ReverseLookup

Pros: phone number lookup always gave me the correct name and location for every number i looked up. it also loaded quickly and was easy to read.

Cons: filtering or sorting previous searches isn’t super intuitive at the moment.

Overall: this random number has been calling me twice a week and i finally decided to look it up. it was a pharmacy reminder that i had forgotten that i had signed up for.

Pros: The public info scan provided me with very detailed and organized information. Names, addresses, social profiles, and even related family members were all organized in a very easy-to-read format.

Cons: An explanation of what each part of the report is for would be helpful for new users.

Overall: Scanned a number that appeared on my partner's phone from a job ad, and the report told me it was a legitimate hiring company.

Pros: Reverse lookup gave me search results in like ten seconds flat - full name, carrier data, and associated social media accounts all popped up without me having to search around at all.

Cons: The mobile version of the website could use a slight layout adjustment for smaller mobile screens.

Overall: I've been getting non-stop spam calls lately, so I tried a few of them out in reverse lookup and finally was able to track down who was behind them. I'm pretty relieved, actually, the information was legit.

Pros: The clean layout makes it easy to navigate through reports. Everything is organized well, from contact information to digital footprint, and nothing is hard to understand.

Cons: It would be great if the search bar allowed you to auto-format phone numbers as you type them in.

Overall: Tested out a few numbers from unknown callers, and all the reports were organized well. It’s one of those tools that you didn’t know you needed until you started using it.

Pros: finding out who unknown callers are worked really well for the numbers i tried. showed me names, locations, and even a couple of email addresses associated with each result.

Cons: some of the address information looked a little dated for one of my searches.

Overall: good tool for what it does, although one of the reports had dated information. tried it out on a weird number from a craigslist seller and it gave me enough information to feel safe.

Pros: Public info scan yielded a surprisingly comprehensive report - got the name of the person who called, potential family members, and associated social media pages all in one tidy page.

Cons: The trial pricing explanation could be a little more forthcoming on the landing page.

Overall: Used it to scan a contractor who was bidding on roof work for me. Scanned the number, got the name, cross-referenced it - and to be honest, felt a heck of a lot better about proceeding.

Pros: the number search brought up a name, connected social media pages, and even some old addresses in a matter of seconds. the structured output made it a breeze to scan through everything.

Cons: wish there was a way to highlight or tag search results so you can come back to them later.

Overall: had to look up a number that was texting my mom repeatedly, and it brought up the information quickly with good detail. the format is nice and easy to read.
