Easy to use

It’s easy to figure out. Great on notifications on updates. Easy to make changes.

Very practical home search

Practical app to use for faraway to select a rental or purchase house. Excellent navigation. Good quality of pictures and filters. Neighbour review is a success.

Want to love but GLITCHES

I’m giving up on this app because the glitches make it almost unusable and I came here to see if other people have been having the same issue thinking maybe there will be an update that will fix this soon but I see reviews from 4 years ago about the same thing so clearly it’s not something the will fix. Recommendations are not accurate to the saved searches and now I’m bombarded with 20+ notifications a day for places not even close to my location or budget or what I’m looking for. Also when you go into saved searches and try to delete them they never actually delete. Filters never seem to work accurately and the fact that I can’t edit and delete the searches and recommendations makes it unusable and if people have been complaining about it for over 4 years it’s time to pick a different platform.

Bogs down device taking user data and uses up your battery

I’ve used this app for 1+ years and don’t recommend the app because of what it’s doing in the background. Within the last 4-6 months, I’ve noticed reduced performance using my device such as Safari pages taking a long time to load and my battery life quickly eaten away. Battery went from 1-2 days between charging to less than 2 hours if using say to read a book which was less than before. This app owns that it takes your personal info and pretty much anything it can gain from you. The circular icon noting data transfer while in Safari rarely stops even when I’m just reading a long article or using a recipe. When I check battery usage, Trulia is like 86% of use!! Sorry but “free” app is taking too much so I’ve deleted. I’ll go back to using RE sites through web browsers which are better at limiting data grab.

What is missing in Trulia

Good application with the wealth unique and useful information, for example - demographic data. Unfortunately the use of Trulia requires some data from other search engines: walking score, for example.
None of the known to me application allows to eliminate from the search something like : carpet floors, first floor of the apartment building, the absence (not the amount) of the reserve account, number of the residents/families in the community, etc .
All of this could be additionally supplied (in the extra “broker’s” field) by the knowledgeable listings broker . It will adds listing broker value and make the potential customer contact the source.

Stupid app 👎🏽

First of all they can’t even register you with just your email they’re so parasite that you must use third party like FB, google or Apple and even that doesn’t work properly. Gonna delete this trash right now!!

No Landscape Mode?

So I guess there is no landscape mode to view the photographs like the other real estate apps? Doesn’t seem to make much sense considering that the photos of the house are the most important part of the listing. The pictures are good quality and zoomable but it would be much more convenient to be able to just flip through them at the larger size.

Also you can’t really deselect an area that you’ve already searched so if you search a lot of areas you’ll get constant listing emails from all of the areas which can convolute things with extraneous information that needs to be sorted through. Other than that good app.

Crime rate map

Hi! I love trulia. That’s how I’ve found multiple places to live/rent through college. The one thing I’m a little upset about is that the crime rate map isn’t there anymore. I lived by that thing. I am a paranoid lady and I used that to help determine what I felt was safe enough for me. Obviously it wasn’t the Bible or anything but it was a HUGE help. Now my boyfriends sister is looking for a place to live and it’s a very patchy city. As soon as I heard she was moving I ran to trulia to see the safest areas…and it was gone :’( pls bring it back !:) it was so so helpful especially because my sister is now in college and it can be a helpful tool to her as well. And I will be looking for a house soon so it would be great to have it then!

Was Good

I was enjoying this and found it quite useful for our house hunting. However, about a week ago I started getting notifications for NYC apartment rentals. I don’t live in NY, I have never searched in NY, and I most definitely am not interested in renting.
On top of this, suggestions used to be spot on; now they suggest houses which are in no way in my search parameters - not even close. $500,000 homes are not in my family’s budget. Lastly, the app tells me I have 8-10 new notifications and it turns out there is only one. Maybe this is just a bug, but it’s a dumb one.
Fix these things and get 5 stars. But the app has been more annoying lately than helpful.
