Chegg eReader - study eBooks Hack 2.8.3 + Redeem Codes

Couple of features I’ve been absolutely disliking is that when the books are in landscape mode or split screen, they don’t format correctly, it zooms in and I can’t zoom it out even if I close the app and reopen it…it takes a few tries to format it into the correct position where I can actually read my pages. I also find that the page flips are really sensitive and can’t move across the page without flipping to next and there’s no settings to fix this. Another thing that was be cool is if there was a page search in the book itself where I can actually type in the page I want to go to instead of selecting the chapter>section from the left menu and flipping manually I usually write the page number in my notes for reference and I feel it’s a bit pointless not to have this feature in an ebook…otherwise it’s an OKAY app. Not the best eReader but it’ll do for now.

About a week ago I ordered 4 books on chegg to rent. The books were too expensive for me and I was fired for not being able to work as many hours because of college, so money is tight for me at the moment. I did some research and I found chegg. It was really helpful and I planned on using it for next semester as well. I’m not sure about this any more though because I had issues with 3 of the textbooks. My English textbook unfortunately came in a messed up box which was fine as long as the books were okay. Unfortunately only one of the books were okay while the other book had a bent cover and certain pages ripped. I went through the book to see if the passages I needed for the course were okay atleast but some of the pages were sticky inside and others were folded so reading the book alone is very uncomfortable and uneasy. My two ASL books I had issues with as well. One had parts of the cover torn and they both had none of the dvds included. I’m not sure if that’s how all the rental books are but had I known that I would have not rented them at all. I need those dvds and now I have to buy them elsewhere. The awkward part is that I recommended chegg to a friend of mine that was also fired for the same reason and I’m hoping he doesn’t go through the same thing. The ironic part is that the only book that was fine was the extra book I accidentally ordered.

I was originally happy to find my books at the lowest price, but the hassle I have endured with this app makes me regret not forking over the extra money to get my books on a more reliable app.

First off, whenever I try to read through one of my books, I can’t get through more than maybe 2 or 3 pages before I get the “It looks like you’re offline!” error message. I have tested my internet to make sure that it wasn’t that, I’ve used cellular data, and yet nothing seems to prevent this message from haunting me when I choose to study. To get the book to open again I have to exit out of the book and then re-open it, and if I was in the process of searching for something and/or attempting to go to the page I want through the search feature, I have to do it all over again! Yay!

Second, logging into this app is an absolute nightmare because it doesn’t depend on anything in particular for it to log you in, it’s simply a matter of chance at this point. So now I am logged out and unable to log back in so that I can continue to study. Thanks Chegg, you guys are making my life as a college student annoyingly inconvenient!

What would make me happy Chegg… you money hungry thieves is to be able to highlight. While reading the e-textbook on my mac I’m trying to highlight text. I select the text I want with my mouse and upon un-clicking the whole page shifts down and un-selects my text. So now I have to reposition my page and the text still is not highlighted. Also, I ordered textbooks to be shipped so I got a free 7 day ebook. Well, my books haven’t arrived in the mail yet and I’m on day 8 so I still have no books. Also, if I desire to ask for help I must pay monthly for chegg plus? Get out of here. Didn't you guys tell on students for using your homework help answers because they were on student’s quizzes? Why would I pay to get tattled on? Students DONT put your school or courses on your account! Trouble will occur. The app is fine though, but how it’s run is not.

First time using chegg and it’s been about a month now. I am using an ebook and i like that the app has the option to book mark and highlight in a few colors. I also love that it is easy to navigate, the book has an option to search key words, page numbers etc. My biggest issue with this app is that you have the option to download the book so it’s available offline and I’ve “downloaded” the book 3x and it won’t work offline. The app constantly signs me out, the pages go blank, or gives me an error message stating that something went wrong. It’s not a huge deal but it’s definitely annoying to have to constantly close the app, sign back in, download the book, and then go back to the page where i was.

The app is not all bad, I am able to access my textbooks either through my phone or pc. But it can be very glitchy, from turning a page or wanting to return to the main menu on mobile. One big problem is highlighting!! It only lets me highlight words from the top of the page because if I try to scroll down and highlight something it sends me to the top again without letting me finish. Ive had that problem with using my pc but I used my phone and have been able to highlight at the bottom. Using both platforms have the same problem let’s say I want to highlight a paragraph but it won’t let me highlight some of the words for some reason and even if i am able to highlight it ( before choosing a color) after I choose a color half the paragraph is missing after??!! This app definitely needs bug fixes it is just so frustrating to use.

I used Chegg when I was in college and trying to figure out how algebra works, so with that super good experience I decided to try their ebooks out since I only needed it for one class for one night. I got the book, and it was fine and I tried to cancel my subscription later that week (I thought I had) but nope I got a message about it later that month. I tried to see if I had access to it and I didn’t so I had thought the cancellation had finally gone through, but to no surprise the minute there was activity on the card I used, it charged me for a month where I had no access to it and canceled my subscription the day after it charged me. Pretty upsetting. I understand charging if I’ve missed a month but charging me for a month in which I had no access too and then giving me access for only a day after? I was better of just ordering a copy for myself.

The app, while functioning, is good and relatively easy to use. But for some reason, in recent weeks, I am never able to log on to my account through the app. It prompts me with a message saying that safari cannot find the link to my google account. And when i go to manually enter my account information, i still can’t log on. Even after switching my default browser to chrome nothing changed. I have attempted many things from updating all other apps including this one, checking for system updates, going in to make sure the browser is still defaulted to chrome and nothing helps. I’m just going to use the web browser to read through Chegg. That is the only thing that seems to work

I’ve been a loyal customer to Chegg for about a few years or so and I’ve been satisfied with their services from using their mobile applications for renting & reading ebooks to using Chegg Study. Since last Spring semester (2020), the experience for their e-reader has been optimal and I planned to use their services again this Fall semester (2020). The time came and there was an update to their UI for their e-reader and the experience went from optimal to rock bottom. It was nice to be able to swipe left or right to turn pages but I needed to tap left or right and it didn’t tell me that at the beginning after I updated the app—it didn’t tell me any UI changes at all (besides the obvious look change). The old UI was more user-friendly that the current one that Chegg has at the moment. There’s an old adage: “If it ain’t broke don’t fix it”.

I was so excited to use Chegg (well, moderately excited b/c let’s be real, I’m using it to read a textbook) but the format for the fe book STIIIIINKKKKS. Maybe it’s just this way with my particular textbook, but it’s impossible to read with my phone upright (vertical) - the text is so small. Then, when I try to turn it sideways, the reader gets stuck and won’t let me go down very far until I go to the next page and then go back. Plus, every time I go into a different window and try to go back, I have to start all over with resetting everything. So annoying. I think Chegg is awesome, but the mobile app really leaves something to be desired. It would also be nice (on both the eReader and the app) if you could look up definitions of words, but you can’t.
