Intelius Search 4+

I’ve found Intelius to be the best “people finder” app/web site for re-connecting with long-lost friends and acquaintances from high school and college, especially since they’ve added educational background to their search results. It would be even more helpful in that regard if the app or web site allowed users to find people using that information by including a search field for secondary school or college plus a date range.

A few of my Intelius searches have yielded imcorrect results – one showed a former classmate at the high school I attended in Florida as having instead attended high school in Harrisburg, PA, even though she never went there. In another case, they seem to have scrambled the information for a former classmate with that of an entirely different person who has a similar first and middle name and who currently lives in the same county in Florida, and it took me a while to untangle which information actually belonged to my former classmate and which to the other person. But for the most part, their search results are spot on.

I gave this app four stars only because I’d like to be able to search for people by the schools they attended, and because of those rare scrambled search results. But overall, I highly recommend Intelius – their information is comprehensive, they have a generous trial period before making you pay for a subscription, and their subscription fee is reasonable.

I’ve not yet purchased anything but for my first tries I was very satisfied.

I couldn’t find out too much information about the phone number I was looking up so it is probably no one that I need to call back. But then I typed in names of long lost friends (many of whom have ordinary names, and that I have tried looking up before...) and was surprised at the amount of information provided, well beyond what I would have expected and enough identify specific people. Now, if I contact.... or don’t ....who knows/ follow through ect. But atleast I have info if ever want to

When you first search someone (namely yourself as inevitable) it wants you to sign up for the “unlimited all access” pass at $25 a month. I was curious to see what would pop up under my “licenses” so I decided to spend the $25 for the “unlimited all access” pass. I clicked the tab that was in the license box and bought the subscription. Then when you go to the license portion it says to access that you have to spend another $20 per persons report. I don’t think they know what unlimited all access means.

Half the information on myself is inaccurate or old data. It’s an okay source to get some extra information on someone that might help you along the way, but I would avoid the extra pass and in app purchases.
