AskReviews 54

What the $#*! is wrong with this dumb $#*! site! I am seriously wanting to sue this site. The don't answer your questions, and every time you ask a question stupid $#*! that is not on topic comes up! Like what the $#*!! Stupid $#*! like this happens all the time! Don't go to this site and waste your time. There are tons of ads that try to get you and hack you, and it's almost like they don't try to work on the site. And when I say every time, I mean EVERY TIME! Your question will not be answered. And if so, it won't really help. Go try for yourself. But I am telling you, don't go to this site. It is a waste of my time, and it will be a waste of your time

I have never seen a business model so shamelessly predicated on the idea of betrayal. Let me give you an example of how Ask works, I'll be the sales clerk at a brink and mortar; are you ready? "Hi, how are you today? So you're looking for information on the war of 1812 huh? Well ill just knock you out and when you wake up, you'll find that I've locked you in a little cage. Oh good you'really awake, so back to the War of 1812, I don't have any information for you but I'd be happy to sell you this jacket made out of lamas hair at above market value, or how about this collection of nuts and bolts engraved with flowers sold by a place in Istanbul, Turkey. What you just want you're freedom? Not with out a fight kiddo. Using Ask, I imagine, Is the online equivalent to joining Scientology.

I hate your browser. It sucks. I have to go through so mays links before I find what I'm looking for. And some of them repeat over and over again. With google I get the answer I'm looking for one the first search, I don't know how you stay in business. The only reason I tried using you was because you were defaulted on my computer. Not only that I take me many tries just to find a place to give you this review. What a waste of my time

The management apparently does not live up to commitments made by their sales team. Based on my experience if you pressured them to do so, you are well advised to remain on guard against immature childish vindictive and destructive behavior to property. At the time of this writing it is my intention to place the referenced incident into the most appropriate legal forum with the confident expectations of recovering for willful vindictive damage to property, i. E. entirely childish and unprofessional behavior resulting in loss.

I wish I could give that crappy, parasitic app a lower score. I was trying to download a java upgrade, which never got done. But this slimy leach program crawled onto my Chrome app, and no matter how many times I uninstall it, it comes right back like a plague. I ever went to the disgusting Ask site to ask how to uninstall. (A big hint is the entire first page is about questions of how to uninstall.) It said to click on the wrench icon in the upper right corner, then select the search engine you want. I clicked Google, closed out, reopened, and again the virus that is Ask appeared Until they allow me to get their tentacles off my search options I will be sharing my view with everyone I know.

In my brief experience with Ask.com, I NEVER got the actual site I was searching for... always other sites that "might" be able to take me where I want to go. I guess that's why it's called "Ask" since that's all you ever do is... ASK. Maybe there should be a search engine called "FIND".

I wrote this review several months ago but would like to add this. Today, I did a search on my iPhone and apparently picked a site that was sponsored by Ask. Big mistake. Once I was on this site I was unable to go back, close or access my other bookmarks. I was stuck. I had to turn my phone off just to get free of this. I was hijacked and stranded by Ask and I don't appreciate their tactics.

First, I take issue with any company that installs software on my computer without my permission. Second, it resets my home page and search engines periodically. Third, it is impossible to get off your computer. I tried Revo Uninstaller, and Ask.com jammed it for over 1/2 hour. I tried to uninstall it through Windows Uninstaller (My Computer) and, although you allegedly uninstalled it, it is still there. It shows no traces anywhere on the computer in programs and does not show on the uninstall list. In essence, it is like a plague.
