Save your money
This is another terrible product by InfoUsa.For a small business trying to extract information for mailing lists it's a waste of time and money.It's even worse than SelectPhone, which used to be a terrific software package.You can't extract more than 1000 names at a time, it's hard to use, nothing is co-ordinated for the user.They lie on their promotion and packaging.Nothing works.Don't waste money on ProCD either.I'm trying to find a software program like this that actually works

Product Doesn't Match Editorial Review!
Amazon's Editorial Review indicates that you can update mailing lists with this product "with the click of a button".While the productdoes contain the listings, updating your mailing list will require theclicking of a multitude of buttons, after you print out or write down allof the information.The product has no ability to create or modify a mailmerge list.The Yellow Pages USA Deluxe edition apparently has the abilityto create a mail merge list for use with a word processor, but perINFOUSA's sales staff this can only be done for a single heading/zip codecombination at a time.The Deluxe version is not available at this timethrough Amazon, and is quite a bit more expensive ($150). ...

A hotel in my residential neighborhood?
I'm actually 43 years old, but didn't want to take the time to sign up.Actual rating for this product: NO stars.A research group solicited my involvment with an interview group in Houston, TX, and used this program to produce maps to the interview location, a hotel on the north side of the city (presumably, the same maps were sent to all participants).Although the address was listed correctly, the map showed the hotel in the middle of a residential neighborhood south of Houston, approximately 30 miles away!It's a good thing I did my own research rather than rely on this map.I wonder how many of the other participants missed the interview because of this map? Avoid -- ridiculously inaccurate and out-of-date
This product's About page states that map data is from 1998, but their information was out of date even then. Let's take their map of Seattle, the city I know best. No directions!
I got this software thinking that, like most mapping software, it would allow me to print directions between two points. It does not. The maps are adequate but the number of features and the ease of use are pretty terrible. ... Read more

I have kived at this address for 2 years and not listed.But yet it is the 2001 version.I planned on using it to notify people and businesses of a new ceiling service I now provide but how many notices will I get back because either the people have moved or the businesses have closed within the past couple years. ...

Powerfinder Pro CD 1999
As far as content and ease of use is concerned, this product is very good. HOWEVER: You can only export a total of 5000 records and you are not able to remove duplicates before you export (so you waste tons of records!).When you use up your 5000, you are prompted to call a toll-free number topurchase additional records and the company charges you an arm and a leg...up to 3 times more than you paid for the original software for a smallernumber of records! And you can't just buy a new CD if you've alreadyinstalled the first one on your computer! Looks like they've got you comingand going... ... Read more

Not what you think
It is not very user friendly and you have to pay extra money to get the information you really want to get from purchasing it.It is pretty useless actually save for in a couple areas.I would not purchase it.

Poor misrepresentation of a product!
I was told by InfoUSA staff that this was the replacement for 88 Million Households. When the CD arrived I found that it did not have the capability of searching by address. This was a big disappointment since that was my only way of utilizing this product to reach my goal. Also the constant windows with advertising from InfoUSA are an annoyance. I would not recommend this product to anyone needing to locate mass amounts of information or access to info by address search. It only searches by name or phone number. ... Read more

Wish I read these reviews
This is completely useless software.Gives less features than any free online yellow pages service.I was hoping to enter in SIC codes and export a calling list.(Understandable since it advertises on the box *CREATE LISTS FOR DIRECT MAIL AND TELEMARKETING*)You can only look up a business by its name.I thought, well I'll look up all businesses with the word HONDA in them, but you can only look up by what the business name starts with.USELESS,....

Very disappointing!
This software was very disappointing to me.InfoUSA indicated to me that it was the replacement for thier 88 Million Households disc.That program had the capacity to search by address and this one does not.It is a real misconception and I could not achieve my goals with it.

30 Businesses at a Time!
I would have thought that you could search for "Bagel Stores" and get 250 listings and EXPORT THEM AS A TEXT FILE.Not with this software.You cannot Highlight or Print more the 30 Businesses at a time, YOU CAN'T EXPORT ADDRESSES, YOU CAN'T PRINT TO A FILE.Read more

A good product gone terribly wrong
In my past life, I used the phone disc power finder in my research efforts back in 1997-1998 and found them to be the best business productivity tools on the market.The "superman" of market research products.Upon using the latest versions of the phone disc, I find myself in some "bizarro" world and left utterly speechless.In a span of 2 years, they have destroyed what was once an essential business tool.While, the basic setup is essentially the same, they now limit mass exports to other software programs forcing you to buy more export privilege.I for one am outraged not necessarily at the fact that I have to pay more to export listings, but that infousa can get away with this bs.Anyone know of any alternative vendors..give me a ring..please.

Useless
It willonly let you export 1000 names for printing purposes then they want you to pay annualy for limited information. Do not buy this product. ...

Do not ignore the negative rewiews as I did
Do not buy this it is not what it used to be. dont waste your money!!!!! ... Read more

Powerfinder 2000 - This is an upgrade ?
Previous versions were much faster and user friendly. Since Info USA bought the product the cost has gone up and the performance has gone down. Network prices are outrageous. This was a five star product two years ago. ... Read more
