Reviews for Whitepages Search, Find People

I dont know what happened, but for me, this app has always worked fantastic! I was a very satisfied customer off & on for years (I canceled my premium subscription several times but always signed up again after a short time). I've been subscribed with premium again for the last several months, but the app AND the website haven't worked for me the entire time. Again, it used to be great and I was 100% satisfied but the last several months I have been HIGHLY DISSATISFIED! 😤

It works well, doesn't nag me to upgrade all the time, and tells me the info that is public, for free. The paid version digs deeper. I like it better than all of the cheap paid ones I tried. I should try the paid version again, since it is all new and better since I did it, like over a year ago it's for finding numbers and reverse phone lookup, to find out who is calling you. I signed up again for the premium service and like it so far. Big improvements. Aaaaand here we go!-it's worth it!

I gave up this app after my last review. I had it for over 10 years and was strongly dissatisfied. Recently, I picked it up again hoping it would have been improved. Actually it was worse, limiting the number of times accessing. It makes no sense. It costs NOTHING for the initial info. I'd rather have the old fashioned phone book, and the phone company would not charge for 4-1-1 calls. Ridiculous to call it Whitepages. It does not compare with the real white pages.

This is my second review of this app. I still can not do any searches, run reports or anything it claims. The only thing this app does is gets a payment from me monthly and when i try to do a simple search the app never connects and then a pop up box reads "server is temporarily unavailable". I've been paying for a "premium" account for many months and have successfully done 1 search. If the app worked like it did months ago ( when I did the one and only search) then I would rate it 5 stars.

I used to absolutely love white pages but its gone to 💩💩💩 ! It's totally not worth paying premium for because you only get a certain number of searches & even then you have to pay for certain information. The free version WAS great but now they're pushing you to buy it so hard you get hardly any searches then it'll say "you've reached your free limit" so I have to un-install it then re-download it only to get a few searches & have to do that all over.

I paid for the optional "premium" service to assist in my safety as a sole proprietor. But even with the subscription, nine times out of ten, a reverse search yields no information on the caller. I'm not sure there is a single advantage to the subscription. My recommendation is to install the app and gamble on the free version. Your search has about the same odds of returning with information.

The data base is pretty accurate however the app seems to have a mind of its own. Since I pay for premium the amount of look up are limited to 100. I choose to only unlock particular contacts. I have the setting turn on. It is not supposed to unlock everyone I click on. But it does. I waste my look ups on people I accidentally click on and people who don't actually live there. I think they do it on purpose so we can use up our contacts and be forced to buy more. Switch to Spokeo or fastpeople

2017: Love it. Helped me so much when I had to send out Graduation Announcements and need addresses. 2023 UPDATE: I've been using this for years and never had a problem. But now all of a sudden it's just a money skeem! They definitely lost a long time customer because money is more important than quality. There's so many more apps out there that are free and give you more information than this app does. I paid 99c and didn't even get my searches I paid for but it sure did come out of my bank!

Sometimes it doesn't provide the correct info, but considering that the correct info is not provided to wp; or the correct source of any call, email, etc is so diluted that wp cannot discern whether or not the source calling, emailing, messaging you is verified & true, this app exceeds above any other app of it's kind, at least for free! I've tried many, even paid money at times & still ended up with no more info than what I started out with. At least I'm provided a starting point with wp.

Before 2019 when i gave my 5* review, this app was one of those few things in life that worked the way it was supposed to. At 3.99 and even 4.99 a mo it was a good deal. Like 90% of all reverse searchs i got a name for. Mostly cell phone numbers but some residential and business numbers too. And of that 90% probably 80% of the names were current and matched the numbers correctly. I got unlimited searches too. Then something happened..greed. They raised the price n maybe 10% do you find a name

Will input phone number lookup and receive message "we couldn't find any phone named.....(whatever number)." I am not looking for a phone with a name, but a number in search of a name. No longer able to find a person in name search when before l could. Can no longer find results for any search. Strange. Will try re-install. Did uninstall and re-install. Works perfectly. Also sent an email to support but didn't receive an acknowledgementment.

Extremely disappointed. The databases are incredibly messed up. Even though I have a premium subscription, it errors out on searches and makes them unavailable. It provides different and inaccurate information for any searches that do work. When I go to check my account, it shows me different people's accounts, including their credit card information! Obviously a very unsafe and unsecured customer database. I have screenshots of this happening. Utterly useless now after their revamp.

This used to be a very decent app. I have a premium prescription. I would use it to call lists of people turning 65 using voice to fill in the name. I chose the # with a push of the button and I was calling the person. It had cell phones everything. Then, on the app I no longer had access to the premium content on the app, only on the website. I emailed support twice. They told me saying they couldn't tell me if they would ever fix that feature on the app. Complex defeat its functionality

Hardly ever gives you any helpful information. And for at least a month now, you'll look up a number and it pops up with the company the number's from, but disappears before you can read the whole thing. (And still has the dimmed loading screen blocking the way too, so makes it even harder to read anything). Then it says there's no info on the number. So what was popping up for a split second then?!

Update: This app is a huge disappointnent now. It was great in the early yrs, before someone got GREEDY! And it was FREE! NOW, they are charging an arm & a leg for a few searches. There seems to be less services provided, for more $$. My membership goes back to pre-2012. These rates are ridiculous. You have already sold your database to other predators, why are you taking us for $$$$ !! UPDATE for -> I love this App. Only thing I miss is seeing the complaints against certain numbers.

I signed up for the monthly subscription service. It was never processed that I paid for it despite the money being deducted from my account. I then talk to customer support.....did not resolve the issue. Waited a few days to see if it just needed time to reset or something. Nope still asking me to pay. Said fine will pay the individual look up fee. Fee was charged then the app froze and had to be closed. Still nothing. Uninstalled and reinstalled nothing. So the app just stole $10 from me.

Total money soaker. Multitude of charges for everything! Even after paying for premium! Still wants to charge for multiple items. Even half the numbers you look up. If you dont buy premium. They dont show for free. Less than honest! When you look up a numbet and they have NO results. It still counts against your limit. Currently looking for a better and more honest app.

One star... one more than I want to rate. This app is a waste of space if you aren't paying for premium features. For instance: no matter what I look up anymore, it says something along the lines of no info available for persons, addresses, or numbers. However, when I purchase info, the same info for the same parameters magically appear. Used to be very helpful in my line of work. Now it's just a waste.

Awful app. I purchased the one time lookup for $3.99. All it tells me is the number is low spam, which is on the free version. My "account" shows the lookup I purchased hasn't been used. I tried creating an account, but you have to buy a premium account to create an account. Now I'm stuck with no way to look up the number and a lookup credit I can't use. Total ripoff!!!!

The amount of search does not update monthly. For two months it showed I have 0 searches left. Twice I have to email them to inform them of this. Then I was told to log in the desktop and then log back in on the app. Too much trouble to get the service that I paid for an app that doesn't lag charging me monthly. UPDATE: Issue unresolved. I gave it another chance and bought the 3.99 3 lookup. The first two counted my lookup despite saying there was an error. I do not recommend.
