### 1/5 — Worst app ever

*2024-06-11*

Worst app ever! No info at all and only showing pay more to have more search chances

### 1/5 — I paid for a subscription fee and still ask me to pay more

*2024-01-11*

I subscribed it for 4.99 per month, but today when I open it, it asks me to pay more money to get more search times. So what’s the monthly subscription fee for???

### 1/5 — Like a student project but ask for money

*2023-03-06*

Lame UI and ask for a lot of money after it collects your information.
Useless app

### 5/5 — Great House Hunting App

*2022-12-22*

Keep this app handy when you searching for a new home. You don’t need to do location research anymore. Pretty much everything you want to know about the neighborhood, you can find it here. Highly recommended!

### 5/5 — Includes all useful information

*2022-12-09*

Easy to use and includes all the area information before you buy a home. I understand that the app comes with paid subscription because the source data of the app is not free.

### 1/5 — Worsts app ever used

*2022-11-16*

Super slow to load and crash often. The info shows on the map is mostly useless. And this garbage app even charges 9$/month? How dare it.

**Developer response:** Sorry You Don't Like it. Generally, connecting with stable network can reduce the loading time.  Enjoy your free trial.

### 1/5 — There is no way to cancel membership charge

*2022-11-16*

Just a halfway baked app and the author doesn’t build a page to stop or cancel the membership. How can you charge $9.99/mo for such?

**Developer response:** Sorry you don't like it. If you don't know how to cancel a subscription, please follow apple standard subscription cancellation procedure here: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT202039

### 5/5 — Useful

*2022-11-15*

Very useful but hope it could be free to use - like incorporating some ad services and a paid version without ad

**Developer response:** I'm glad you liked this!
But unfortunately, some of the data that showing in the app is not free to use. I have to paid the data sources to obtain the data. 

I'm trying to come up with a new version that can generate a report around an address with cheaper price. Hopefully it will arrive soon.

### 5/5 — Very easy to use and convenient

*2022-11-10*

I accidentally found this app and it made my search much easier. Like the simple UI and instant search !

**Developer response:** I'm glad you liked it!

### 5/5 — Very Useful App

*2022-11-10*

And the icons are sooo cute 😆
