I had a question about a car problem I was having and they had the answer, very useful. I checked out some of the articles and enjoyed the video articles very much.
I rarely have time to check my statements, few weeks ago I saw a 66 dollars withdrawal from my account and I did not recognize it, called my credit company, THEY TOLD ME ABOUT 14 months withdrawals from my account, I remembered 14 months ago I asked a question they asked for 2 dollars payment with my credit card then they continued to withdraw 66 dollars from my account for 14 months, they are scammers do not trust Answers.com

Pretty simple review,
Asked question,
Paid for question all ok,
Unsubscribed
Then charged anyway,
Full refund from paypal not after spending a lot of time on the issue. Enjoy the jpg
Most concerning was the incorrect charge after unsubscribing.
Their system appears to be automated and the lack of follow-through cancelation request appears to be either a result of bad billing procedures or intentional misuse of billing information.
So would avoid,
Probably could have spent the time researching the question in google or a library, but that isn't the point.
This website has nothing to do with answer or helping people it just a clickbait to lure to click on their ads
Site doesn't send email verification - despite several attempts to resend for it. When you then try to reset your password, it'll then say it cannot, because your email already exists. That's crook city.
Tip for consumers:
WESLEY VIRGIN recommended this site . Woop te do.
Answer.com is worthless... No question just a complaint. Takes on average of 10 minutes to load each of their pages even with high speed broad band!
You have a product that people want to see. But the service is worse than the old school 14 kb dial up modems.
Don't bother looking at a story from these douche buckets. 1 sentence per page and it's all bs anyways. Have to click through 40 pages before you finally start getting to the story line. I will be blocking this terrible website from my life. Maybe people would read some crap on here if it was all on 1 or 2 pages instead of stretching a small paragraph into ******* pages. For now I d ok nt even bother going on a story if it is associated with this garbage company
Very well. We will give you an answer to your question over the course of several pages, often just to complete one sentence, so that on each page we can load up 20 banner ads above, below, and to the sides.
Yes this will lag like crazy and very likely freeze up your browser, but meh... some jackasses are paying us obscene amounts of money to throw these ads in your face.
Maybe instead of telling us how crappy a site we are you ought to boycott every business that advertises with us. THAT might teach us, and those businesses, a lesson once and for all.
I went on to answers.com for help with my hw and instead I was swarmed with annoying pop up adds and unclear answers.
They lure you in with interesting content, then make it virtually impossible to view. Every link takes FOREVER to load, and 9 times out of ten the site with freeze completely. They also overlap ads, like when you try to watch a video some other one is playing at the same time and you can't turn it off. I have had it with you Answers and will no longer click on your tempting links! You suck!
This site is awful. When you want one simple sentence to answer a question, instead you get spammed with ads all over the screen, and it has like 15 dumb slides just to say one or two sentences. Very inconvenient. And almost every time I try to use it, it just freezes up and crashes. Never use this. Use ANY website but this.
Tip for consumers:
Never use this site.
In trying to read what was ostensibly a short article, I had to click through literally dozens and dozens of pages.
It's ludicrous.
Answers.com made their money from my clicks in the cheapest possible way, but that's going to be it forever because I will never, ever read anything on Answers.com again.
How many $#*!ing times do I have to post this?
I should NOT have to click "next" 60 God-forsaken times to see 20 God damned pictures.
$#*! you, $#*! your mother, daughter, niece, sibling and $#*! your $#*!-stained $#*!-sucking $#*! of a grand mother.
Never again will I visit this $#*!ing site. $#*! them.
The site is practically unusable. It has so many ads, cross-scripting and probably viruses that it takes forever for the page to load. When you try to ask a question, it takes up to 5 minutes to type it because the site is so busy with ads and who knows what else that only half of the characters that are typed actually make it onto the screen. Very frustrating. So frustrating that I wont use the site or click on any link that leads to the site. A waste of web space.
Tip for consumers:
I cannot in good faith recommend this site to anyone. The web has so many other websites that do what this one supposedly does.
This has to be the worst site ever visited. You are lured by what appears an interesting or amusing article only to be bombarded by utter junk and mountains of advertising before you can view the content you went to see. Then without fail it NEVER produces the promised review. Absolute garbage.
I might rate answers.com as high as a 4 if I were actually able to view their content - they have may lists that are interesting enough to attract my attention. However, after repeatedly getting sucked in by headlines such as "13 actors who are box office poison" and being unable to get past the first slide without the site locking up, I now avoid this site. It is very unresponsive and burdened by advertisements - a total waste of time! Worst site I have ever visited!
I paid $40 to get a useless two sentence answer. I honestly think the answer came from a bot... god I am pissed!
They have some interesting slide shows that you CANT view because the site is so bogged down by ads. I understand they need ads to make money but they also need people to be able use the website. I make sure to NOT click on any articles from answers.com because you cant read the article and end up frustrated. I often wonder if the people that run the site ever actually try to use it. If they did they would know it is complete crap. I would have like to been able to give it no star for the rating or negative stars.
I have finally learned not to go there... thought it was just my computer. I see their stories pop up on my Yahoo home page all the time, interesting leads and you can never navigate the site, it's just too frustrating. It is also making me avoid the Yahoo home page, now I just use it for a quick mail check. How do they keep that site on the web, it barely functions? Advertisers are wasting their money.
Recently clicked on a link to answers. Top 10 type thing. 4 clicks through and I'm still on the first one, split mid sentence every time then when you click to the next page it jumps about on the screen and ads are thrown in your face some more. It really is pathetic excuse for a site. If it was 1 whole section per page then maybe I wouldn't mind so much but you have to jump through so many links to read a whole article if you can even call it that. I wish people would stop sharing links to this horrible little site
One of the most annoying sites on the net. What makes it particularly galling is that they actually have interesting topics... but when you try to navigate their site, it drives you nuts with ad reloads, hidden ad triggers, etc. Yahoo should dump them off of their page.
And yeah... I too noticed the phoney "oh... it's great!" reviews at the bottom. Nice try!
Awful, awful, awful. Catchy headlines with erroneous, outdated information in the stories. Wading through their adds is more gelatinous and sloppy than cleaning out an army latrine. DON"T click here!
It is awful! So much on it moving ads. Auto play commercials that jam your feed. The pages take for ever to lad... I hate this site...
The only good news about this site is that they don't have original content. I have learned to search for their stories elsewhere and can usually find the same vid or photos on other sites. Far as I can tell, answers.com is solely intended to shove ads in your face? It's the old fashioned bait and switch, now more like bait and spam.
Covered my daughter's Chromebook screen with ads--so many that she had to ask for help. The CLOSE button on the ads took us to an ad for Country Inns and Suites. I wonder if the Carlson Group, which owns that hotel, agreed to such a smarmy bait and switch. Makes me not want to stay there, that's for certain!
So here i am scrolling along Facebook on my lunch break and I see "(insert some title that interests you here)" I say oh wow I wonder if this article is going to answer my questions about life, love and the pursuit of happiness but then it turns into a crash course for disaster! Before you know it commercials are singing at you and you've clicked threw 23 and 1/2 pages only to realize... They got you. They put a pic or headline you like to only mention that topic once on one page out of 717... Why spread info you can easily fit on one page over 6 pages! And stop with all the ads it's awful! I went threw 17 pages to then not be able to move on due to ads! Now I'm pissed and I still don't know what the most iconic restaurant in my state is!
