I don't use them regularly anymore. Their prices are high. They do come out to the home. He is a very nice man, but I am not sure he is worth the price. He is responsive, and a very nice guy, I just think he needs to help people who have more money than I do. He is very punctual. I use somebody else now.
Description of Work: He was working with my computer network here at the house, and two laptops.

Contacted Appstar to fix a problem with my laptop computer. My call was answered promptly and the owner/ operator, Mr. C. Lindley came the next day, as scheduled, to work on the problem. Within 10 min.s he had identified the failure and we agreed upon the most favorable solution. Mr. Lindley returned at my request to transfer data between computers and also downloaded several programs from the internet to my system. Mr. Lindley quickly and intelligently communicated with me from start to finish. He is very easy to contact and very obviously is an expert in his vocation. I am more than satisfied with the work he performed as well as the price. I certainly recommend Appstar for anyone with computer issues and I will definitely contact Mr. Lindley regarding any future problems of this nature.

They provided good service. I felt cheated because it went from $66 to $566 so I was taken back. Everything was there so I went with what he told me. I think they need to let people know the price before they come out. I would use them again, but I would be firm with them. They responded well.

I could not connect to the internet so I called Chris Lindley. He came the same day, diagnosed the problem and got me back on line in a short time. He also updated the laptop and put the Start Menu back on it because it disappeared when my laptop updated automatically to Windows 8.1. Chris is professional, knowledgeable and courteous. He gave me the Angie's List discount, and I will use him again in the future.

I called to inquire about their repair services. Chris was very polite. He said they even come to your home to repair your computer. The price was reasonable so I asked when he could come do the repair. He was here in an hour as promised. Was very professional. Completed the requested repair of replacing my broken laptop fan (I already had the replacement part) and was done in about an hour. Easiest repair job I've ever paid for. Well worth every penny. Laptop is working great. Thanks Chris!

Absolutely stellar resource for all problems related to home computers. Chris installed a new SSD hard drive and found/fixed several other problems with an aging desktop PC of ours, which is now serving as a fantastic media computer. We were so happy with his help that we just had him back to tune up a barely-functional laptop, which is as good as new now. Well worth his (very reasonable) fees to keep older computers running well rather than replacing them all the time.

Called before arrival, and stayed until all was completed. He was here for over 3 hours. I had a number of things for him to work on...I have 3 pcs, and all had a problem. He also was able to address issues with other devices.
Description of Work: He repaired a number of electronic items in addition to my computer. He was here for several hours; was friendly and respectful. My previous experience with an Angie's List computer person was not optimal. I will call Chris Lindley again and recommend him to others.

Chris was like a friend. He was easy to reach and had to take my laptop 3 times to find out the very unique problem. He was honest and cooperative and trustworthy. I would call him again.
Description of Work: My computer screen went gray; Chris replaced the screen, which was not really the problem. But after three visits, he did locate the problem, and other than getting a new computer (my laptop is 3 years old), he showed me that the only thing to do was press on a certain part of the keyboard, and the screen view would come back. He also offered to return me what I had paid, OR do another job for me "on the house" in future. The only other option Sony would offer is to tell me to take it to GeekSquad. So, under the circumstances, I was satisfied.

The provider arrived roughly within the designated time frame. He worked on the computer and tested it for 2 hours. He updated the computer's graphics drivers and the envidia one. It seemed to be working fine, still a bit slow though. Over the next few days is did start to blue screen again so my husband called the technician again. He came and picked up the computer. They agreed that he would wipe it and do another clean install. We just got it back yesterday (again, he showed up a little later than expected). My husband noted that it was running faster already. He plans on reinstalling all the programs today. We were not charged extra for the repeat service.
Description of Work: My husband's MSI laptop was blue screening a lot after he tried to wipe it and do a clean install. He did a diagnostic on it and found the source of the problem was the envidia card. The computer was also running slower than expected for a new machine. We had Appstar come out and take a look at it.

This was the second time I used Chis' service. The first time was on June 16 when Chris cleaned up a laptop that was running slow and was using a version of Internet Explorer that was no longer being supported under Windows XP. During the process of cleaning up the out of date laptop, Chris suggested I purchase a new computer with a current version of Windows and the software that would keep my computer running in a efficient manner. While at my home Chris helped me search for a new computer and I settled on an All-In-One which I ordered the next day. Following the receipt of my new computer I had back to help me in setting up the security software and to make certain all features of my new computer were being set up correctly. After Chris had everything set up, he gave me an overview of Windows 8.1. Chris is the ultimate professional and is very knowledgeable of computers and the different operating systems. Chris is the person I will always call when in need of computer support.
Description of Work: Helped me set up a new computer with the software for security and provided an overview for Windows 8.1.

The entire process took a minimal amount of time and the computer worked fine when the work was completed. I did have an additional problem and Chris logged-in remotely and fixed that issue as well. I did not realize that there was an Angie's List Coupon for his services.
Description of Work: A download had changed the computer registry and I could no longer log-on. Chris came and took the computer to his shop and did all that had to be done to get it working again. When he returned the computer, in complete working order, he also reinstalled some software and made sure that the printer was working.

My computer was practically dead. Went on Angie's List and decided to use APPStar. David was prompt and friendly. At first he was worried that my hard drive was going out but after running some test he determined it was fine. My profile was corrupt. He rebuilt my profile and had me up and running in no time. I would definitely use APPStar again.

Appstar gets 10 stars! Chris is awesome! For a "technology guy" he actually speaks "normal everyday English"! This very non-teccy grandma actually understood what he explained and that's sayin' somethin'! I watched his hands fly while driving the mouse and I'm convinced he's a genius at what he does. Believe me when I say that the hack we had was very serious. Chris fixed everything and gave us a peace of mind that is beyond price! I recommend Chris to anyone and everyone! We seasoned citizens may not understand all the workings of a computer but you can trust Chris Lindley in all respects to take care of any problems you have and you'll learn something in the process. I can't recommend him strongly enough! I told him he was "adopted" now and part of the family. He's our go-to guy! Thanks, Chris!
Description of Work: Chris came over the very next morning after we'd called him in the late afternoon. He came on a Sunday! He's a very personable guy with professional talent. He diagnosed the hack attack that permeated our computer and then got rid of it totally! He cleaned, cleared, and help organize other areas of the computer. He also gave advice, taught me some things about computer operation, and most of all gave us peace of mind that we were now enemy free!

Chris gave me an appointment for the day after I called him, even though it was Saturday. He called when he was on his way and showed up when he said he would. Within minutes of sitting down at my computer, he diagnosed the problem and corrected it. He was very nice as he answered my questions and showed me how to do some things I hadn't known how to do.

Chris arrived on time and returned my computer in the promised time frame which was both reasonable and thoughtful considering that I had been w/o a computer for many days.. He is competent, friendly, professional and open to sharing his expertise and opinions. He made many useful suggestions which I will follow. I would definitely recommend his services.
Description of Work: Installed a new hard drive on my computer and added more memory. Price was the exact quoted amount plus he applied an expired "big deal" coupon toward the additional memory for which I am grateful. He also tweaked some minor items on my computer at no charge.
