed for my class!

Awful. Simply uses an OpenAI wrapper - like almost every company nowadays. Should've kept its human only experts and marketed that. Awful company move, awful platform. Very happy to see its stock in the mud.

Just wanted to call out Chegg for their terrible customer service recently. I rented a textbook from them (for about $60) this past semester. I returned it at the due date through UPS.

About a week or so later, I get an email from Chegg telling me that they are going to charge me $1000 if I don't return the book to them. After spending about a half hour talking to their chat on their website (some obvious AI slop) and another half hour on hold on the phone, I finally find out that they received the book two days after I returned it. They just couldn't get it together enough to actually process the return until I called them to bug them for an hour.

Unless you get some weird thrill off of randomly being threatened to have your bank account depleted by your textbook rental company, I would not recommend Chegg.

As others have stated, this company is EXTREMELY crooked. I know of classmates that have had issues of them continuing to charge them after they cancelled their subscription, and continued to do so for MONTHS, even after multiple requests to cancel. Most had to have their bank or credit card company block Chegg in order to get them to stop charging them!

Unfortunately, I really needed Chegg myself for my studies. Just recently, I had to change my card I was using. When I added the new card, I wanted to remove the old one so there wasn't any issue with them charging the wrong account. Well, their system won't let you remove a card from their system!

I called in to request it over the phone, and the representative told me they don't remove any card information you add to the account unless you completely cancel the subscription!!! So, any card information you give them, they will hang onto, even if you change payment methods, and the only way they'll remove it is if you cancel (but even then, they're going to keep trying to charge you unless you request a block on your card)

To add... just today, I found out that they removed ALL textbook solutions!!! What is the point of using them if they can't even help us with our homework without us paying them extra?! That was the ONLY reason I signed up, so that after I worked out a homework problem, I could double check and make sure I got it right, and if not and I can't figure out where, to go through the steps to get help.

They claim you can "ask any of your questions now in their system and get the answers that way," but that's a blatant lie. They COMPLETELY removed all textbook questions, so they're not even in the database anymore. Secondly, as a 3rd year physics major, I can't even ask 90% of my problems I'd want to double-check, as they don't have most of the math symbols I'd need to enter in the problems!

This company should honestly be shut down for how crooked it is. It's literally scamming people left and right, and getting away with it. They're long overdue for a class-action lawsuit. Some attorney needs to hop on that!

I have found other alternatives that seem to be much better out there. I'd suggest you do the same.
