I went on line to ask 1 question as to why my printer is not printing black ink and how to fix it. There were "instructions" - but it didn't work. Little did I know they were charging my credit card 6 times for $44. I know - my fault - one of my flaws - I hate bills and statements. I just pay the bill without looking. But i NEVER agreed to pay $44 a month - especially since I wanted help with 1 question and they failed!

Aug 7, 2026

I have used JustAnswer various times, also with quite outlandish questions. They have been able to support me every time. Great platform and very cost-efficient service!

Aug 5, 2026

I needed some guidance on how to go about ending well water access with a verbal agreement only. Richard was very thorough and gave me a great starting point for tackling this issue!

Aug 4, 2026

No waiting. The Vet called me within 3 minutes. She was professional and answered all my questions. She made sure I understood her recommendations before we hung up.

Jul 31, 2026

The Dr called back right away, even though I missed the first call. She answered my "required vaccinations" question, but also shared situational suggestions that were helpful.

Jul 18, 2026

I am scheduled for knee replacement surgery in about 2 weeks. He was able to answer my question regarding medications completely. The other question involved local knowledge which presumably he did not have but gave me an idea of where to check next.

Jul 18, 2026

Approximately every 2 to 3 hours I would have a feeling of intensity all over my body, with my vision, mildly hampered, and my heart pounding. The doctor was able to provide some comfort, but also point me in the right direction for medical help. Good folks.

Jul 14, 2026

My young dog got into my old dog's medication on the Fourth of July. I was able to get connected with a veterinarian fairly quickly who eased my mind that everything would be OK.

Jul 3, 2026

Great experience, vacuum was not picking up. We went through all the possible issues that could cause this and in a very short time my issue was resolved.

Jun 23, 2026

Dog had gotten into an Ant Stake and we were concerned, due to warnings on product warning. Getting a feedback to calm our concerns was awesome, all within minutes

Jun 21, 2026

Unit failed to provide continuous pressure. Technician asked what nozzle was at end my response black plastic one. He said that's the soap tip all water pressure tips are metal. I got one from a neighbor s unit and all is good. The problem was figured out by Moose in about 5 minutes of conversation. Thank you very much.

Jun 9, 2026

The young lady was knowledgeable, professional, patient and courteous. She walked me through step by step until I got it right. Very pleased with my experience.

Jun 8, 2026

They provided a diagram with parts and part numbers. They also made suggestions of alternative places to find replacement brush since ours is discontinued.

Jun 6, 2026

Helped diagnose and narrow the possible causes for my loud refrigerator noises. Provided parts info and video instructions on how to fix. Works great now!

Jun 5, 2026

Technician's answers were clear and concise. Appreciated the message to say that he was searching for an answer to my query as we went through various stages.

Jun 3, 2026

I have some sweet baby chicks who have had a few issues. Dr. E was excellent and gave me valuable feedback. My only concern was being charged significantly more than what the initial chat person said- but any price is worth it for them.

Jun 3, 2026

Good conversation, however lawyer does not practice in the state of Florida and limited in her responses. Also, I'm surprised the charge on my credit card is $65 dollars. Thought it was only to be $5.

Jun 1, 2026

Austin talked us through the entire process of fixing our dishwasher. We got disconnected a few times but he continued to call back. We were very pleased with his knowledge and helpfulness.

May 31, 2026

Bad weather possibly fried the motherboard on our older model french door fridge display. But Just Answers, Matthew Morrison, answered my call with politeness, knowledge and helpfulness. I told him what was going on and he even looked up the part I needed to easily replace it. Saved me a lot of money, so I didn't need to hire a repair team!

May 26, 2026

After some trouble shooting on our own, Our customer service rep did an excellent job walking us through the next steps to get it up and running rather easily.

JA service was fast, informative and helpful. Unfortunately Yahoo has been unresponsive after unexplained disappearance of more than 10,000 emails, many of which are important to my business

May 19, 2026

I asked about back pain and muscle spasms after a deep tissue massage. Dr. Josh relayed the concerns, and solutions quickly and in an easy to understand manner. My next steps are laid out and I'm very pleased with his advice.

May 17, 2026

I bought a new class c rv and am having a plumbing issue. As with many such cases, there are may reasons why this is occurring. The technician seems to have covered all of them.

May 14, 2026

My experience with Linda CPA was wonderful. All my questions were answered quickly, clearly, and directly. Truly an expert in this matter. I'm very thankful.

May 13, 2026

Benji was an excellent help. He clearly and precisely answered what I needed. A pleasant experience. Now I know how to clarify my doubts in the future. THANK YOU.

May 13, 2026

Connection via online chat worked well. I was connected to someone who could direct me to some troubleshooting tips. With the issue intermittent, I can't tell if it completely works, but for now it's good.

