Without changing this design philosophy, we&rsquo;ve polished up the look to make sure that the experience across devices (PC, tablet, smartphone) is consistent. Spokeo subscribers that are logged into their account can also access search history, bookmarks and usage information across devices.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 15px; font-family: Arial;
