Ratings and reviews

This app is a scam. First, I paid signed up for the $4.99/mo and when tried to run it, no matter what I click, you need to pay the full price. Ok, I pay the full price, then the reports keeps on loading and never get anything. When I tried by an email address, it just gave me what I know. I think this is more for newly met people.

Called support but they did nothing. I can't look up anything. Even with the area code it won't even give you an idea of where the call originated from. Also it won't even tell if it's a spam phone number. White pages free app at least let's you know if it spam or phishing. It works intermittently for some numbers. It can't handle the "+" symbol in the phone look up. Having to do extra steps. The support staff is clueless on how to fix or even troubleshoot problems. They have know bugs but making no attempt to fix.

I tried to look up someone by using their phone number and I got a completely different person. Gender, name, ethnicity... Everything was wrong. The only thing they got right was the point carrier. I just wanted to find out info on that person's call history as advertised, and it didn't work. They just try to charge an additional $36 for a background check, which I don't care for. Definitely unsubscribed ASAP
