### 5/5 — Easy app-love the multiple offers option

*2021-04-08, version 4.48*

It’s easy to use and I love that I can text message it with a video.

### 1/5 — Not working

*2019-05-07, version 4.24*

Tried to sign up to use the app entered all information asked for but would not confirm kept asking for my zip code after entering my zip code which I know well !!!! I got a “invalid zip code” message after trying 8-10 times I gave up.

### 1/5 — Not available in Georgia.

*2019-02-27, version 4.22*

Would love to get this app but it isn’t available in Georgia.Any expansion plans?

### 3/5 — Password field freezes app

*2016-11-07, version 3.40*

I have a 12 character password, however it freezes exactly on the 12th character. It is not related to any one particular letter that is typed. I input random letters and it still froze on the 12th character. I uninstall/reinstalled app to no avail. An update to address this would surely help.

### 1/5 — Useless

*2015-12-02, version 3.33*

What a waste of memory space. The app does not even allow you to change the amount of the down payment.

### 3/5 — Realtor

*2013-04-08, version 2.0*

Great app. ! Knowledge is power and in 
5 minutes you can do a HUD1 for a seller or buyer as well as refinance and short sales !

### 1/5 — Nice idea! If it worked!

*2012-08-22, version 1.1*

Please fix this app. I'm sure it has potential to be great? To bad it crashes before I can use it

*2012-08-03, version 1.0*

Another simple net sheet calculator tool that allows for quick calculations on buying, selling and refinancing properties.
