White pages is quite good when you subscribe to the app. Gives very detailed information about related persons ( meaning folks sharing an address that receive USPS mail like bills, etc as well as a nuclear family) The purchase of background information for additional money is welcome if you want to get court filings. Of course, this can be a bit expensive at over $40 a search, as other background searches are cheaper for businesses. Nevertheless, Whitepages should pick up multi-state court information. I advise anyone who is involved in business relationships or marital or equivalent relationships to consider it.
$40 today is cheaper than tens of thousands of dollars and a sullied reputation tomorrow.

Beware: the credits expire after 30 days.
If you buy three credits in an effort to save money, you should beware that credits expire after an arbitrary period of 30 days. I feel as if I have to inform potential buyers because White Pages does such a poor job of doing so, going so far as to hide this information in the fine print rather than at the point of purchase.
Can anyone help me out here? I suspect that White Pages cancels the credits as a mechanism for increasing profit, but I’m open to the idea that I’m wrong. I called the company hoping to receive an answer as to why the credits expire after 30 days, but neither the customer service agent nor her supervisor could articulate a good reason. Does canceling the credits somehow enhance the customer experience? If so, how? Does it somehow better enable White Pages to provide accurate data? If so, how? And why 30 days? Why not 25 days? Why not 90? Why not a year?
What specific benefit to the customer does this policy serve? I’m open to learning about how WP is working to enhance my experience, so someone please enlighten me.

Great app. Very useful.
I use and rely on this app a lot for persons and businesses. and have found its content quite reliable. The reverse lookup capability is extremely valuable. The redesign of the app featured in the most recent two versions are a welcome improvement, making it easier to use and producing results faster. .
The addition of map location is also useful.
3/19 my review of a couple years ago still applies. White Pages totally replaced my Verizon Phone Book. I like that they include the names of all persons and the ages of those persons living in a residence. That has helped me several times to verify that the person White Pages found is really the person I am trying to locate after losing track of them years ago. .

Find that number
This wonderful app really helps me find out if something is spam or not without answering the phone. You simply go to the eye beside your number that called you, the number will come up, your copy it. It’ll be on your clipboard. So then you just go to the app and it’ll say do you want me to look up the number on the clipboard. And then will tell you if it’s spam number of the fake government calls or if other people have received calls from That number they’ll give comments. It has a lot more useless to that you’ll find out. All in all I love it.

🌺🌸🌺🌸 Posies to the People 🌺🌸🌺🌸
I took a star away because it really isn’t doing a great job identifying nefarious callers. On the rare occasion I use it for this purpose, the app seems to have one level: it ALWAYS tells me the risk is low. But I know better ...
So I lookup the number using an accurate online service and THEN I call the number just so I can hear it say, ‘the number you have reached is not in service’. So much for ID’ing those miscreants.
As for the app asking for my location and contacts, allow me to enlighten you.
First, I’ve learned a bit about collecting data, I became interested in the late 1970’s and began formal studies in the field in 1982.
The Facts:
• IF someone wants your location, they can get it.
• IF someone wants your contacts, they can get them.
• IF someone wants your Social Security number, they can get it.
• IF someone wants all your Banking Information, they can get it.
• IF someone wants you bugged with video surveillance, they could easily do it and you’d never know.
The Most Important Fact:
• 99.9 % of people aren’t wealthy powerful or motivated enough to be considered a threat to our nation, so they’ll never warrant this kind of attention.

Sad for your recent changes
I have used White Pages for a number of years and was very pleased with it until recent changes have rendered it unusable for me. My primary use of it, was previously to look up addresses to correspond with people who I came to know in my duties as a pastor and counselor. What I would like is an an app that I would pay a nominal fee for (say $10-$25 annually) for the privilege of looking up somewhere around 100 addresses per year. I cannot see that you offer such an option. I am sad that I am currently looking for a replacement app for your app that was once wonderful and much appreciated.

Pushed me away
Nov21,’18: I’ve been using this app for a few years and have been very satisfied. However, now the app will not give me info unless I update to a monthly paid subscription.
Oct14,’18: A close friend just came home from hospital. I went to visit...I was on his street but couldn’t remember which house. Tho I work with him weekly, I hadn’t been to his house for a couple of years. Easy, just look up the address on White Pages.
Now, a month later, we’re sending him a “get well” card. I was looking up the address again. The app told me that I needed the paid subscription. I went back through history where I had gotten his address just a month earlier. The app would do nothing without the paid service.
Guess I’ll be deleting this app now. After years of use, since the update, it is now worthless.

Disappointed!
I downloaded this app almost three months ago. I wanted to gain access to everything this app had to offer so I ended up paying $4.99 for it. There was an unexpected charge of the same price the next month but I didn’t mind because the app was useful.
Recently I have been having trouble with this app. I would get emails saying information had been updated on a few contacts I’m following but when I open my app to see what’s changed it says I haven’t unlocked my contacts yet. (?) So I chose to automatically unlock the contacts when I thought that’s what I did when in an option when I chose to actually pay for this app.
When I looked up myself (for example) the information is very outdated. It is this way for other things I looked up, as well.
Also, when I search for a contact that I supposedly unlocked nothing will happen. I’ll type in the name, a few of the results will pop up, I click on it and it begins to load. The app will just keep showing me its “loading” symbol and nothing will happen.
Hopefully I can get answers as to why this app has begun to glitch after payment. It’s really frustrating because I have paid and are eager to see what is new with my contacts but can’t because the app just loads all day.

One step forward, two back.
The previous version listed exact age so you were more sure you were getting the correct person. Now you are maybe within 10 years. Nice try, no cigar!
I am seeing some encouragement that I may see the actual age of the person that I am looking for. But I need to use this version a little more
To get that cozy feeling.
Thanks!
It has improved, but it is not as good as the one of the earlier versions where it showed all the ages of the people with their exact ages. Now you have to get the exact person, re-enter his or her name with the correct city and then see the age. The latest version usually doesn’t give spouse’s name or other family members.

Great App
I’ve only used the “Free” options, never really needed anything more. Have been using this app for years without any issues. Basically use it as help in finding addresses when adding someone new to my mailing list. Especially around Christmas or other Holidays for cards or gifts. The info has always been accurate in my case. Also like how it gives the same info you’d find in a phone book and nothing more.(Unless you want and pay for more info I assume) Bottomline, you get a way of finding some basic info in this app faster than using an actual phonebook.
