App/Listings don’t follow filters
I used to really enjoy using Trulia. The interface was cleaner and more user friendly than some of the other apps (layout, ability to swipe through pictures). However, I’m assuming to some changes, searching for properties that fit my specifications has become annoying and cumbersome: 1) Lot size is very important to me but I can’t sort my search results by lot size. 2) I’m not interested in condos, apartments, lots/land, or auctions but those properties frequently show up in my results, no matter what filters I apply to my search. This wouldn’t have been a problem in the past, however 3) there is no longer an option to hide properties that I don’t care for. This was always a great option to have because I know that there are some properties that I won’t change my mind on, however I have to see them and scroll past a ton of them without the option to hide.
I used to love what Trulia does, now I just get so frustrated with the fact that it’s not allowing a personalized search that I’m going to have to delete it.

Almost perfect
I really like Trulia and it is my go to real estate app but 2 things keep me from giving it 5 stars. First, there is no filter for HOA. I want to search for homes in neighborhoods with NO HOA. The second deficiency is with Trulia’s “Recommended for you” homes. They don’t even come close to my saved search. The homes are often much smaller or on lots that are much smaller than my minimum requirements. Wastes my time looking at them. Things I like: the filters (with exception noted above), the large photos (much larger than most other real estate apps), ability to save homes and search criteria and you can search for homes anywhere in the U.S.

OK, but some annoying glitches
I get email alerts of properties that may interest me, and downloaded this app thinking it would be easier to view them on my iPhone than opening in my browser. It’s not really. The email links now open only in the app, no choice. When I go through an email I may click on several properties so I can then delete the email. The properties stack up in the app, and there appears to be no choice but to see them in that order. To see the next property I must close the one I’m looking at, and can’t go back unless I favorite it. I don’t want all those favorites, just an ability to move between three or four properties. There also seems to be no way to get a link to send without starting a false text and then copying the link. Even starting a false email does not give a copyable link. Yes, I can send a direct email to someone through the app, but that is usually not what I want to do. I want a link I can paste into an email or text I am writing outside the app. If there are solutions to these issues they are ones I have not been able to find in way too much time spent looking, which reflects on the usability of the app. These issues are annoying enough that I am going back to using my browser, and since there’s no choice where things open that means deleting the app entirely.

Trulia the truth
The option of circling the area you want covered to narrow your search is one of the best options granted on the trulia app. That gives you exactly how far where your search is from where you currently are. The mortgage and tax history is laid out for you and most of the properties has a good amount of pictures to help narrow your search. After you circle your scrub area you can choose from map by clicking the green price tag on the map or what I like to do is switch to the map view and scroll through the listings that way. All in all for house hunting and I’m sure for apartment hunting just the same Trulia helps you get the job done. Now idk if Trulia excludes certain listings or provides some that other apps don’t have, that might be based on bank and realtor agreements with the app itself but like I said this app to me is a wave. Easy and convenient. Helpful app so go and cop that you heard! Happy hunting.

Dream
Like to think i may find my dream house in Florida
Pretty good but could use some tweaks
I like the app but when it comes to renting the person posting the rental should HAVE to provide certain information and pictures. Like how much is a deposit, do they need my credit score(cause some places do require it), are pets allowed(this should have to be answered to let people like pets know if the rental will work for them or not), what utilities are included(and don’t let them put wood floor as a utility or appliances that’s a perk not a utility), must have one pic of each room. This will help save both parties time, if I don’t like what I see on the profile why bother seeing it in person.

Stop hijacking my search with begging
I’m in the middle of a search. I’m looking at a house. Suddenly! As if on cue! The app whisks me out of my view screen and asks, “do you like Trulia?” Uh, no, no I don’t! And if you click YES it sends you to the iTunes Store to leave a review. If you click NO it shunts you into a feedback form to force communication with their developers.
If you take me out of my flow to demand feedback, I will give it to you. And you won’t like it. I don’t like the Trulia app. I hate it for its inappropriately-timed begging for feedback. I dislike the fact that you can’t clear or escape the Recommended properties. I think the crime view is fairly inaccurate based on downplaying crime wherever you’re searching, but I could be wrong about this aspect.
Aren’t you glad you pushed me to leave feedback, Trulia?

Best USA Real estate app I’ve seen
Trulia is the best app I’ve seen covering the USA market.
It has room for improvement but is far better than others and the USA is such a large market that it can’t be easy to do the job they’re doing.
One minute I’m searching Orlando for holiday homes the next minute Hawaii.
Good job thanks

Wonderful App
I use this app on the daily to look at houses and have used this app to move into a home before. I like that it asks residents their opinions on the area they live in as well as information on parking, how festive the neighborhood is, etc., and that it shows the crime rate in the area of a particular house. It answers most of the questions you have for a realtor before your actual appointment with them! Well thought out and easy to navigate!
The only problem I have with this app is with the houses I have saved that are no longer available or off market. I can’t remove them from my saved list. I have tried over and over but I can’t get the houses to fall off of my saved list which is irritating because then my saved houses that are currently available get buried under houses that haven’t been available for months.
Other than that, I love the app!
