Pretty good app

This app is usually one of the most up to date when it comes to new listings. Think it’s pretty good. However, I would highly recommend a dedicated field for Master on the Main. Just like there are fields for number of bedrooms, # of full bathrooms, or half bathrooms there can be a field for Master on Main. It can just say Master on Main: yes/no. That would cut down on time for people who are looking for it or not. There are people who don’t want buy a house with the master on the main fl and there are some who won’t buy a house unless it has that feature. This would also help with filtering because houses can be included or excluded based on the yes/no.

Probably great for studios, infuriating for bigger

This app should be great. I appreciate that one of the filters is how close it is to public transportation stops, something I haven’t seen on other similar apps I’ve tried. However, when using filters, particularly price and bedroom number, it’s immensely flawed. Instead of searching out places that offer the selected number of rooms within your budget, it finds places that offer units that meet either criteria. So if you’re looking for a 1 or 2 bedroom apartment, it pulls up places with studios in your budget even though units in the size you’re actually needing are way over budget. Trying to sort through them all to find one that actually works for you is such a headache. All that said, if they correct this I think it will be one of the more helpful apps of its kind. (Also their “leave feedback” button is giving an error, so this is currently the only way to make suggestions like this).

App is severely glitchy!

Previously this app worked very well however in the past week or two it has been extremely glitchy. It will send me recommendations that are completely outside of my search parameters and also it will send me a push notification for a new property listing only to go to the app and into my alerts and have it tell me to ‘set up’ new alerts as if none are already there. If I hit refresh the previously saved searches list will reappear. Lastly, I tried to report the issues via the ‘report a problem’ option and it redirects me to an apple site where it then tells me that ‘I do not have the product’ in order to do a support request… very frustrating!

No one replies

I have been on this app for months trying to find a rental property. While the app itself is easy to navigate and use, I can honestly say that I have not heard back from one property management company or landlord at all! It’s a scam that these rentals are requiring application and payment up from to apply to simply view or tour a rental, but to not follow up with you or notify that your application has not been selected for whatever reason is completely unprofessional. There should be a way Trulia can track these scam listings because I refuse to believe I am the only person that has paid to apply for several properties without even a single email or call back. I have since stopped applying now that I’ve caught on, but it’s a shame to be taken advantage of when I am in desperate need and in search for a place to call home.

It would be better if you could delete/change alerts

This app is fine except for one thing. If you are looking for homes in a specific area for a while and then one day you change your mind and would rather look elsewhere, you can’t change your alert settings to exclude the area you don’t want. I keep getting notifications for homes in an area I’m no longer interested in moving to and I 1) can’t delete the alerts, and 2) can’t change the alert criteria to exclude that area. I don’t get any alerts for homes in areas I’m ACTUALLY interested in, which is very annoying. And my alert notifications won’t go away unless I mark them as “read.”
I hope this feature is changed with a future update.

Recherche place au soleil

Très bon outil de recherche pour trouver sa place au soleil 🌞

They changed it.

I have several apps for searching for houses that I refer to. Trulia was not my favorite for this reason - you have to actually click on a house to see the pics instead of being able to quickly scan across the pics from the main page. This seems like a little thing, but when you're looking at so many houses, and looking at many of the same houses again and again, these things make a difference. That having been said, Trulia had something that none of the others had - maps of the crime in the area of the house. This was invaluable, and I would get all my addresses and plug them in here to see those crime maps. And now it seems that they've taken that off. On my mom's phone and mine, we can't find it there anymore. That's a shame. Not much reason for me to keep using this now.

Canadians can’t use

This app can’t be used by people who live in Canada. That makes for a lot of disappointed potential customers, like me.

App is smooth but lacks one thing

Would be great to search rentals by availability.
