A little wonky
October 20, 2022

Not very helpful. Somewhat accurate but when I searched myself it was way off in marriage licenses. Didn't even have the one that exists.

The first report had no information that was useful. But had to pay for the premium report.

For $27.99 I did not find out any information that I didn't already know! So I'd like a refund. Gail Hill

My NAME was inaccurate
October 20, 2022

I am identified with my ex-husband's last name, who I divorced in 2005. It's 2022, 17 years later, and you can't get my name right.

Interesting, but not accurate
October 20, 2022

IT didnt show my 3 marriages and divorces nor my other names.

It also didnt show this for my husband either.

I thought it was free. Nothings free anymore

I guess this is how the telemarketers get your name and cell phone info

Incomplete basic info
October 20, 2022

Incomplete basic info. Errors of fact. When I called with this problem I was told that a 25% charge would be applied. A scam. Any legitimate company after initial use would have fully credited my account.

Not enough
September 20, 2022

You get basic info name, address, birthdate, previous addresses (might have pics), zodiac sign, and aliases (other people with same name), no marriage info, no death Info, no divorce info, you want more in depth... pay for it. My husband died and there is no public info on that? It says you might be shocked what you find... pay for it and then you will be shocked and on a 2x premium report. Comments don't mention after the download you don't see till you pay for it.

Marriage licenses?
October 20, 2022

Why aren't marriage licenses listed? Your site explains it depends on the state as to whether the information is provided. None of the people I searched in different states had info?

I wanted information on the dates of marriage and divorce. Your website lied about that. You can't look at either site.
