Greedy!
I have had this app since it became available, on my first smartphone. As I search for a few addresses I have lost, its asking me to pay.
What? Its always previously been free. I just read the description, pay $5 for 20 searches? Or 3? Its as clear as mud. You guys went the wrong way. You could have sold so much add time, and freebie lovers like myself would have tolerated a 15 second add for free use.
Good luck, I just deleted and so will many others who find your decision to charge unfounded. Remember free telephone books we got yearly? Those certainly cost a bunch, yet somehow we always had one. I’m sure it was rolled into our home phone bill. Why not strike deals with cell carriers as home phones become useless? So many other options. Ah well, its a killer opportunity for other app makers to make good use of your bad choice.

IT’S FIXED!! I’m so happy!!
The most recent version (3.6.21) has finally fixed a long-standing issue that vexed me to no end: telephone numbers copied to the pasteboard now automatically trigger a reverse-number search upon app start or return. That means there’s no longer the added friction of having to initiate the search by first switching over to the phone number lookup tab and then manually pasting the copied number into the search field and pressing the search button. All of that friction is now banished and things are Back To The Way They Used To Be when life made sense. Thank You, Devs!
I wouldn’t have posted this review without first verifying that the app is working properly for both iOS 15.7.1 AND iOS 14.8.1. I haven’t tested it on any iOS 16 devices because I won’t run that version of iOS until at least the 16.2 version is released and known to not be a complete mess.

WHITE PAGES
1). Many times I’m wondering how just how current the data is on this site because there have been errors for us and for other family members. Yet so far it’s the most affordable PEOPLE SEARCH I’ve been able to find. 2). While I’m mindful the title of this Site refers to the long ago printed-and-bound Postal Carrier-delivered Paper ‘White Pages of Bell Telephone Company’ the WHITE PAGES seems not to be an appropriate title because the data includes business listings which had been made available in the YELLOW PAGES. When I first found this Site, I truly hesitated to try it- - it struck me as potentially having been created by a White Vigilante group. Even now, it causes me to pause and ponder.... how wonderful it would be for the owners to create a new name, such as “WE THE PEOPLE PAGES” !!!! Thanks for the opportunity to share my feedback. Peace & Hope! ~ ~ Jain Marie Simmons

Upgrade Your App Base’s Data Mining
In this day and age, knowledge is power, and old knowledge of what WAS has no comparison to current knowledge of what IS. Those who need up to date information and turn to your White Pages to obtain that information are getting obsolete pieces from the past. I wouldn’t have bothered to look at all if there’s nothing from the present day to reveal validity of character and identity. People change. Maturity is a guarantor of that fact and it’s not correct for you to claim your app provides a way to lookup people. Your app provides a way to lookup what people WERE back in time! I am not so interested in a history lesson as I am a recently documented event that shows the contemporary character & nature of the human in the search light of your application! Bring it up to speed, please! Faster !Give it a 5-G Booster!🤓

Reliable
If someone hits your car and drives away and you follow them to where they park/live, you just need to plug in address in WP app and you have all the info you need. Same with spousal and child support cases to find the irresponsible parent. And those neighbors around you that act like they own the block- just plug in the address or name and all pertinent information magically appear. The “newest” info is sometimes prior info but at least it gives you a lead and oftentimes paper trail bringing you closer to what you are looking for. Works out of state as well. Better than FB, lol

Review
What I would like with ”White Pages” (or Yellow Pages) is that when I type in a number it gives me all the information necessary such as who owns that number, their address including city and state, If it’s a private landline or a business along with the name of the business etc. etc. etc.. All I really get is whether or not the number actually exists. If the number does exist it gives very little information. However, If it does not exist it says something like “sorry no matching number found.” I actually like that! Telling me that no number is found kind of, sorta tells me that it’s a scam. After all, that’s really all I need to know! Any other info just extra gravy and potatoes.

Similar problems with spinning progress sprocket..
I’ve use the service and paid for the premium portion for a number of years. Overall the service itself works well. But as other people have mentioned here, I also, in the iOS version of the application have had the perpetual spinning wheel with no results. I have deleted and reinstalled the app logged out log back in many times.
I did write to their support group recently, they intimated that they knew there was an issue in the app, & the best suggestion provided was to use the website. But that of course is tricky to do on the phone which is why you use the app.
For the time being I took myself off of the premium side of the service until this gets resolved. But the service does legitimately work very well, so I would love to see this issue with the iOS app finally resolved. I have been experiencing it nonstop for over two years now. It’s a long time for a big to remain in an app that’s being updated, &So many people experiencing the same problem. I will say five stars on the website version, but not for the app in iOS. That needs help yesterday. RM

Owner
I wish things were a little bit more informative on white pages! Second of all I wish there was a cross reference! When seeing this I wish that if you spelled your name wrong it could somehow pick up and find the correct person sometimes it’s just one letter off and it won’t find what you need! Also if I look for too many addresses in one day it boots me off very frustrating! I run a business I also pay for a subscription on here and feel I don’t get my full usage! I also get frustrated because everybody’s in the Premier search which means if I’m out of searches I can’t find the person because it’s locked very expensive for three searches

Best app for identifying numbers
I am in law enforcement and I use this app daily! I lay the 4.99 for the premium and it is so worth it. The only issue I have with it is that it will say “ owner has 4 addresses” but only gives you one. No app is perfect so this app sometimes will give outdated info, but I would say it is 85% accurate. And of course pre paid phones won’t show a name most of the time. Overall, I am happy with it and will continue to use it. I’ve tried others and this is hands down the best one for the money.

Not As Good As the Old White Pages
There is a certain advantage
in being able to search for the owner of a number that called your phone. Unfortunately the resulting information is often incorrect, such as yesterday, when a search on a number of a missed call claimed to be a 95 year old man but in fact was a research study I’d contacted.
If you look for a friend’s number, you are not likely to find the most current listing. I searched myself and the most recent number they had was several years and phones ago. And that was the PAID version! I don’t understand why it’s so difficult for this organization to have correct information. It was once the main authority on all phone numbers and was always accurate and FREE.. I’m not even taking cellular phones into account- I mean they can’t even list current landlines which should be easy for them.
If you buy a subscription you might get information on the person you’re searching, but it will be the last ten phones they had as of five years ago. I canceled my subscription when I couldn’t find a single current number or address for anyone I looked up.
I only gave 3 stars because it did help me find out that my ex was not staying at his parents house- he was actually moved in with a girl half his age. But I couldn’t get the landline (probably a good thing in this case but not the point lol).
