Very useful
This app helped me find several shared accommodation options, and I’m overall very happy with it.
The only drawback is that messaging flatmates directly and getting immediate responses requires a paid upgrade. Without it, messages are delayed, which can be an issue if you need to find a place urgently. For me, the upgrade was worth it because of the time pressure. If you’re searching quickly, keep this limitation of the free version in mind.
Otherwise, Flatmates has a wide range of listings, from budget rooms to more premium options, so it suits most needs. Overall, I’d definitely recommend it.

Suggestions
I would love to see more options to customise the search experience. For example, having the ability to hide listings that I don’t like or mark preferences so they don’t keep appearing would make the process much more efficient.
The filters could also be improved by adding more specific options, such as pets. For example, I am allergic to cats, so having a “no cats” preference would prevent me from being matched with houses that are not suitable for me and save everyone’s time.
It would also be helpful to have a filter for the maximum number of people in the house. For me, four people would be the absolute maximum, so being able to exclude houses with five or six people would make the search much more relevant.
Overall, adding more detailed filters and personal preferences would make it easier to find suitable homes and create a much better experience for both renters and property advertisers.

Bug
It doesn’t show the keyboard to write my ideal flatmate when I’m trying to list. I’m using iPhone 16 pro.
good
i like
Great app
Great app found a place to call home with in a week
Average app
The concept is great but the app isn’t great. Quite a few glitches and push notifications don’t work
Pointless
Dont bother
App functionality problems
The Flatmates app’s functionality is broken and unreliable. Bugs persist for years with no fixes from the owners. Needs major work.
Paywall
Gotta love when apps put an essential part behind a $20+ pay wall, how accessible!
Banned the honesty landlords without further investigation!
This app does not provide a good service to the user especially to the landlord. Take it’s user the money without providing any service! I requested my full refund.
Needs improvement
The app is very useful for finding flatmates. I think that the mobile interface needs access to inspection times. Currently only accessible through a computer.
Such poor form to make you pay to instantly message for HOUSING
Haven’t used this app in years, so disappointed with that update… this app does not care about human beings.
Bad bad bad
Some parts of the ads cannot be modified even after paying. In order to make those changes, I have to create and pay for a completely new ad again.
I also receive emails saying that I have been given one month of subscription for free, but this does not appear to be true.
Additionally, even after paying, I still need to manually activate the ad, and shortly after it gets automatically deactivated again.
I have sent emails to customer support but I have not received any response.

Terrible app and customer service
Don’t buy the app! Use flat mate finders instead. Not worth upgrading. It’s all a scam. There are issues with messages being sent as well. I doubt your listing gets boosted on any upgrade. Then they ask for an extra $10 to do so. The customer service team have no empathy towards any situation and only care about taking your money.

“Free for 1 listing BUT you have to upgrade $35 to receive messages”
Money grab. You can do one listing but unable to receive messages unless you upgrade for $35
Bad app
The messages doesn’t work
Message not showing
Despite paying for an upgrade, the app is not releasing my messages.
Expensive app
$35 for ten days to list a room for rent!!!! Wow!!!!
Pay for nothing
Even if you pay for the monthly plan, the app is not designed to make other ppl respond to you.just a scam
Sift through the mess
Expect spam messages from people who do not read your profiles to see your preferences. So Frustrating
