Horrible App
I would leave zero stars if I could. I was trying to rent out a room and my account was closed and deemed “malicious” without even contacting me as to why they would do this.
Contacting the company has proved to be of little help as they just said there were multiple reports against my account but could not provide any more information. This app is a scam and I would not recommend for anyone to use it.

App Does Not Work.
Not sure what's going on but suddenly the app does not show a single "pad" anywhere in the United States. My internet clearly works (since you can read this), and my filters have been expanded from $0-$5000, so something is definitely bound to be caught.
Terrible app, poorly thought out and spammy
When I sent a message to an apartment manager for a place I was interested in, I would get a notification in my email that they had replied. However, their response wasn’t in the email, and nowhere in the app or my PadMapper profile. It said to reply to the email to see what the apartment manager said; however, once I sent an email, I didn’t see any message.
So basically, someone thought a good method would be for people to blindly reply to messages they can’t read.
Also, I’ve had to unsubscribe to emails and alerts in three different places now, my inbox was slammed with notifications I didn’t want and didn’t ask for.
Never using this again.

PadMapper issues
I like the app but my issue was that several times when I went to view apartments, the rent amount was higher than what was listed on PadMapper.
Since I was budgeting for a specific amount, this was extremely irritating and a waste of my time.
The properties would say the app hadn’t updated in a timely fashion. ???
I did however, find an apartment using the app that I’m pleased with and in my budget. All in all, I would recommend this app.

Had people showing up at my house. Don’t post here
I was going to rent a room in my house until for whatever reason this app decided to publicly post my name and address and advertise it on google. You would think they’d realize this is a safety issue. I reported my post after I took it down and reach out through support to have it taken down and it’s still up. So far I’ve had 3 people just show up at my house. One guy went as far as arguing with me on my front porch when told him we weren’t renting the room anymore and demanded he be let in to “at least see it”. Not everyone is just a good person looking for a roommate, and I should never have to deal with something like this because of a stupid app. So please if you do post on this app be careful when you set up your posting and exercise caution when giving this app any of your personal information.

SPAM EMAILS alert
Lord have mercy on you if one suscribes or even register to use this app. Your inbox we’ll be full of junk emails in no time. Hit UNSUSCRIBE and still coming
No poster communication
I’ve used PadMapper when looking for a home in the past, and was a go to place for me. I always liked their interface and convenience.
Now that I wanted to post a place of my own for potential renters I had a lot of difficulty with this app and service. Once I posted the detailed ad, it defaults to being private. The only way to list your posting is to email them, which I did. I received no response from then despite a few follow ups over the next few days.
This means my ad remained private, unable to reach renters and I’m left in limbo.
Lastly, their in app options for email or contacting them default to the IOS Mail
App, leaving you to install it just to get access to their feedback and posting email addresses. If you use another mail app, like gmail, you won’t be able to view the contact info to get in touch with them, not that it matters, as they clearly don’t reply to list more rental spaces.
It’s been handy in the past, but I’m very disappointed when I I had a place to advertise.

Great housing app
My friend just recommended this to me as I was getting tired of scams on Craigslist. Great app, with a lot of amazing places that weren’t on any of the others. My new go-to for apartment searching.
Negative stars. Can’t access my own account.
I downloaded the app because apparently for some reason that’s the only way you can post a listing, which is weird to begin with. Why aren’t you able to post on your desktop as long as you have an account?
I decided to download the app and try it out anyways and drafted up a listing. There was an option to not put your address so I clicked on this for privacy matters. After I saved, the address location still showed in the draft. I tried to go back and see where the option was but could not find it. Then I tried to see if I can just delete and start over. I couldn’t do that either. Already frustrated with this situation somehow I got locked out of my account. I tried resetting the password but it would not and said my account is blocked.
I emailed support and have yet to heard back. But I am getting their marketing emails.

Horrible communication. Inflexible as a poster
I made a post using my personal email. I decided to delete the posting and start again with a specific email address for my property. I was unable to get my post to display correctly. If people tried to view it, it would show as unavailable. I emailed multiple times. I was asked to provide govt issued photo ID and still no luck. Honestly, as someone trying to use this service to post, it’s an incredibly frustrating interface and entirely inflexible if anything falls slightly outside of their parameters. Why can’t I talk to someone? Also, how do you delete your profile not just your listing? Horrible app.
