To protect platform integrity, every review on our platform—verified or not—is screened by our 24/7 automated software. This technology is designed to identify and remove content that breaches our guidelines, including reviews that are not based on a genuine experience. We recognise we may not catch everything, and you can flag anything you think we may have missed. Read more

Hello,

Thank you for your message. I'm very sorry to hear about this issue. We have over 600k contacts listed and email all of them every three months to verify the information we hold. Due to the time it takes for contacts to respond, we cannot guarantee 100% accuracy with a database of this size. However, we are committed to promptly assisting you with any contact details you cannot find.

Best Wishes

Unfortunately

Unfortunately, this app was not what I was looking for, so I decided to end the free trial. I want to make sure there won't be any charges, considering I canceled quickly the same day and didn't receive any email about my cancellation.

A hugely useful tool

A hugely useful tool if you need to contact celebrity. Rarely, the contacts are wrong or outdated but it is a small percentage.

Better than IMDB Pro - Handbook wins hands down

I really enjoyed how thorough the contact options were and efforts to validate the data.

It is the most extensive I have seen and superior to IMDBPro.

Check their reviews - they're cheating everyone!

Signed up for a test, cancelled the same day - just found out I've been charged every month for the past 2 years!
