Your app is embarrassing. Constant fails. Updates that don’t take care of any problem I’m experiencing. Horrible interface. Constant need to verify who I am when I’ve been a client for three years. Weak attempts to upscale me to give you more money. I’m seriously looking into new options. ### 2/5 — IT could improve *2025-08-27, version 4.0.5* Have been locked out of my account for several days …almost a week. I spoke with four customer service reps, and they cannot help me. They continue to say they were escalating the situation. It’s frustrating when they want to increase their fees for exclusivity and better offerings, but their service does not seem to improve. ### 4/5 — Glitchy but worth a try *2025-08-19, version 4.0.3* I started using this app about a month and a half ago and it seems to user friendly however one of the things that frustrates me is that I constantly receive notifications that I have a message and when I open the app no new message is there. Please fix this bug so that we can continue to enjoy your user friendly app without concerns. ### 2/5 — New app is horrible *2025-08-14, version 4.0.3* Although the old app was slightly glitchy, this new update to the app is horrible. Always crashes, always glitches, always logs me out all the way to where I have to go through the verification process to log back in. The layout is horrible. The old way was better. Please fix! Getting very annoying. ### 2/5 — Constantly crashes or freezes *2025-07-22, version 4.0.1* I have needed to delete and reload this app multiple times in the last 3 months. Very frustrating! ### 1/5 — Over promise and under deliver *2024-11-28, version 3.5.4* The revenue promised to me was well short of what I actually received every month for all my listing. Literally everything is something you as the homeowner need to do rather than having a terrible guest staying in your listing. If you cancel for ANY reason you will be charged. Water leak, house fell off the have of the earth, furnace out, you will be charged . They do it late ant night so you might not notice. Bottom line, list your own and get all the money rather than let them skim off the top while your bills pretty much go unpaid. ### 1/5 — App not working *2024-10-19, version 3.5.0* I tried several times to get the app to work but it’s not working at all. Why is that? ### 2/5 — Company good, app not so much *2024-09-19, version 3.3.1* Good experiences with the company but the app is very limited. Could be way better. ### 1/5 — Not worth 10% Anymore *2024-08-11* I used to be able to justify the 10% fee they charge on bookings. However, I can no longer do so because I have had to many accumulated bad experiences with evolve. Too many employees that say one thing and do another. In addition to just lazy work and execution. I have to do everything and fight just to be treated fair. So what am I paying for anymore? I'd rather go with flat fee software and keep more of my hard earned money because everything evolve does seems to go wrong. **Developer response:** Hi there - we're disappointed to hear this has been your experience.

Thanks so much! ### 1/5 — Evolve insurance *2024-06-28, version 3.2.1* One of our guests hit our well with their car, evolve said their insurance won’t cover it because it was caused by a vehicle. It’s going to cost us hundreds of dollars to fix it. ### 2/5 — ??? *2024-06-17, version 3.1.3* Can’t tell whether i successfully upgraded or not? How do i know? ### 1/5 — Constant updates / limited control *2024-05-29, version 3.1.3* 5/28/2024 Update: sense writing the review below last week I have had to update the app all three times I’ve logged in. I did receive an acknowledgment response Evolve but it included no explanation of why I have to update continually. They did not address my concerns regarding pricing control. The app forces an update 80% of the time I login. Evolve should allow owners price control. The Evolve algorithm may work in high-density areas, but it’s worthless to me. I know when local/regional events are scheduled that could drive up rental fees. It takes Evolve 3-5 days to respond to requests for price changes, which isn’t practical. ### 2/5 — Constant updates / limited control *2024-05-18* The app forces an update 80% of the time I login.

Nearly every time i use the app i have to login again because it either endlessly spooks or prompts me to log in from scratch. Not by design ### 1/5 — Extra $500???!!! *2026-06-07, version 5.4.0* I have been using EVOLVE for over three years and, unfortunately, my recent experience has been very disappointing. EVOLVE markets itself as a vacation rental management company, but in my experience they function more as an advertising platform, with property owners left to deal with many issues on their own. The problem arose when I set a custom six-night minimum stay requirement for the Fourth of July holiday period several months in advance. Despite those settings, a guest was able to book only four nights. When I contacted EVOLVE, I was informed that the reservation fell partially outside the custom minimum-stay window due to how their system interpreted the dates. Rather than acknowledging what appears to be a flaw in their booking system and working toward a reasonable resolution, I was told that canceling the reservation would cost me $500. As a property owner, it’s frustrating to be held financially responsible for a booking that contradicts the settings I intentionally established months earlier. I expected better support and more accountability from a company that claims to help owners manage their rentals. After more than three years as a customer, this experience has significantly reduced my confidence in the platform. ### 1/5 — Outside custom minimum stay. !?!?! *2026-06-07, version 5.4.0* I have been using EVOLVE for over three years and, unfortunately, my recent experience has been very disappointing.

