Disappointing, but it has potential
The idea behind this app is good. All in all, its not bad for .99 cents, but its not that great either. Clearly needs improvements. But a people search application that could actually provide you with accurate and relevant information from sources such as the web, social networking sites, phone numbers, addresses, photos and news -all in one user-friendly app...thats the 5 app (i think) this could be. Unfortunately, its not even close...not yet anyway.
The Pros: user-friendly, fun concept, excellent idea, and I DID find A little info, although NOT a lot, and only under the web search.
Cons: this app would be better if it had an option for the searches to include more specific information, for instance location- Im sure you would get more accurate results that way!! (for example: if I live in WA, most of my contacts are WA numbers. They are not going to be from AK, FL or anywhere else in the US. But those are the ONLY results that it comes up with...IF that is, it even finds anything at all!!)
Almost always the search results are not who you were searching for, or no results and/or no information can be found.
Would be MUCH better if the searches utilized the many free indepth, diverse, & reliable sources the web has to offer. Integrating popular website people searches to their database, like Google, myspace, facebook, white pages, and other free people search engines, would be a HUGE improvement. Bottom line- Im hanging on to this one because with a little work, could be an extremely useful and informative tool worthy of 5 stars. But if you havent paid for it yet, Id wait until improvements can be made.
