Don’t Bother!

Every search returns with a ton of “possible” or “likely” info. I searched myself and nearly everything is incorrect - addresses I’ve never lived at, phone numbers I’ve never had, stated no education history or licenses found, etc. I’m a nurse. Obviously I went to school. I have a nursing license issued by New York State. It’s public information. How is this site unable to find that during their “extensive public record search”? How can someone be born in 1990 and be 113 years old? At first I thought the date may have been 1890 and was input incorrectly but that still wouldn’t be 113. If simple math is above the developers head, it’s no surprise everything else on this site is garbage too.

We apologize you were unhappy with some of the information in our reports. Since we rely on third-party data sources, we can only display the information that we were provided, which could potentially include incomplete or inaccurate data. Sincerely, Instant Checkmate Support

Great Screening Tool...but you still have to filter!

ICM (instant check mate) gives you a treasure trove of information. Fairly easy to read and fairly current. That said, you still have to make sure you are looking at the right person, and beware that ‘associates’ may just be people that lived at the same apartment complex (and who knows their neighbors, really?!). Real estate info is too voluminous, and should be summarized. Finally...way too much focus on nearby ‘sex offenders’. I don’t think all sex offenders like to live near each other...or do they?

Instant Checkmate is a RIP OFF and a SCAM

I’d avoid these guys if I were you! Reports don’t offer much information. Tried canceling through app. Sent customer service multiple messages asking how to cancel and never received a reply. Was billed for 3 months.
When I called customer service the supervisor would not take my call. Fortunately Apple refunded 2 months.
Was a mistake ordering this app!!!

Hi there, Thank you for reaching out. We’re sorry to hear that you were unhappy with the information in your report. While most of our reports are quite thorough, we obtain public records through data sources like local county courthouses and census bureaus, and sometimes information can be missing or inaccurate. We also apologize that you had a negative experience trying to cancel. At the present time, we only have a Customer Care phone number and not a messaging service, so we apologize if you obtained incorrect information about how to reach us. Like all App Store apps, we can’t cancel or modify a subscription on your behalf. All changes must be made through the App Store. This article contains more information about how to change a subscription through iTunes. https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT202039 If you have any concerns or questions, please contact our Customer Care team on 1-800-222-8985. Please let us know if there’s any way we can improve your experience. Sincerely, Instant Checkmate Support

Love this!! So much info!

Love this!

Horrible...

I was willing to pay to access to my background information. It just go through the process and then it just sits while the downloading icon is just going on and on. Deleted it. 😐
Also I feel that it’s kind of tricky to pay to get full access and it’s too expensive. No thanks!

Review

Great app easy to use

Very limited

Unless you pay, you can get the same or more info by simply googling a persons name. The information in the app is also often dated or incorrect confusing and mixing info with same name others. I don’t find this useful for much of anything. I don’t know what f info is more valid upon payment but I’m not going to pay to find out.

Amazing app

And it’s very accurate. Minor things are off but over all the app is pretty good.

Best for the price

I like this app it actually monitors and gives you new numbers when they’re available and easy to use

Ripped off

I tried this service for a few days. Did 2 background checks as a test. One on myself and one on a person I know well. Both were inaccurate! I told them about it by email after 2 loooong waiting sessions on the Customer support line with no result. Long story short, Instant Checkmate took my money but did not deliver accurate services. I deem this a scam and dangerous because you cannot trust the outdated and incomplete information on the background check performed by Instant Checkmate.
Surprised if this will post or stay posted.
