glitchy expensive unhelpful

“early access” feature means no one can respond to my ad unless i pay £20 - which is insanely steep! not everyone who needs this app is getting bankrolled by mummy and daddy. i also have no way of knowing when the time period elapses and my room ad will just be up like normal. according to their website t&cs “The Early Access Period: • Is determined by us at our discretion • May vary by listing, city, region, demand, or other factors • May change at any time • Not all listings are subject to Early Access”… and nothing in the app clarifies this - it’s so unclear. i never used to mind how glitchy this app was but now i do. like i can’t view what my profile or my ad looks like to others. glitchy messages that disappear. often the app is just unresponsive or stays stuck on a blank loading screen.

Response from developer

Thanks for the feedback skytreecloud. There are some very fair points here. We clearly need to do a better job explaining how Early Access works and when listings become free to contact, and we've already made some updates to the copy to make this clearer. We've also recently released an update that addresses a number of the root causes behind issues like blank loading screens and general app stability. We're a small team, but improving reliability and the overall experience remains our biggest focus right now. Appreciate you taking the time to leave detailed feedback. It's tough to read, but it helps us improve.

App not working

Hi, I have downloaded the app but it’s simply not working. All system requirements are there, but all I see is a white screen. Have been following the IG page and would love the opportunity to use the app

Response from developer

We're so sorry you ran into that issue! We've been overjoyed with the incredible response from our community — with more users and listings, we've had to scale up quickly. The home page map, where listings are loaded in real-time based on your view and filters has been a big focus for us. We've made significant improvements to how listings are loaded and displayed in our latest release. Please check again — things should feel much smoother now! Thanks so much for your support ♥️

too bad it doesn’t function

I really wanted this too work but the functions terribly, so many bugs and lack of options

Response from developer

Hi lpmleandro, Sorry, we know this can be incredibly frustrating. As a new app, we’re doing our best to squash any bugs that arise as quickly as possible. That said, this issue has been fixed in the latest release. Good luck with your search!

Not worth it

I purchased the premium subscription, but the app is extremely buggy so requests to people don’t always send, and I got almost no responses to any inquiries I had made. The one response I did get turned out to be an elaborate scam which I only discovered by reverse google searching the flat images. Other platforms are better than this app.

IG account was better

There was so much more interest and responsiveness via IG than via the app. I feel like no one is really using the app. I used to get so many responses to my sublet via the IG and now maybe just a couple of requests on the app

:(

It’s like I’m sending requests into the void. Not one reply in like 50 requests, and when I go check in my inbox, it doesn’t show one message, like not even the ones I sent. What is going on with this app? It used to be so easy via instagram…

App stuck on blank loading screen

Just want to get developers attention. App is currently unusable. When I open just left with a blank white screen.

Notifications don't work so when I see the messages it's way too late

good idea as a app

Love this app but hope we can filter hot and cold it would save us from wasting time on finding the price and budget control

And so many people do not say it is hot but acctually there is a fixed price for bills. I think the app should encourage people to be honest about the price, in stead of trying to make the price looks cheaper but actually it increased it subtly.

If we could list the bill range price on the first place - be more transparent, it could save a lot our time to find the right place. Unless this is the trick of running the app by increasing how much time we need to spend and pay the boost fee when people getting too frustrated.

Great app

Good concept! Loved when you were just an IG page and love it even more now you have an app

messaging glitches

great tool for finding flats but the messaging section is very glitchy, i have received notifications with nothing new in the chat and also sent messages that just don’t deliver / disappear on my end

More like mirror

Rich kids trying to make money of the house daddy bought them by making you pass there personal talent show while they cos play poverty and raise the rent prices for everyone else .

Not sure who or why somone thought this was a good idea if your a self centred egomaniac with more money then sense you will love this app

Hi Marley193838 - Thanks for taking the time to share your thoughts. It sounds like your review might be more about an experience with another user rather than the app itself. We totally understand that not every interaction can be great, but we’d really love to hear any feedback you have about the app so we can keep improving it for everyone. Appreciate you giving the app a try 🙏

Goated app

Helped me find my new gaff!

What a find!!!?

Loving this app.

Easy

So easy to navigate

Great app

Such a smooth interface, runs really well and was amazing in helping me find my new place to stay quickly!

Yes yes yes

Would highly recommend! Fills a massive gap in the market and helped me find a rental. Thank you!

Useful but terrible interface

Their search and filter features don’t really work making it really hard to find something that’s actually useful to without having to go over the map manually

Response from developer

Thanks so much for your feedback nrm_review! We’ve completely revamped the app including search and filter experience to make it much easier to find what you need. Everything should now work smoothly, and we really appreciate you giving the app another try.

Greatest

!!

Needs improvement

Great concept, but the apps been such a let down. I’ve had tones of interest in my place but anytime I’ve gone to accept a chat with someone they disappear, which means I’ve missed out on a load of great potential house mates. Also it seems that my matches only show up after I’ve declined someone. Lots slipping through the cracks

Thanks for your feedback Sam.B21 - we understand how frustrating those issues must have been. Since then, we’ve completely rebuilt the app from the ground up and addressed all of these problems (and much more). Matches, chats, and filters should now work seamlessly. We’d love for you to check it out and see the improvements for yourself!
