Legit did not even know AL was still a thing.
Whatever it is, I’m pretty sure I wont like it. I used to love Angie’s List because I could plug in the name of a company that I was considering hiring and see what other customers thought of it. Now, the website forces me into a search for a specific job I need done and matches me with providers. AS a homeowner, I find it essentially useless
The name and logo were well recognized and respected. I understand feeling the need to change under the new owners – but I would have left it as Angie’s List. I don’t care for the new website either. I want to have the option to put in a company name and search reviews – not services. Also, time to remove all traces of the old name and logo because for years I drive the old campus on Washington Street and think is it still Angie’s List or HoneAdvisor? Mixed messages can confuse and doom a brand.
Well heck I didn’t know Angie’s List or Angi was even around anymore. I thought they left – or promised to leave – this terrible state due to the horrible impact of RAFRA. I guess not.
I echo Richard. I used to rely on Angi’s List because I could evaluate reviews of various companies and then select the one I wanted to work with. It provided a simple and useful service. Now I’m forced to answer a bunch of questions and then force-fed companies to contact. It does away with a sense of autonomy for consumer. It may attract more companies because it serves as an agent for the companies, but it’s lost its homespun public square vibe, and integrity, and customers like me. Angi’s List – go back to the original formula. You have lost your mojo!
