- (2024-06-15) Sajjad Wali Khan: Very helpful tool. Highly recommended
- (2024-06-06) Nicole Goard (Nicole G): Exceptionally helpful!
- (2024-06-06) Melissa Stump: So, I am editing my first review as I have been noticing a lot more lately on the extension that it is not pulling the correct information from the page. If I could only download the screen shot to show what I mean. Many times, it will not pull the author's name. If it does, it may not pull all of them. Or it will not pull the correct source or cite a random one like Facebook. I eventually have to go to the website and add it through there to make sure the information is in correctly. It's frustrating enough that I am about to delete the extension. This tool has been great so far. I wish I had it sooner in my learning experience. Thank you for having it now. Better now than never!!!
- (2024-05-26) Carrick oliver: Wish I discovered this before my last three reports of final year, as this would have been super useful for both 1st and 2nd year of uni, but this is a MUST have for any uni student needing to reference lots!!!
- (2024-05-21) ilma ilyas: This is the best thing I came across during my final year at the uni. Honestly nothing was as annoying as citing and referencing and this extension was a game changer!

- (2024-05-12) emily tang: I wish to give 1000000 stars but there are only five to fill. EXTREMELY useful. I would still be trying to figure out the MLA format of my citations if it wasn't for MyBib. VERY easy to use and SUPER ACCURATE. Note: However, you do sometimes need to give it a tip for finding out the author(s).
- (2024-05-12) Treathyl FOX: I wish I had this tool when I was in university during the 70s. IT's amazing!
- (2024-04-30) Amir: Easier to use than Mendeley.
- (2024-04-27) Larisa Nicolaica: This is the best.
- (2024-04-27) D. Jefferson: The Best So Far -- NO COMPETITION This is the best reference tool I see available anywhere.

- (2024-04-16) Matthew Browse: If you're a student who has to write essays that require the use of academic articles or journals, honestly this extension is greatest tool on the planet.
- (2024-04-09) Xan Blackstone: An absolute lifesaver. It makes referencing websites so easy!
- (2024-04-08) ROBERTO ABRAHAM TOSTADO ACOSTA: util

- (2024-03-31) Oyindamola Deborah: kindly check, save to project is not functioning properly
- (2024-03-26) Lee HoLong (Drew): Removing a star because the "+ save to project" function is not working lately. It flashes when being clicked and it only adds the citation to a particular past project, not the lastest project opened.
- (2024-03-26) Forever Akyrah: It is a great extension for the a desktop or computer.
- (2024-03-25) Yasmin Cristina: Muito útil
- (2024-03-14) Thaddeus Kephart: I do a lot of research papers for school and this tool is a life-saver. Even though by now I would probably know how to credibly cite the sources I use, this tool makes it so much easier. And with us being in such a world that's run by technology, why not utilize it? I love this plug-in!!

- (2024-03-05) James Stocker: As a secondary school teacher of research based subjects for 25 years and in possession of an honours degree in History, I feel well qualified for what I am about to say. I was shocked and astonished to find that MyBib has somehow flagged the excellent US online publication The Electronic Intifada as "probably not credible". It also goes on erroneously state that the publication I have trusted and respected for two decades contains "a high amount of clickbait" and features "opinionated articles". Without providing any more information or explanation let alone any clarity evidence for these completely false, misleading and rather mischievious statements, I feel compelled to defend its reputation and equally ask the question as to how and why MyBib got this wrong so arbitrarily and so badly. The Electronic Intifada is one of the few publications in English that focuses on "Palestine, its people, politics, culture and place in the world". Topics include Palestinian excperiences living under Israel's illegal occupation and military control of and over the Palestinian Territories as well as general focus on Palestinian and Israeli politics at home and abroad. It has a strong record of holding governments, organisations and individuals to account focusing on the Israeli lobby in the US, UK and Europe whose role it is to defend Israel ensuring its narrative is heard in the corridors or power. It also highlights the work of grassroots organisations fighting for justice in and for Palestine. Its editorial choices and journalism are informed by the "commitment of its cofounders and editors to universal principles of human rights, international law, anti-racism and equal justice" and "provide a forum where commonly excluded perspectives and challenging viewpoints are presented". And that means by extension presenting both Palestinian and Israeli voices and Palestinian and other Arab American perspectives and viewpoints as well as those from leading academics, including those from Israel. Leading human rights organizations like B'tselem, Amnesty International Human Rights Watch, activists from organisations like Jewish Voices for Peace, Code Pink, Palestinian BDS National Committee (BNC), Palestinian Center for Human Rights, Rabbis for Human Rights, Gush Shalom, and Machsom Watch and others and news agencies with strong records like Mondoweiss, Palestine Chronicle, The Intercept, Middle East Eye, Common Dreams, I have read and used the publication since its inception with the utmost confidence in the reliability and credibility of its sources and the validity of the methodolgies used by its contributors and journalists. It has an extremely strong record of presenting original reports, special investigations that are not only factual but based on rigorous journalistic standards, extensive cross referencing and an extremely strong and reliable evidence base. The publication also hosts opinion and analysis reviews on books and features blogs from people who document their everyday life under occupation, It's editorial selection policies are transparent as are the clear distinctions between what is news and what is educated opinion and personal opinion. The integrity of the Electronic Intifada has never been in question and its commitment to independent quality journalism makes it not only a valuable resource but a vital one. One can only hope that MyBib has not succumbed to the work of theIsraeli lobby or is not the latest to feel pressure in the long history of western institutions attempting to silence Palestinian voices on behalf of the Israeli government. I look forward to a speedy investigation and overturning of this grossly unfair and unwarranted aspersions being cast upon The Electronic Intifada. The publication has been alerted to MyBib's decision. The Editorial Team and their Credentials Ali Hasan Abunimah is a Palestinian-American journalist based in Chicago and is the founder of EI. Maureen Clare Murphy, is an American artist and writer and recent graduate Arts, Music, and Culture from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, Nora Barrows-Friedman is an Jewish American journalist, editor and radio broadcaster Michael F. Brown is an American independent and freelance journalist. David Cronin is a British journalist specialising in European politics.