May 8, 2026

I was very impressed with the time it took for Derrick to call me. Less than 5 min! As a Toyota technician, Derrick offered 4 possible solutions. I'm following up with my mechanic later today and hopefully we'll resolve this issue. Thank you

May 5, 2026

Having starting problems and have checked out all of the usual suspects. Thought I would get an opinion more knowledgeable than my own. He had several other ideas to check so the search goes on Great resource for those of us who make pretty good parts swappers!

Apr 30, 2026

Very good and timely. Active engaged conversation. Other than the minimal charge for the account, will there be any more charges? I was a little surprised not asked to provide pic or video

Apr 25, 2026

Robert was reassuring even though not too much that could be done about my situation but not cause of him he still tried to help even if I didn't have enough info. Very nice young man

Apr 25, 2026

Good experience with tech. Accomplished what I needed done. But was suppose to be charged $5 refundable fee. You charged my account $70. Want a refund of these unwarranted charges. Thanks

Apr 23, 2026

"Very positive experience with JustAnswer. The gentleman was professional, asked the right questions, and genuinely tried to resolve my issue. I appreciated his help."

Apr 4, 2026

She was very understanding of my inquiry. Led me through steps to help solve issue. Wish all folks would be like her. Had a very frustrating night but the lady made my day much better. Thank you!

Mar 30, 2026

Helpful overall - took more "Bot Chat" to get to him than I'd like. Could have asked for all contact info at once instead a series of individual Qs (e.g. Name, phone, email, zip code, etc.). While service was good, end result, no so. Appears we may have hardware issues...

Mar 29, 2026

First time caller, they surprise you w a $5 supposedly refundable fee, i was desperate so went for it. The Tech was awesome. He was patient, so incredibly helpful and persistent. We got it fixed yay. Cant say enough about him. Turns out the $5 fee is attached to some $38 monthly membership scam that auto renews annually of course. I cancelled that membership this morning. Not sure if i get any refund but at this point im thrilled my device works!

Mar 23, 2026

I went online seeking some answers and never expected to receive in details from every question that I asked. Will most definitely seek legal help when the time is right.

Mar 21, 2026

I'm very excited to have found this resource. There's a lot to know about my camper and now that I've got some resources, I'll be much more informed! Super happy with what your service provides.

The consultant was very thorough in her answer and prompt. She gave me why my scenario may warrant more than Ii thought and questions to ask the life insurance that I did not think of.

Mar 19, 2026

They helped track where my package was when tracking #was wrong, I m a old lady that doesn't know much about cell phones(old school). They were great 👍.

Mar 12, 2026

Howard was incredibly thorough and answered all of my questions even as new ones came up. He not only provided peace of mind but gave me actionable advice on how to proceed in my matter.

Mar 10, 2026

He showed much patience and persistence over 3 days to solve my problem. Always gave very detailed next steps and was great for me who is not a computer expert.

Mar 10, 2026

JustAnswer walked me through problem solving the lost connection with my Echo. After four days of trying to figure it out I turned to JustAnswer. Solved in less than an hour. Thank you. Great service.

Mar 9, 2026

Was having problems with my blink cameras. Erik assisted via a comprehensive JA text that while it didn't completely solve the issue at hand, it got me back to digging through router settings, updating firmware and the like. Extremely recommended!

Mar 6, 2026

Our puppy found an old pill under the stove and we were freaking out since we knew some meds can be toxic. I received a quick reply and was able to relax knowing she would be ok. Thank you for this service!

Mar 5, 2026

Kathy needs 10 stars for her patience helping this 83 year old senior who is also technically challenged. She should get a raise and a few hugs for the time that she spent with me to get my situation fixed so I would have some peace of mind. Blessings

Mar 4, 2026

Quick connection to agent. He restated my question until we agreed upon the problem. Quickly addressed my concerns and gave me excellent advise for future years.

Mar 4, 2026

Put my mind at rest when I accidentally sprayed lemon essential oil in a room where my kittens were. Thankfully they're not showing any symptoms so just need to monitor for now

Mar 3, 2026

Online attorney Richard took in my info about problem. Then he asked couple specific questions and produced a set of very reasonable steps I could take to get at a solution. His help much appreciated.

Help with honesty
December 1, 2015

If you need help this is the place to be. I was able to get my answer in a very timely manner. I was given information regarding medication and doses. The medication was natural and cost way less than a visit to the vet, also it is instant and readily available. The tone of the answer was caring and that made me very happy. Thank you for your integrity.

