Does anyone here have first hand experience with Angie's List?

1 Answer

Answer :

answer:I joined last month and immediately asked for a refund once I spent some time exploring the site. You pay extra for medical; and then when I wanted to look for Doctors near where I work, I was told I had to pay for access to that region. I live 45 miles and 2 counties away from where I work. I think the range should be at least 60 miles – or they should inform people about this limitation, so you can be more selective about what point you want to be the center of your search, but they just asked for home address. The site was not intuitive to navigate and search, either. The ratings that I did see – for handyman contractors, were not very helpful. As with most of the internet, some people filled out the forms and gave great details, but most provided little-to-no useful information. I’ve seen better reviews on Yelp.
