I've learned that if I find an article I'm interested in reading and it directs me to answers.com, I close it immediately. If I really am curious enough about the subject, I search it in google; answers.com makes me want to throw my computer!
Answers.com is absolutely the worst site ever. Each page has about 10 words on it, the rest is advertisements. If you can even get to the next page without it flipping to an ad. It takes you 20 minutes to get through an article that has maybe 20 sentences.
I would give this site no stars, but there is no option. I would urge everyone not to click on answers.com links on Facebook and elsewhere. Total adware waste of my time through catchy titles leading click after click of useless information and misleading photos.
As said by many reviewers, before the bogus 5 star reviews, SLOOOOOOW is a major problem for this site. I've started watching for the site name on FB posts. They have a bunch of photo collections that pop up all the time and some sound interesting but I found that if you open these you will wait for ridiculous lengths of time between pictures. Each picture shows then a click is required to get the narrative under the picture, WAIT again. Often it takes several clicks before there is an actual response because the "next" button won't work until all of the numerous ads are loaded and displayed. Although they might have some entertaining material, I no longer click their posts as I become too frustrated with the delays at every turn.
I am so tired of clicking on interesting articles, such as "10 Ways Your City Control's Your Behavior" or "10 Celebrity Look Alikes," which then lead me to a poorly formatted page. To make matters worse, article information is spread across 20 pages that you have to click through to see and each page takes over 10 seconds to load. Not impressed.
Terrible website, layout is appalling, far to many adverts that slow the page down, and far to many things to click which refresh the page to find out a answer, which also bombards you with MORE adverts.
Wouldn't even attempt using this website for anything, you'll find the answer for whatever you want on a much more reliable website so don't waste your time with this one
Runs slow and boggs down. Too many auto ADS
Dont use till they fix
Anoterh gripe is constantly seeing "will make your jaw drop" ads
I never seen anyone's jaw drop... why do thye say this.?. It's a lie!
More like "eyes roll"... geesh
All I want to do is view answers but i get ADS instead of answers. If Google was like this, displaying ads every time i SEARCH something, I would probably use Bing instead of Google! And 50% of the time, the ads are so glitchy that you can't even CLOSE OUT OF THEM! Worst site EVER!
There have been some topics I'd have enjoyed reading but I refuse to read between the ads. I'll never go to this site again. Stars? Is there a negative choice?
Uh, SITE JABBER, give us a negative option. Answers doesn't deserve the one star YOUR site forces us to give
This site is horrible. So many ads that you cannot even read about what you intended without it taking forever to load. If you need that many ads to stay up and running, maybe you shouldn't have a web page.
Cha Cha is actually much easier to get answers from. Now every time I see an article but I have to go to answers.com to read it, I just Google it and read it somewhere else. It also gives you better, more up to date info.
This site blows! You could have the best content EVER and manage to F$%K it the F$%K up by piling a F$%KING MILLION adds that effectively disable the site for users!
Way to go Answers.com... you're $#*!e.
Sincerely,
Never a viewer
Was just on this website and it wouldn't load fast at all. Mainly because there were litteraly 20+ ads on 1 page. Sinse the owners aren't sufficed with 20 ads they make you click through more than 5 pages of junk to read the story.
Being bored to tears, I've perused Answers.com and it truly has perpetuated killing time.
In addition to inane and disrespectful content, it's riddled with spelling and grammatical errors, incorrect advice that's never been investigated, and as slow as I imagine the individuals who provided the "articles". If they're six-year-olds, then it all makes sense...
Answers.com will not provide you with intelligent information. It is the online equivalent to what we adults think of the rag mags like "The Enquirer"; if you take it seriously, you probably wear a helmet all day because the doctor said so.
Then again, I've caught Fox News Chicago in just as much offensive content and grammar faux pas. I suppose it's become acceptable to not know that "an" is used before a noun beginning with a vowel, since it's also common to use "roofs", "wolfs", "knifes", and let's not forget the past tense for "purchase" as "boughten". SMH.
A Question Answer Site containing first hand knowledge about various topics. Anybody can post a question on this website. All participations either by the question asking person on answerer is administered by supervisors which makes sure that nothing rubbish is posted on this website.
The site activated my Windows Security window and said I "had a porn site virus and needed to call [random number in tiwan] to get rid fo the trojen virus" This, as clear as it is, was false. I do not use my desktop for that type of internet use and I never will. This site has scamed me and destroyed my computer before. DO NOT USE UNDER AND CIRCUMSTANCE!
"Answers" is the worst site EVER! I would hate to have to depend on it to give me real answers. It is slowest of slow and when you finally get to the end of the post, it is a HUGE disappointment. I need to know how to stop it from even coming on my computer. It is SO ANNOYING!
Why does this site kill my internet experience? They have interesting things, but all of the garbage makes it absolutely horrible and not worth the aggravation.
I agree, there is way too much excessive advertising and far less than adequate speed at this site. For contact purposes, you can find their coordinates at:
http://www.whois.com/whois/answers.com
It can't give us any answers because NO ONE CAN LOAD ANYTHING! Your excruciatingly slow website makes it impossible to use. I agree with a previous reviewer, I wonder if anyone who advertises on this site actually realizes it is a waste of their marketing dollars
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!
