Frustrating new update feature!
Have been using this app for quite some time! It’s been fantastic in terms of simplicity and functionality!
There is one new function, however, that really frustrates me and seems to have appeared since a recent app update (or in one of the many updates) and that is when you skip over the video of the house that appears in some of the advertisements, regardless of whether you want it to or not, it plays. When you slide back to the video, it stops! But when you proceed to look at the photos again, it starts playing again! In a world where advertising is constantly being shoved down our throats, can we please just have a little bit of control and be the ones to decide whether we watch the little video or not!

Hi, We're really sorry for the trouble, and thank you for bringing this to our attention! Version 5.134 has the fix in it. Please download the latest from the store and you should be good to go. Cheers, Steph
Badges?
Why does the filter on my search keep receiving red badge notifications without any obvious way to remove them?
Great Online Realtor
Great website. Easy to navigate with AMA I g properties listed. Highly recommend
Good but could be a lot better
I use this daily as I’m watching the market carefully, to buy. I can’t search for properties with a pool unless I use the keyword ‘pool’. That brings up ads with ‘room for a pool’. So annoying, and a friend today said they could tick a box for listings with pools. Turns out they’re on the website, so I now will use that instead of the app, still on my smartphone. I also can’t filter out retirement complexes, or serviced apartments. In the area I’m looking, this is a large proportion of irrelevant properties. Finally, I hate to have to set the sort order every time. It is set to ‘most relevant’, which means nothing to me. At least choose either lowest price or newest to market, something at least useful.

Okay but listings could be fixed
Could a filter be added in for pets considered upon application (those who don’t explicitly list pets accepted fall of the search result) and could a filter be added to exclude Deposit Taken - my search result currently is properties matching my filter but all of them show as deposit taken, making the list useless.

Very buggy and crashes a lot.
As above.
Great app
Great app and works well. I like the fact you can clearly see between new properties and ones you’ve already viewed (with grey and red dots). It would be better if you could search by a school catchment though, like you can with Domain.
Very informative and easy to use
Highly recommended
Works well some extra features would help
App functionally works well, however it would be better if you could filter out "retirement" property types. There are a few suburbs around where I am that have a lot of retirement units and they always come up in searches, I wouldn't think anyone would be searching for both at the same time so the ability to separately search for either these types of properties or exclude them would optimise the usage for both types of people looking for a property. Always having to update to property sorting type for every search is also a bit annoying, I'm sure most people will sort by price, or at least allow us to set a default search type so we don't have to constantly update it if changing a suburb would make the app ideal.

LOVE IT! but please adjust
I ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT😍😍😍 BEST HOUSE SEARCHING APPLICATION THAT I HAVE EVER COME ACROSS IN YEARS SO EASY AND SMOOTH LOVE IT! LOVE IT!! LOVE IT!!! I was wondering... before I got the app I used the website but when I got the app I noticed that I didn’t have access to the extra filters the website has, I got the app because I thought it would work better but every time I want to use the extra filters I need to use the website instead. I don’t know if it’s me or something in settings but either way could you please find a way that I would be able to use this extra filters please.