Nowhere to turn
November 23, 2015

Somewhere when you have nowhere to turn and you need help then just answer is the place to go, for a small fee you can get help or at least pointed in the right direction, you could waste time (and money) going the wrong way, this site makes sure that doesnt happen

My favorite cat consultant!
November 23, 2015

When ever I am stressed out over a cat issue. I feel assured that my personal favorite cat expert, Teri Reba, Will always help put my mind at ease. She offers remedies, sound advice, links to follow ups and just the most comforting feeling. She has helped me on many occasions and I have a special admiration for her caring advice. I highly recommend her! I am sure just answer has many people as competent, but I really love and trust her advice!

Informative, Caring and Understanding Doctors
November 20, 2015

I visited this site by doing a internet search and I'm so HAPPY I found it. I had questions concerning myself and my puppy. Both doctors I was directed to answered my questions very satisfactory, while they also were caring and understanding. I would definitely recommend this site to family and friends. I bookmark the site in my favorite so I will have it, just in case I have more health issue concerns and want knowledgeable, caring answers fast. While being home, at my convenience or no matter what time it is day or night. I wish I would have known about this site long before now. I honestly wish it would be as easy to talk to my personal doctors, as it was to the doctors I connected to on this site! :o)

Very rapid response
November 17, 2015

I get nervous when needing to call out a washing machine repairman. So I decided to do it myself. The cost was stated up front and the expert got back to me very fast so that I could make the necessary repair, which ended up to be easy after being told what to do. Also, the expert stated things in a simple, uncomplicated way so there was no guessing. I would call again. But I don't want a long term contract with them. Just pay as you go.

A simple request from their "expert" was completely botched up on three occasions, so I complained and was offered a refund. Well lo & behold, one month later, no refund, but they have debited my credit card for a further $50. Please do yourself a favour & don't be as stupid as I was by asking for assistance from one of their "experts".

When a site ask for credit card information upfront, I ALWAYS head to Consumer Protection's site for ratings and reviews. This site has over 400 negative complaints and reviews with Consumer Protection, and claim to have a A+ rating, but when I looked it said 16% positive reviews.

JustAnswer website not total picture
October 22, 2015

The JustAnswer website is unfortunately not a complete picture of how they operate or customer satisfaction. On their site there are 396 customer reviews, all positive. However, outside their website I have found over 400 reviews that are negative. They do NOT post any negative reviews. Also, their claims of not billling until 100% satisfied are NOT true. They bill when you submit a question and they are VERY reticent to refund. I never saw an answer to my question and my DISCOVER Card was it with two charges totalling $61. Also, be careful about what is "represented" on their website. In my instance they used the KUBOTA logo and name and also claimed that I could "ask a KUBOTA technician". Obviously, this was not the case at all. Their system is VERY slick but ends up being VERY misleading. I personally will avoid using them ever again.

Absolute scam
September 30, 2015

I used my credit card to ask a simple question about my mobile phone to Just Answer. I have been charged $54 per month since! I have emailed this company I even phoned and left a message. I have tried to follow the prompts to cancel the payments but am blocked even though I have signed on. After seeking external legal advice and have contacted the bank I have been advised that the only successful way to stop these illegal transactions being withdrawn each month from my account is to cancel my credit card! How appalling is that!

Terriable service- steer clear!
September 27, 2015

Just Answers boarders on being a scam. My question around a car problem was not answered for days and the advice was repeatedly wrong. Stupidly, I clicked on their "trail" offer and got my credit card charged for three months before my wife alerted me. You might get a good answer if you don't know how to screw in a lightbulb, but for 99.999% of humans, don't go near this operation

I had a great experience...
September 14, 2015

I'm surprised to see all these really negative reviews. I contacted JustAnswer after trying to make an appointment with a local dermatologist and not finding anyone to get in with for two weeks. My question was pretty simple, and a good photo showed most of what needed to be relayed. My question to the JustAnswer dermatologist was answered professionally and thoroughly, about 1 hour after I asked it. I had a continuing conversation with this dermatologist that lasted over the course of a week, with lots of great advice. I am a nurse practitioner and know that the advice given was sound. Admittedly, they do seem to charge you before your question is answered, so I am not sure about the claim that you only pay once you are satisfied. But I was satisfied, so I am happy to have paid what I did pay. I recommend the service with caution though, because clearly others didn't have the positive experience that I had!

I signed up for get the answer or don't pay... I paid and never got the answer. I got request after request to take picture of the part, then take a picture of it taken out of the product, etc etc.
I had someone else fix it and get me the right parts.
Then, I not only paid, but kept getting their email advertisements. When I would go to the bottom and hit unsubscribe me... you only go to their web site to offer yet another question for a fee.
I had to write for my refund, which was denied because I did not claim it within 30 days (I had to let them know vs me paying only when resolved?) and I requested they remove me from their mailing list again since it does not work appropriately as it should.
