Angi Reviews

We signed up for Angies List almost a year ago. The initial cost was $51.00 a month. The salesman assured me we would get work with the lowest plan they had. A few weeks later, a salesman from Angies List called and asked how things were going. I stated we have not received one call from any of your customers, so he stated we needed to advertise more and that cost was in the hundreds of dollars a month, plus if we gave our own customers Angies List review cards we would have more reviews therefore more customers.

I paid $99 for a Big Deal on house cleaning service. The owner never called as promised. Angry, I got in touch with Angie's List this afternoon (3/12). After waiting on hold for about 10 min., a computer voice said I could leave a message and receive a response to my concern in no more than two business hrs. That was around 2:30 EDT. Now it is 9:20 pm and guess what? Still no email! The consequences??? I'm mad as a wet cat!!

People, if you really want to find out the reputation of a company you want to work with, go with the BBB. And you don't have to pay to belong.

I find their advertising sales people very "pushy and unprofessional" I do not like the way they conduct business.

Angie's List Pay to Play advertising Pricing. If you don't think Angie's List is a Pay to Play Massive internet Scheme, Check out the pricing they offered my company to be in the first 30+ 1st and 2nd page rotation that her members get to see. Once in Talks about advertising with Angie's List, Positive reviews that were not there prior started to appear immediately. In addition, she holds herself harmless pushing incorrectly licensed companies Big Deals to her members without certifying their true credentials. I have many more phone messages from her sales teams to prove these Pay to Play accusation.

We received a negative review from someone who we didn't even have a contract with or provide services to. Angie's List has told us they will not remove the review. So, I will no longer be passing out the membership applications to our customers to join Angie's List at a discount, something Angie's List provided us with. Not promoting that site!

I was hired by a member of Angie's list to complete the inside of an addition built on the rear of member's home - an addition built by another contractor. I have an Afro-American employee who drives a diesel truck and some oil dripped on the member's driveway. Member then had called employee a **. I told member that I will not allow or put up with rude behavior and that we will leave the job site. Member's wife begged me to stay and finish the job with an agreement that when finish I would receive a payment toward the contract, just leaving some paver work to be completed. 3 days later we finish the inside of the addition. The member told me that "yes, I will make a payment." 5 times they stated that to me.

I received a bad review on Angie's List. This is from a person that never hired my company and cannot prove any type of invoice or receipt from my company. I don't want any affiliation with Angie's List and how are they allowed to just allow anyone to go on their website and post negative things without checking them out to see proof that a company was used by them? Not fair. We as business owners must have some kind of rights with this?

I have been an approved vendor on Angie's List for over a year. Yes, I receive telemarketing calls and emails from their salespeople but I am semi-retired and don't need a lot of business. I have received several referral calls from their members and overall, the results have been good. Considering that I paid nothing to be listed, I have no complaints. Then again, I haven't gotten a bad review either so I have not been on the receiving end of that situation. I also have a Yelp profile and while people do look at it, to my knowledge, I have never gotten any business from that listing. Local advertising still works the best.

I hate to say that but it's true in my case. I've used AngiesList twice, and yes, I willingly have a yearly membership and I found two reputable contractors through AngiesList. The quotes I got were reasonable and the workmanship was good. Having been burned more times than I care to think about by contractors, in my state anybody can call themselves a contractor if they get a license and purchase insurance. I'm grateful for AngiesList in my area. I'd be back to recommendations from friends if not for AngiesList and I got hosed by those contractors. For the most part, I believe in hindsight they did not know what they were doing when it comes to an old house but they wanted the work and were willing to wing it as they went along. Word of advice: Educate yourself on the job you need done before you hire somebody off any service to do the actual work, and BE THERE to monitor the work.

I cannot unsubscribe. Somehow (I cannot ever remember subscribing to AngiesList marketing email), I was added to AngiesList’s email list. Trying to clean up the email messages coming in, I've decided to simply unsubscribe to as many unwanted messages as possible. So upon receiving marketing email from AngiesList, I thought I could do as I've done with many other unwanted solicitations and simply click on the unsubscribe button. When clicking unsubscribe on the link listed directly in the marketing email that they just sent to my email address, I'm asked to enter my email address on file (keep in mind that this is the same email address they just sent their marketing email message to therefore it should be on file, right?).

How many folks are having issues with Angie's List referral services? On or about a year ago today, a representative solicited a call to me for a three-month trial to Angie's List referral service. Although I thanked him for his time and informed him my sons do my advertising online as they are both web designers, he still persisted saying, "What have you to lose?" He said, "Please give us an opportunity for three months to earn your trust; if you are not 100 percent satisfied, simply cancel." He was pushy but courteous and polite, so I agreed.

We are a company on Angie's List, put there by their members. Three times we have received somewhat negative feedback & we are not even the company that performed the work. I know that we can post a reply to the comment but I ask, how come no paperwork/contract is ever checked to begin with? So anyone, any time, can post negative comments without someone doing any research from Angie's List if the work corresponds to the correct company.

I found a listing on the internet for a medical practice in New York City under my name that was posted on Angie’s List without my permission. I am a physician who does not practice (I work in research). I never posted such a business listing and have ever been a member of Angie’s List or had any affiliation with them. When I contacted them to remove this posting with erroneous information, they refused.

I enrolled on Angie's List at a cost of $31.00. I received an email from Angie's List saying that my area is a test market area and that there is no charge for membership. I emailed back, stating that I felt ripped off that I shouldn't have been charged. No response and no refund. I'm writing my local Better Business Bureau. I shouldn't have been charged.

We are a business that is listed on Angie's List. We usually get all "A" grades. We do good work, have numerous awards and care about our reputation. Someone called in and asked for a price quote over the phone. We gave him a price range and that was it. He did not ask for an appointment and we didn't hear from him again. One week later (after his call), he posted a scathing review of us and gave us all "F" grades. We called Angie's List to get the review taken down. They refused and said it will count towards 25% of our overall grade! Insane! We are considering a class action suit against them for damaging our reputation. They should be stopped.

I subscribed to Angie's List in 2011, thinking it would give me access to reputable vendors, contractors, tradespeople, etc., but the problem began when Angie's List did not have a service area for my zip code. Angie's List substituted a major metro area instead, which is over an hour from me, and provided a list of vendors, contractors, etc. that I couldn't use, because of the distance. I cancelled my membership because of this reason, in December of 2011.

I am a paint and remodeling contractor based out of Alexandria, Va . I was seduced into 1yr advertising contract with Angies List as a result of long term solicitation and "factual" information presented to me prior to signing. During the contemplation period, I believe an inside call from them was made to me posing as a potential consumer using their network in attempt to make my decision to join.

Last year, I signed up and paid a fee to make an inquiry on a contractor(s). Recently, just a small $10.00 charge showed up through my PayPal account. I was not informed that Angie's List would be charging me fees, no matter how small, for something that they did not earn. I attempted to contact Angie's List but I got tired out on the phone. PayPal said Angie's List would cancel the ongoing debit of my account but I have not seen the return of my $10.00 Angie's List ** me for.

I paid one month subscription for about $15 after the first month, I didn't renew the membership but was unknowingly charged $5 for another three months until I found out. I called the company, they only agree to refund only one month of charge as the amount was not huge. I let it go. I, today, while reading an article, I realize this is a scam, so I report it. Total loss: $10. Physical: Can't believe I was scammed by Angie list, a relatively reputable website, don't who do I trust!
