Aurent collaboration with flatmate

Do not trust the "verified" agencies on this platform. Flatmates collaborates with Aurent, a fraudulent agency that uses verification badges to trick people into renting through them. Countless users wait over two months for their bond, and many never see it again. I have personally been waiting over a month for a response, but all they send are vague, ambiguous replies with zero real solutions. I am losing all hope of getting my money back. It is disgraceful that Flatmates allows scammers on their app without proper vetting. They have lost all credibility

Paid over 50$+ for nothing

First of all, I didn’t know that if you’re advertising for a listing, you wont even receive any messages until you pay, so 3 days after I listed I randomly got 5 people texting me at the same time. Turns out, the app literally withholds the messages for a few days unless you’re paying. Which if I knew I wouldve paid from the beginning! I technically did get people asking about the property but honestly not that many, over a month now and I have paid to boost it as well only to get less then 15 people and some of them genuinely might be bots.

Ignore Positive Reviews

Just a poor quality app altogether, ignores specific filters or searches you’ve put out so it can advertise premium profiles, even if they aren’t what you’re looking for, it encourages far more poor quality housing agents who are looking to advertise their properties, completely pushing to the side people who are actually advertising rooms and not just telling Chat Gpt “advertise this room as glowingly as possible” without every having seeing the place. Frankly, Flatmates is so desperate to have people use their little boosted and premium features they fail to do their very basic conceit and actually connect people who want flats with people selling them. #1 at nothing, i do NOT recommend

This app is great however, the filters could be better. Am male and I’m searching for a room to stay. I’ve placed the filter on anyone including couples but it keeping bring up women only rooms as well. But am male. If it could take into account one’s gender that would be awesome.

Can only hit the pause button on plan once. Wish I was told that prior

Can’t accidentally hit wrong button to choose to put plan on hold . I pushed the wrong button and now I can’t pause my plan. Only upgrade.
I only paid $30 a few days ago. I’m getting surgery and can’t move atm.
Wish I could pause my plan more than once.
