Yep
Great app
Garbage
Keeps saying WiFi not connected when I am indeed connected
New user
I just started using this app. I am a Adult Companion. So verification is an important part of safety. This has been great so far
Not accurate
First off it I am not even coming up in the search. I have checked my maiden name and married name…..nothing!!
Fun and Informative
I enjoy and recommend this platform if you’re an armchair detective, or just looking for your neighbor’s arsenal of weapons you’re sure they have. This is the spot!
Whack
They literally don’t tell you anything
Decent
I looked was doing a reverse phone search and the internet came up with nothing. This app had the info, it was limited but still more than google
Bad data
Used to be a good reliable platform for data. Helped me identify who stole my identity, but data integrity has gone way down.
My trusted source for info
I’ve used instant checkmate couple years now. Looking up a phone number and learning personal details about. Some making harassment calls. They don’t like it when they get a call back and use their name or birthdate even address the calls drop immediately and many other reasons I’ve keep my subscription active for over two years
Don’t get it
Seriously listen to the reviews I see a lot of reviews saying it didn’t even work after they payed but I couldn’t even pay I’m a 14 year old girl trying to figure out her dads backstory because no one will tell me but I don’t have the money to pay for it nor would I pay for it if I could. So seriously it’s not worth it and it should be free for people who genuinely need to use the services
Helpful info but....
Call me cheap but I think the pro subscription is a bit pricey... the info you get is much faster than doing the research yourself and that only costs you , your time of doing the research. As a mother of 3 girls and had been single I research everyone we come in contact with. I want to know as much as I can about a person. But the other side is it’s fast convenient and seems the info is very very current and up to date.
basic
its not worth the money
Optional
Works ok
SCAM
I don’t recommend the subscription, the information is not accurate, I did a research on my own name and gives my wrong age. Also says it’s scanning for social media Profiles and it doesn’t, if you google the person it will Show a facebook account and on their report it even a public profile on facebook it was showing! Don’t bother! Waste of money and time
Good stuff
I use it all the time and no, nothing is perfect but it’s pretty darn accurate and helps me an awful lot of the time. I’ve tried other services, but this one has done the best job so far and it’s easy to use. And I’m still using the free version.
Ehh (privacy problems)
I feel like this app is pretty good but it can give out false information or no info on certain people. One thing that I do find weird about it is that it’s accessible for ALL people and gives your FULL address (most of the time) and your number, and when you were first and last seen. This would be good if your looking for information on people but the fact that anyone (including sex offenders and robbers) can see were you live and in what state, town, street and address can be a bit concerning because of the fact that they don’t get your permission on what they put on there site about you. Overall it’s pretty good but there are some major concerns involving privacy.
Great company
Amazing service, easy to use and safe!
False advertising/ scam
I paid for the subscription, none of the features work. If i were to click unlock report now it will stay loading for an hour and wont open, pretty much a money grab, tried to ask for a refund they did not refund my money , i usually do not leave reviews but an app like this i had to and especially if there taking people hard earned money left and right like this , this had to be brought to light and resolved. Wish i could give it 0 stars. Horrible
The App
The app of this background report group was easy and free flowing, but above all, accurate. There was one instance however, where I couldn’t determine the age of the person and there appeared a person with no age. It turned out to be the person, but you guys can do a little more diligence to determine the age, so the identity of the individual in question is that more definitive, otherwise it was great.
At first I was not impressed.
But if you remember your old search methods, using maiden names, nick names and different descriptions of places it unveils a lot more than before. Be creative
Won’t allow one time check
Have to pay every month forever
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?
Great App
Very easy to use and informative
Worthless information
The newest reports are from 2016 and older! The pins and addresses do not match. I lived here for 33 years, and they are all wrong. Outdated and inaccurate information. Not worth $35.00 a month!
Great App
The app actually works great and very user friendly.
Unlimited Reports ……of errors
Be warned if you decide to use your subscription outside of the app in a web browser i.e. safari or chrome, with cross site tracking prevent turned on, the site will return an error message and then repeatedly attempt to open the previously sent request over & over & over eventually leading to the account being permanently locked. I paid $30 and change for a month subscription that only lasted 4 days because of this dumb glitch. How can this app even be in the App Store if the parent site isn’t aware of such things & no, I’m not lowering my security settings for any of you who are already pilfering and selling data to the tune of billions of dollars. This is crap and so is your app.
Looking up by number
Quick way to check a number before you call it!
Was fine but now it won’t even show my search
This update is ridiculous! Now I can’t even load the reports much less to view them.
This app is great but a bit inaccurate
This app is great but it is a bit inaccurate. How often do you update the information that’s on here?
App needs updated!!!
Glitchy on new iPhones like the 11. App won’t even open half the time and I’m paying for the premium!
