GetApp.com Answers is a community-driven question-and-answer (Q&A) site that allows users to both submit questions to be answered and answer questions asked by other users. The site gives members the chance to earn points as a way to encourage participation.
Ask a question that matters to you, so that other people can give you answers. When asking a question, you categorize it in a topic, making it easier for others to find and answer it. Once your question is answered, select the best answer, or have the community vote for the best answer.
Have an answer to a question? Help other users out and earn points while doing so. Use the category list on the left side of each page to find open questions related to the topic you know about. You can also use the search box on the left side of each page to find questions and answers related to specific words and phrases. Your answer may be chosen as the best one, earning you extra points and prestige.
