App Won’t Open on iOS for XR

I couldn’t post a listing online so tried to use the app. I set up the entire account and created a listing using the app, but when I try to post, the app dies. Just disappears! My phone is iPhone XR with the latest software updates, so a bit puzzled about crashing issues with the app. And how is there no method to post thru a browser on the computer?

Please have the option to exclude Tech Dorm listings

Hi PadMapper peeps. Great app, only frustration is that not everyone works in Tech, nor even if they do, wants to live in one of those ‘Tech Dorm’ living spaces. I think you know which ones I’m talking about when a buldings puts in either bunk beds and or single beds. Please put in the filter option, like you have for ‘Exclude AirBnB’....exclude Tech Dorms.

I will forever be so appreciated. I think one of the biggest things that all apps miss is the putting yourself in the shoes of the app user (empathy) and how easy it is to use with all of the features to organize, etc.

Otherwise- thank you for an amazing app and experience. 💜

Hot Garbage

Total garbage for people trying to do a posting. Unbelievable how poorly info is communicated on the app. The fact that you have to download their app just to post is just dumb, why not have options, like an option to use your computer to post like all the other sane posting sites do. Also, why not state that the user has to contact the company to actually post something, which isn’t very clear when you set up a posting. I waited for a couple days and realized my posted wasn’t showing up because I hadn’t contacted the company. Should just be a submit tab and that’s it, so confounding why they set it up like this. The app is not intuitive at all. It might be a great platform for looking but for posting, forget it.

One of the better apartment hunt apps

I actually found my spot in Boston through PadMapper and I’m hoping to make it 2 for 2 with finding a place in NYC. Filters are great and it’s very easy to use

App is good unless you’re trying to post

The app is well polished and put together, however whenever I go to post a listing on the app it either crashes or gives me an infinite loading screen. This seems to be a widespread issue given reviews.

Horrible for posting

I just moved to Texas and am in the process of closing on the first of potentially a couple homes in the Dallas area. In the hopes of managing properties and not wanting to just rely on Craigslist I have tried to get my ad posted MULTIPLE times but it has been pending for about a month. What a joke and waste of time.

Thank you Padmapper

This is taking the stress out of moving for me. I’ve been in Denver for the past month searching for 1br apartments. I finally found out about PadMapper from Reddit. This app has been the most helpful so far out of all of the ones I’ve tried. The daily recommendations are great too.

Can’t change Facebook email

Awesome concept but can’t use it due to the below. I signed in for padmapper using Facebook to login but my Facebook email was outdated. I tried to switch my email on Facebook but your padmapper account keeps the original email you signed up with your Facebook at the time of originally signing up for padmapper. Once you synch your Facebook account it won’t let you unsynch your Facebook account and therefore you are stuck with whatever email you originally signed up with. A very specific problem but now I can’t receive emails from this app because they force you to synch your Facebook and resetting it does nothing.

You can check out any time you like...

but you can never leave.

Can’t delete my account or change my email. I’ve never had anyone respond to my messages on this app. Total waste of time. So basically they get your email and can say you’re another user for their numbers until the end of time.

Good but annoying

Sends push notifications saying new units are available. When you click on it it says no new updates. Does this multiple times within an hour. It’s super annoying. I ended up disabling notifications entirely.