- (2024-03-05) Salma Repole: AMAZINGGGGG LOOVE it! the best out there
- (2024-03-03) Alyssa Gammell: I love this extension more than you know. It's so helpful and efficient. I appreciate the team behind this and everyone who backs it!
- (2024-02-29) Astrid Ramirez: buen material
- (2024-02-22) Alex: Amazing extension, super convenient. I only really use it for MLA 9 so I am not sure how correct the other citations are but it works for me!
- (2024-02-21) samantha cuestas: Esto simplemente te facilita la vida!!
- (2024-02-21) spongebob_: if i never have my bib i would have not passed history.
- (2024-02-19) Jazzlyn Lino: Saving me so much time thank you.
- (2024-02-18) Kiel Jennings: This has been an absolute life saver for my University study. Thank you.
- (2024-02-18) نسألك رضاك: So helpful and free app. It creates citations and reference lists for free, anyway you can edit the citation because artificial intelligence cannot match the heavenly gift.
- (2024-02-09) Daniel Panuco: Sweetttt!
- (2024-02-06) Chidozie Nwanedo: Amazing!!
- (2024-02-04) Sebastian Keddy: Awesome app. Why the three stars then? This app is great. It's applicable for just about any online source and is really easy to use. If you aren't using an online source, then you get help sourcing the content properly. You can have multiple bibliographies going on at once, and you choose from hundreds of citation styles, as well as put them in-text with those styles. I was honestly considering giving it two stars though, because of two things. Every SINGLE time you add a citation to your project, it brings you to the mybib webpage. This didn't seem like too much of an issue at first, but it got old quick. The other thing is that it doesn't auto sign you in, so citations created on other devices are lost if you don't. Again, this doesn't really seem too bad, but for some reason, no one I know has been able to log in, so citations across devices is just not an option. With that being said, it may be possible to fix the things I've had issues with, so I strongly recommend this app. It's a much better alternative to pretty much any citing resource there is.
- (2024-01-30) Leticia Bertrand: Me ahorra mucho tiempo!!
- (2024-01-15) Kylie Osborne: This is by far the best, most accurate citation browser extension I've used. I've been loyal to MyBib since my freshman year of high school and it has never let me down! I only wish they would change two things: 1. I want to be able to change the font and size of the text when copy-pasting directly from the in-browser pop-up window. You can do this if you go to the website, but not if you're just copying and pasting from the pop-up (as I often do). 2. When I use the Write/paste citation section, I want to be able to *also* manually write out the in-text citation for the source, and have a shortcut to it like there is when you use all the other citation methods. Overall a great tool, just in need of a few extra features to make it perfect!
- (2024-01-07) Gemma Ryan: amazing, really useful when writing university essays!
- (2023-12-31) Anna Echegaray: Te ahorra mucho trabajo. Es ideal.
- (2023-12-30) Emmanuel Ali: I love you guys! Thanks for this site!
- (2023-12-29) Nathan Carroll: Its very very convenient!
- (2023-12-18) Nicole Ahmed: Citations are often formatted incorrectly with this extension. I have sent a report to the company. There are several reports of this through the years if you look in the reviews. The title of the webpage as captured by the extension is sometimes used correctly as the title in a citation. Other times it is used incorrectly as the author/organisation. This affects all citation formats. The title of the webpage should always remain the title in citations including APA citations. In the absence of author information – website name should be the organisation.
- (2023-12-08) Danielle “Professor D” Blake: This little thing has helped me earn 6 degrees in 8 years and is working like a charm for my phd. Just saying. It works. Like. A. Boss.
- (2023-12-07) Lois: This chrome extension is the GOAT for writing essays.

- (2023-11-26) Aced Reza: This has made my research work so much easier. Love it. Especially the chicago style where it generates in text reference as well as end reference.
- (2023-11-23) roxy lange: Makes school work so much easier, you get to focus on the important things instead of silly little things as citation.
- (2023-11-23) Enoch Eghe: nice job. this feature is excellent
