Scam

Just wanted to see an answer online and you can’t unless you download the app, okay fine then, downloaded the app, oh of course you now need to create an account, no. Didn’t go further than that but then no doubt you’ll have to then subscribe after giving away all your info. Fed up of every website and app and advert thinking they are entitled to your information. Just another scam app collecting data and forcing you to accept cookies etc etc, typical scam like most things are these days.

Good App

Brainly is a good app. I’ve been using it for 2 years and it’s amazing. I do just have one problem though… earlier i had to redownload it because it kept crashing and once i did get it back and signed in the whole app had changed. I don’t know why but if it was crashing because of an update or whatever but again the issue is that it’s hard to understand now since the whole finding the answer is weird because it’s a pull up tab not just taking you to another tab where you scroll through like 10 answers to find your answer. Now the app is good but it does lag… a lot. That might be on my part though. I give it a 4 star rating just simply for the lag and crashing if it didn’t do that then I’d give it a 5 star rating.

Terrible customer service, basically a scam for tutor help!

I bought brainly tutor so that I could get immediate help on a chemistry question I had. I asked my question and didn’t connect with a tutor right away which was understandable, but after a whole day I never got an answer to my question. I asked my question multiple times and not once did I get connected to a tutor nor have them answer and explain at a later time. I emailed them asking for a refund because I was dissatisfied with the subscription I paid for when they claim that you could be connected to a tutor and have them answer faster than the general public. If not, I would of just asked my question for free on the public forum. I waited 7 days for a response and they only responded to my question asking “how long will it take for a tutor to answer my question?” I emailed asking for a refund before the specific time frame AND THEY NEVER answered my email! what a scam!

!!

I’ve used brainly to help with countless subjects. It’s really good and reliable for answers and understanding. Only problem is I’m unable to see answers at times even after downloading app. Idk if this is a concern that’s already being looked into. Pls fix this bug.

Ridiculous

Brainly would be great if you didnt have to pay. Why am i paying for brainly plus if brainly developers arent even the ones giving me homework help. Im getting help from people who are most likely the same age as me and its absolutely ridiculous i have to pay you guys to get help from someone who isnt even getting paid. Like im saying im paying you (the boss) for an employees help, who doesnt even get paid. Like they are working for free. It’s narcissistic and quite frankly disgusts me. Its like im throwing money in the garbage. Another thing is that you only get like 1-2 free answers a day. Like seriously? I got so fed up with it that i just went to another website that is FREE to get help from fellow peers and there isnt a subscription required or anything. Yall just look free hw help up and you guys could definitely find a much better site than brainly.

It Helps a TON!

So, I’m in Highschool and math can get more difficult, so I might need some outside of class. This app helps a ton because all you need to do is sign up, and your done! You don’t have to pay a single penny! That’s just one reason I love this app. There are also multiple answers so if one is hard to follow you can go and look for another. I love this app so much. Highly recommend it to those people who need some help that’s outside of class, and so you do t have to bug your parents to help, which they probably don’t have the time for. To the point again though, highly recommend, 5 stars 👍

The answer system is weird

Getting answers for my work is so easy to get to and 90% of the time is right which is great. I’m not complaining it’s not 100% because I’m still getting high grades and scores. The way it can read the question I get just from a photo and find post a like is amazing. The getting answers is definitely a 5 stars….. now the answer system
People will put the wrong answer under questions I’m using and I can’t find another post to help me out. I’ll figure out the question and want to post it so no one else has the same problem. But I CANT, no matter what I do. Even commenting under the wrong answer to explain how it’s wrong is hard. I tried to and got a message that said “comment won’t post this question was posted too long ago” huh? I’m using the question now though. Then I figure out how to answer but it’s random post not the ones I know the answer to. How can I answer RANDOM questions. I want to answer questions I’ve reviewed myself. Would love for this to be fixed I feel like it’d help people a lot to get the right answer 100% of the time! :)
