LOST

There’s a long list of rentals, but every time I tap on the list to see one, I get lost when I go back to the list because the box is no longer highlighted. This happens over and over and over again and then some. I’m getting annoyed because I can’t understand why this is happening. Why isn’t there a way to be able to know where you left off? Why can’t there be a sort of bookmark? Or at least keep the item highlighted until I’m finished looking at the rental or after I tap on the next listing. It would be great to have the ability to write a note and see that note outright so it can refresh your memory. Is my review too long? Please look into this as I am finding it very difficult to keep track. I don’t have all day to look for apartments and I would be very grateful for some help. Thank you all very much, I know you all work very hard and life isn’t easy.

Great Rental Website and App

I have a lot of rental apps that I browse through on a daily basis looking for the perfect rental home or apartment for my family. So far, Trulia has been the most precise in terms of listing the most options in the city I selected.

In addition, the website and app are very user friendly and easy to navigate around. All the important details that renters look for (I.e: price, square footage, parking, pets, heating/cooling, etc.) are all listed for your convenience.

I can’t believe you removed crime rates!!!

When moving to an unfamiliar area it was invaluable to see crime rates in different areas. My daughter went to grad school in Chicago, my son needed to find a place quickly in Dallas, my husband and I had two job moves to other cities. In each case, we had a few days to find housing in unfamiliar cities. It was extremely helpful and saved a TON of time when we could figure out where to focus our attention by seeing the crime mapping. I was never looking for a perfect neighborhood but needed to avoid really dangerous neighborhoods. Trulia WAS my go-to app because of this feature. It is a disservice to your users to remove this feature.

Crime map removed

This was the app I used when I moved out of state and knew nothing about the area I was moving to and relied heavily on the crime reports maps (as a single woman moving by herself, this was highly needed and appreciated!) and managed to get a place in a great neighborhood.
Less than a year later, I’m trying to give recommendations to a friend who’s Also moving by herself and noticed the crime maps are gone! What gives?
Also, I can’t even view pictures on listings. When you click, nothing happens. You can only scroll thru pictures on suggested listings that appear at the bottom of a Different listing you’re looking at.
Another thing, all my past saved homes/searches are gone.

Saved Homes

The app as well as the website does not properly keep a collection of saved homes/rentals. I’ve saved quite a few to show to my S/O however when I returned to my saved homes not a single one was there, instead I had to re-search for all the homes one by one. The most frustrating portion is that when I had found the homes again it showed the red heart for the saved homes. Please fix this bug on both your website and application.

Definitely resourceful

The pricing of some of the property isn’t always accurate so it is highly recommend that you would actually call the property management to find out the real time pricing of Housing as we all know the housing market is up and down every day so to keep up with an accurate number requires a lot of resources that I’m sure many don’t have nowadays.I wish there was a pricing feature that gives you the actual live number even if it was a change on a daily basis to give the renter or buyer an idea if the property is wort looking into.

Redownloaded and remembered

I redownloaded this thinking I could get a better perspective on things, only to remember you can’t look for a specific number of bedrooms. It’s Studio+ or 1+ or 2+ or 3+ or 4+ or 5+, I’m sorry, who is looking for 1+ bedrooms?
Im looking for 1 bedroom apartments, this is honestly so mind boggling stupid, I can’t wrap my head around why it’s simply not an option to look specifically for the number of bedrooms I actually need.
Provide the ability to choose 1 bedroom apartment, or 1–3 bedrooms, or Stuido-1 bedroom, etc. The fact you’re probably making money on such a pathetically thought out app, and hardly maintained, is honestly ridiculous.

So helpful

I am a busy mom and have been looking for a place to rent, but I am very particular to certain areas. Trulia alerts me quickly to when a place is available in the areas I would prefer to rent! It saves me time and frustration. It is very user friendly and I definitely would recommend it whether your looking to rent, buy, or list! Happy looking, and good luck in your new place.

Necessary Features For Relocation Plans

Tulia app serves the current requirements of many, pending movers. It frequently updates its listings and offers features helping toward relocation options and decisions including the neighborhoods’ crime records. I do desire specific searches for housing options like for disabled persons and seniors. It is also truthful with users’ reviews.

Love it but could use some work

I think it’s a great app that with a user friendly Interface! My one problem is that when you filter to say 1+ rooms at a certain price, it will still show the studios and prices of that studio. They should work on being able to filter that part out in the search because I get excited for something I’m actually not looking for.
