Pretty terrible app. Locks up when trying to search. Filters suck. I have a birthplace, name, date of birth, but don't know where they live. I can enter where they live in the search, but not the info I actually have that could help. If I knew where they lived, I wouldn't need an app to find them. There wasn't an option for negative stars.

TOTAL SCAM. DO NOT DOWNLOAD. I chose the get information on the phone number only option and after paying the $2 that's all it told me was that it was an AT&t phone. It actually told me that for free on the same page before I paid! Just like the other person who left a review who got scammed they thought they would get the name. You literally made us pay for something that you had broadcast with the initial free scan. outrageous. in your face rip off. do you guys not realize this?????

My experience is wonderful, the app is so useful. It's Fantastic that is no lie. And I'm not trying to just make the app sound great for the hell of it. It is great. It's wonderful. I think anyone needing a little more help with identifying the calls and to help get the contacts in order and to get some extra info about people your not sure of should have this app. It's good to double check your kids friends. And for your own welfare. A++++++😉😉😉😉😉😉😉😉😉😉

Alot of good stuff. It does get some things wrong. And alot of times I come up with nothing. So that's pretty frustrating. But I use it as much as possible. Little pricey to get the other add-ons. There's places alot cheaper. And paying for 1 or 2 people a month is way better than 20 a month unless you run a business or looking up people around your family.

Could be more accurate (for the service) - but better than most! Especially for the social media results. As for the app: works pretty well in most things but the updates section is terrible, and a couple other minor things I can't currently recall - but might edit this later to list them, should I remember.

I've been using spokeo since 2001. Its given me insight and resolution to many problems. Its like your own private detective. Recently I've tried to use my subscription 3 times and I pay the fee every three months and I have no access. The info in the app is great billing and subscriptions not so much. Hopefully this can be resolved.

I tried to pay for a subscription via the Play Store. The app says it needs confirmation of payment, and the Play Store says that confirmation will occur upon opening the app... but it doesn't, rendering my "unconfirmed" payment for subscription useless. I would've given Spokeo my patronage [$$$]. However, it is apparently impossible for me to subscribe. Truly a shame that poor coding cost you my business (and I'm surely not the only possible customer).

it's okay for looking up phone numbers for the most part sometimes it has different profiles for the same person and no way to tell it that they're the same person or at least suggest it to them so they can put them together and have all the information one place, as far as the legal background check part don't waste your money my records as long as my leg I searched myself all I found was to driving parking tickets

I give it 4 stars cause a lot of times, the info result/results are old or needed to be updated.... especially with looking up phone numbers and things. The results, even if it's the correct person or person's, can typically be old information as well as it can give a correct individual, but things like age and residence, will be old information. Today (Jan 17th, 2023 @7:49am), I changed my 4 star rating to a 5 because of the response, given here, by the developers which shows their detication.

Becareful when you use this search engine. When I used it and paid the 1 time fee to do a search. The website automatically signed me up to a subscription service without .e knowledge or permission. When I received the monthly fee of $24.95 I called and disputed it. But due to bad policies. The person I spoke with could only refund me $9.98. I will never use spokeo again because of this shady practice. Infact I'd rate this with 0 stars if it was possible.

anything that sounds good to be true, usually is. the app says free which makes us download it, but as soon as you want to see the results of a search, it hits you with membership sign ups. its free to download, but you have to pay at the end 0f the day. you be better off just blocking unwanted calls.

Paid for a month subscription and it's now saying that I can't search without paying. It also won't allow me to reenter payment information. I know it's just a glitch but 9.99/mo for this to not even work but still charge my account is ridiculous. And don't tell me to reach out to customer support, I've read enough reviews to know they won't help.

Totally Unreliable information, while testing numbers and addresses for known people and businesses, most of them came back with incorrect information, at least 90% of them. Also the service is very hard to cancel, I had to search the website for quite a while before being able to cancel the services when initial trial was up and then was still unable to remove my payment information, so I was charged for a month for services that are utterly inaccurate and ultimately useless for anything.

The info on a lot of people needs to be updated if possible. And I understand the need to pay for a subscription, but could you maybe finagle the pricing just a little if the info isnt fully updated? Other than that, it's very user friendly! I searched my ex, fiybd some things I hadn't known about him. In summary, decent app with decent info, just try to finagle that pricing!!

Overall I think it is a decent app. The search tool is utter garbage. The "advanced" search options do very little to filter the results. What really upset me was the extra paywalls. You pay for a monthly subscription which gives you the basic information, but to gain access to court documents or historical data (like marriage/birth certificates) you have to purchase add-ons to your subscription. After all that it's even more $ to print. The customer service is the only redeeming quality.

They kind of present it as a People Finder kind of App but I'm still trying to figure out what the hell I just paid for. It said you can do reverse phone numbers searches. The only thing it gives you is so broad it's really worthless. For example, if I want to lookup sketchy dude hanging out at the dog park without a dog and called my daughter 24 times in two hours, I can't. Well, all I could get was that it was a land-line in Denver, when it was a Mobile 90 miles away.

If I could give a 0, I would. They CLAIM AND IT IS PRINTED you can cancel at any time. I sent an email requesting to be canceled after they gave me a premium membership. Not what I wanted. All of a sudden they put a sliding scale from 9.99 a month -34.99 a month. That is absolutely false advertising. Their info is so outdated and useless I can get ftom public voter registration info. Sending credit card folks my info and this useless acct will be canceled. Do not be duped. End of story.

The single most useless app I have ever installed. It provides an actual name for one out of every 13 numbers that I submit. It gives an approximate area of the state for 4 other numbers and it can't find any info whatsoever on the remaining numbers, several of which are either toll free or commercial numbers which Google found immediately. They do offer to give you info on the neighbors of the person they couldn't identify. I was pretty excited about that..uh, no wait, no I wasn't. Useless.

Information found is available publicly, but I kept my subscription until recently (I can't afford it now) because it was a convenient. I took away a star because there is no option to unsubscribe from Playstore or the app. You actually have to call them. I did call and spoke with Aria (1570), who was incredibly polite. I would consider resubscribing when the economy bounces back because of the customer service and convenience.

Several years ago I paid for an unlimited lifetime subscription. They changed their subscription model and don't honor the membership I paid for. Because of that, I paid for a phone number lookups. For $5 all they told me was the city the number was from. *Edit* Thanks for your reply! You did a great job not addressing the point that you sold me a lifetime subscription then changed your pricing model and don't honor your subscriptions anymore.