Now the calendar is difficult to get to. It logs me out constantly. I truly hate this app. ### 1/5 — App won’t stay logged in *2025-09-03, version 4.0.5* App keeps logging me out every time I reopen it. I would love to not have to login every time I want to check my bookings for my property. It’s especially inconvenient when i have to share a login with my spouse and the verification code will only go to one device. Need to enhance the app to have an option to stay logged in … ### 1/5 — Don’t Recommend this Company for Property Management *2025-08-26, version 4.0.5* Evolve promised all money back if they didn’t increase my revenues; they tried to increase it by making my home into a zoo, they advertised it as pet friendly. Pets destroyed my furniture and baseboards with dogs and cats; their insurance didn’t cover anything. At the end they didn’t refund any money; totally rip off Finally they ended up charging my credit card for a reservation that I had to cancel because I decided to rent my home long term, never use them again :( Just to clarify your response, if you look at my claim, they told me that pets biting and damaging my furniture IS NOT cover because it is considered. “**The damage to the couch is categorized as cosmetic damage, and is ineligible for coverage” You only wanted to cover the baseboard damage, so I consider EVOLVE a RIP OFF ### 1/5 — Don’t Recommend this Company for Property Management *2025-08-22* Evolve promised all money back if they didn’t increase my revenues; they tried to increase it by making my home into a zoo, they advertised it as pet friendly.

At the end they didn’t refund any money; totally rip off Finally they ended up charging my credit card for a reservation that I had to cancel because I decided to rent my home long term, never use them again :( ### 1/5 — App update has serious problems *2025-08-21, version 4.0.3* We love Evolve, but the app has some serious issues. Half the time it logs me out, and when it does open, it’s extremely slow. Right now, it won’t open at all, so I can’t see anything, including my current bookings. I’m also unable to block out dates because the calendar no longer displays. The new layout makes it much more time-consuming to view each of my listings and their calendars. I’m really not a fan of the update—the app worked fine before. ### 1/5 — Poor features, little support *2025-06-20, version 3.9.2* The app has no iCal integration, and despite saying it sends push notifications to your phone, it doesn’t. Also the interface is not very user friendly. I do not recommend it for your rental, it’s a total headache. ### 1/5 — Terrible company *2025-06-15, version 3.9.1* This company is shady and has terrible customer service. I booked with them through Vrbo and had to cancel for a personal emergency 8 days in advance. They refused to give me any portion of my money back. They were terribly rude and unprofessional when I spoke with them about it, even after it was difficult to even talk to a human. DO NOT USE Evolve ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Easy to navigate between properties *2026-03-25, version 5.3.3* The app is supper easy to view upcoming bookings and communicate with guest. With multiple properties, the app makes it quick to jump between them to make sure each home is ready. ### 5/5 — Go Evolve *2026-01-08, version 5.3.1* We have used Evolve to manage our property in Colorado. We have had nothing but great success! They are always on top of things, and will contact us with any questions from the guest. We also personally check in to see if there is anything they need, or questions about the area! ### 5/5 — Love this company! *2025-08-24, version 4.0.4* Been using them and app for years, highly recommended! ### 5/5 — Best Property Management *2025-08-07, version 4.0.3* We went through several individuals and agencies before finding Evolve to manage our short term rental property. Our only regret is that we didn’t go with them sooner. Our place has stayed rented and they take exceptionally good care of both vacationers and owners. If you have rental property, they are definitely worth a phone call. Do not look right, or left, but go full speed ahead. They are very professional, provide insurance, and so much more. ### 5/5 — APP and Service *2025-03-23, version 3.7.2* I’ve been pleased with the user friendly design of the app and appreciate that as owners we can contribute where we’d like to see upgrades. Evolve’s service has been spectacular since the beginning. We are on year 2. Thank you Evolve team! ### 5/5 — Everything is great, except… *2025-03-04, version 3.7.2* when tapping the bell icon > “Money is on the way!”, it no longer brings the user to the related booking. ### 5/5 — Evolve team rocks! *2024-09-18, version 3.3.1* Easy to work with. Available for support calls all the time and quick to respond. Thank you evolve! ### 5/5 — Great Service *2024-05-05, version 3.1.1* Evolve Management Company has helped me considerably during our condo renting adventure. They have answered all my questions and continue to guide me along, taking care of many areas of our rental business. I recommend them to many, whom I talk with, that are interested in the rental business. Great job!! ### 5/5 — Easy to Use *2024-05-04, version 3.1.1* Very happy with all aspects of Evolve. ### 5/5 — Simple and easy *2024-03-28, version 2.6.0* As an owner I use Evolve to manage my property. 10% is a small price to pay to have them manage, market and promote my property. Additionally, Evolve takes the guess work out the equations. I love the simplicity of their app and how hands off it can be for the owner. Their customer support team either by phone or through their app is responsive and helpful. I have am had ZERO complaints now how smooth things have worked for me. Keep it going Evolve, I’m one satisfied customer --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
