The Worst Rooming App Ever

This app is complete garbage. Finding a roommate here is an absolute chore, and the numerous bugs and glitches on this site are infuriating.

When you pair with someone, it’s easy to forget that you also have to fill out an agreement (which cannot be filled out until both parties do so simultaneously). This is extremely annoying and inconvenient for students, and only creates a bigger problem for us.

Can’t upload any pictures!

Seriously frustrating me, my school just opened their MCR, and rooming deadlines are fast approaching. However, I CANNOT upload any pictures of myself despite selecting them multiple times. I clicked photos to add to my profile, and nothing happens. Need this bug fixed or help working around it. Please, and thank you.

Crash

Always a server error

Doesn’t even work

Attending Colorado Mesa and the only way to request a roommate is through this terrible app
Will not let me input my housing information nor will it let me search anything

Hot Garbage

My College Roomie would have potential if the developers actually listened to feedback and worked on the application. It has been a year since any development despite the immense amount of backlash, and there are several things wrong with the platform. First of all, and most importantly, it is NOT user friendly in the slightest. There are buttons on the UI that are greyed out despite being clickable, every alert needs to be manually marked as read unless clicked, and the app does not refresh properly. Recently, there has been a bug related to roommate eligibility, where some people were marked not eligible one moment back to being eligible again. There is also a consistent, reoccurring problem relating to input name and gender resetting what appears to be about every 24 hours. This has been happening to every student that has changed these input fields, and has been mentioned by multiple other reviews. Overall, the development, customer support and feedback teams have shown that the company lacks care for their consumers.

I hate this

I don’t understand why all these colleges use an app so terrible like this one. It never loads and takes atleast an hour for me to do one thing. It constantly says error or something went wrong. How am i suppose to chat and find a roommate if the app won’t even let me log on.

The WORST Most Inconvenient App Ever

I WISH colleges would stop using this app for roomate selection its terrible its buggy I’ve only been able to successfully log in once and currently cannot get back in. This app starts off the college experience on the wrong foot 0/10. I think colleges who use this app truly do not care about their students because this is not just my experience with the app, it is the experience of the majority. Which is exactly why this app has a one star rating paired with an extensive amount of comment’s saying how terrible this app truly is.

Stop changing my name/gender

I’m tired of going back to this app to see my legal name and sex presented on my profile. This is something I am NOT comfortable with as I am trans and I find it very sad that this app does that. I’m not sure if this is someone manually doing this or if it’s just the program itself, but it’s quite annoying and I don’t see why its even an option to change those things if they’re just going to set them back to how they were before.

Transphobic

I’ve had to change my gender listed on my profile 5 times now. Someone is manually changing it back to male and it happening to everyone who has “trans” or “transgender” listed on their profile. My gender is female legally and on all school records so theres no reason why this should be happening

Useless/Disgraceful

This app and company is completely useless. Constantly crashes, does absolutely nothing of what it is supposed to. Colleges and Universities need to find an alternative resource for roommate matching.
