This app
August 8, 2022

This app. Continues to want feed back and rating interrupting the report I am trying to read
This is everything I try and look at the report I requested. Mak I ng it impossible cor me to begin reading this report. It does it everything u try and read the one report. So basically I get to see the name of my dad. Which I already know my dad's name. This app is like all other background check apps. And what's worse I just paid for there premium report. Lousy program. Not worth the $. Don't waste your time.

After having bought the 1 month subscription it doesn't give me nearly the amount of information I'm expecting to get for nearly 30$ then having to buy a premium report for an extra 20$ doesn't seen too great either, however, I've only just barely gotten into this website so I'm going to try more of my family and hope for the best

Not enough info
August 8, 2022
Updated review

After looking at the report, there just wasn't enough info. Everything on the report I could find on other sites free. Don't like how the app was set up too hard to use. Not worth the money.

So far so good but haven't viewed the report yet but it took forever to get it

Not as advertised. No mention of a "premium report" prior to payment of the standard report. Waste of money.

William Birge is a convicted felon who has spent years in prison. He is currently in jail. I am very upset that you are showing nothing on his criminal history.

This is info that is available on Google which I did not have to pay for. Plus, he is divorced and that is on Google and this shows it could not find anything. Frustrated I paid for what I already knew.

I like it, but everything you get a notification saying look at individuals mugshots or we found more shocking information. It is nothing new, same stuff.
