Chegg Study is an educational app that helps students learn a wide range of subjects from biology to mechanical engineering. It strives to improve the overall return on investment in education by helping students learn more in less time and at a lower cost. Chegg Study consists of two core services: Textbook Solutions and Expert Q&A. Students have access to a vast library of millions of fully explained, step-by-step Textbook Solutions for subjects including Math, Physics, Business, Engineering, Chemistry, etc. Students can get homework help for 80 subjects and hundreds of courses. And Textbook Solutions are here to provide more than just answers, but also step-by-step solutions on how to solve difficult problems. If Chegg doesn’t cover the student’s question, they can use Expert Q&A. Simply post or upload a photo of the question and an expert, available 24/7, will respond with a solution.
On iOS AppStore, Chegg Study’s rating is 4.7 out of 5.0, with 137,500 user reviews. On Google Play, its rating is 3.8 out of 5.0, with 29,920 user reviews and more than 1,000,000 installs.
Chegg Study has attracted many students to install and get study help from it. The rating of this app is fairly good on iOS AppStore, but it is not good enough on Google Play, which means that it still has a lot of room for improvement in providing users with more quality and effective learning assistance.
Since the app focuses on solving students’ problems online, the accuracy and timeliness of the answers are important. And because of the wide range of subjects covered, it is inevitable that the answers are sometimes not accurate. Therefore, the Chegg team often needs to correct some errors. The optimizations of this app are relatively frequent.
Chegg doesn’t have too many core features, but it is committed to making the best of each one. With Textbook Solutions, users can search their textbooks by title or ISBN, then browse by chapter and question number to get step-by-step homework answers. Some books offer guided video walkthroughs and additional practice sets. The fact that users do not need to upload a question each time to find the answer is very beneficial for efficient learning. If a problem is difficult to solve, help can be sought from Chegg experts, with an average turnaround time of 46 minutes, so students don’t have to wait until they return to school to get the answers they need from their teachers. Another easily overlooked feature of Chegg is that, because it covers many subjects, students can find majors that interest them in advance, improve their skills and thrive in their careers.
