They are very deceptive! Sent an email to me asking if I wanted to renew with a link to push which I did not go to the link but they continued to charge. Customer service not at all helpful after wait... See more

Chegg used to be very good for helping with schoolwork until they replaced human experts with Chegg AI. I don't know if they realize but we ALL have access to ChatGPT, why are we paying to get ChatGPT... See more

It can be pretty bad when you have to ask a question 3-4 times to finally get someone that knows how to answer it correctly and it still counts as 4 separate questions asked. I asked how to solve one... See more

I used Chegg and canceled it, but it continued to charge me

I used Chegg and canceled it, but Chegg doesn't ever email you about upcoming charges or subscription changes unless you resubscribe. My cancelation didn't go through properly and I was charged for MONTHS and didn't realize it until I saw a "payment authorization" email from PayPal itself.
Companies should not be able to have subscriptions that carry on indefinitely without notifying customers about charges.

Loved it before AI & hate it now

I used Chegg from 2016-2020, before the rise of AI. The site was a life saver. Real humans would answer the questions, and explain the answer step-by-step. I am in school again and using Chegg again. This is nothing like the site I used to use. Questions are answered by AI that usually misses what the question is asking entirely. The AI also can't understand pictures well at all. The AI is terrible and doesn't offer any value different from ChatGPT or even Google's AI.

They Do not have answers to simple problems. Foe Example : if you want to put a 4x 8 piece of plywood through a 3 foot square opening in your ceiling by turning it diagonally , is the opening big enough ? use a 45 , 45 , 90 trtiangle since it's a square

I was charged AFTER I cancelled their service. Then I was told by the supervisor that there was nothing he could do to stop the charges. Instead he offered a credit that will only apply AFTER the charge has been successful.

DO NOT SUBSCRIBE TO THIS SITE

DO NOT SUBSCRIBE TO THIS SITE. I subscribed to Chegg on the 20th of May and immediately cancelled the subscription on the spot as I had thought it was a free trial the way it was advertised, it's the 24th of May, and my account is getting billed every single day, raising bank charges on my account. I contacted their customer service, and they told me there is nothing they can do and will continue billing me for 30 days; how is that legal? Why am I being billed for a service I cancelled and never used?

DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY

I wish I had read these reviews before I "bought" my book. I thought I was buying my book, but apparently I paid out the nose for a rental, and then had to pay even more to keep it. DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY! THEY ARE TERRIBLE.

Do not use. Complete inaccuracy with answers

Chegg is not a useful tool for revision with higher-level questions. While sometimes a question may be answered with the correct method, there is an obvious lack of experience from 'experts', as there is a lack of care around units and overall understanding of questions. Most of the time, however, the question is answered using the wrong method, sometimes with a method used in year 1 instead of 3. Further, most questions i have uploaded are past papers, to be used for revision, these are frequently taken down, by clear ai moderation.

Bottom line, do not use

This review is 100 percent real

This review is 100 percent real. The website has wrong answers. Do not get the subscription. They would not refund you. Stick to Quizlet for accuracy. If I could give no stars I would. Failed critical test using this app as a study guide.

Horrible Customer Service

Purchased to help with accounting homework, they do not go through the steps and if they do they are incorrect. Tried to call and get a refund (online says 14 day money back guarantee), but they wouldn’t. Had a women named Kiziah help and she was not helpful and acted as if I was a child and didn’t know how to correctly use a computer. Not worth it.

Chegg isn’t helpful

Chegg isn’t helpful, most answers are wrong. It’s a hassle to delete membership, I have removed the membership and keep getting charged it’s extremely frustrating.
