  • The app is good but some of the realtors needs to have kindness in their hearts…

    This is a good app for apartment searching, but some of the realtors once they get in touch with you and you will tell them that you have a program and that you are temporarily disabled; they will never reply back, some of them are even rude. Sometimes some people forget that today you can be on top of the economy pyramid, like I was in the past and suddenly they can become sick do to something. In my case I’m sick do to the Damm Moderna vaccine after effects…

  • Great App

    This app helped me when my family and I were facing some difficult times trying to find a place to call home. Luckily due to the help of this app I found something quick and I was able to find a lot of available housing. Not only was I able to visit the place for rent but I was able to meet up with managers and home landlords in person. Would really recommend this app. This is the only app I trust and the only app who has my support 100%

  • This company allows fraud

    It’s bad enough that over 90% of the listings have the incorrect prices on them. I don’t know where they’re generating the info from but any leasing agent can tell you that they don’t work with them. If you’re trying to find a roommate on here good luck finding someone who isn’t a scammer. It’s nice that they have a report button but they don’t seem to act on any of the reports. There’s so many sketchy people on there they don’t even sound legit for one second yet they’re allowed to keep their listings active on this app. There is one listing from years ago that is on there every day still and it is definitely a scam -how do I know because I was there. Just another business that takes no responsibility for the content it advertises. Be wary when dealing with anyone through this app.
    It’s too bad because the app has a nice design and it’s easy to use. But hardly any of the people you contact will contact you back. And again it doesn’t matter because most of the information is either missing or incorrect.

  • I love this app! I wish more people used it. (Small UI issue tho)

    I absolutely love this app. It’s my favorite one to use on looking at rental properties in my area because some of the more unique places show up here. I’m not a big fan of the typical apartment complexes, I like living in a place with a little more character and there’s always fun places listed on this app to consider. I wish more people knew about this app and used it to list their properties.

    UI Issue: on the 11” iPad the panel on the right side of the app is not sized correctly. This panel shows the details of the properties you’ve clicked on and contains the text fields used to contact the property owners so it’s pretty important but currently only about 70% of it is visible. Hopefully something that can be addressed on the next update 👍🏻

  • Would be rated higher but suggestions are just WRONG

    If I run a search, I get appropriate results against the filters I have set. The rest of the time I am sent suggested properties that are completely not what I want. Example, looking in AZ for house under $1400/mo. Results sent to me include OK, UT, TX, KS, MO and house that rent for $5k a month. No no just NO. I have now turned off all notifications which does defeat the purpose of quickly learning of new rentals. Giving this app a bit more time before I remove it from my devices.

  • Always my go to app to search homes

    The app has great set of listings and my last 2 homes I have moved into were searched and found here. Also great and easy way to connect with lister of the home (owner/agent). Good recommendation engine and has good set of filters which specifically helps find homes you wish to live in.
  • Impossible to find a good rental through here

    99% of the time the people renting out don't respond and just take your application money. We had one guy admit to this. When I do get a response they demand I come see the place that day. Mind you I work a full time job and can't just drop what I'm doing to go look at a place I may or may not even be interested in. I have the messages to prove it. I respond saying I'm currently at work but would love to later on that day and then I never get a response back. It's already so hard to find decent places to rent and the people allowed on this app makes it 10X harder.

  • Hot pads

    Very easy App to use. I like that it keeps track of all my searches and messages from the people I sent to them. I have been using this app for a few years now and I’m very pleased about how it makes it possible to get to the new apartments listed on a new rental property’s. I would recommend it to my friends. Thanks Hot pads!

  • Can’t control rental companies

    It is a good app, the only downside has been with rental companies. They don’t update their listings to show what they truly have available. I called about a 2 bedroom apartment that was listed in York NE, only to be told that; “it hasn’t been available for months, and they use that one to get people to call”
    A bit frustrating
