No land lord calls back

I call places or buildings and nobody ever picks up even if I leave a voicemail I’m never receiving a call back

10/10 better than competitors

HotPads is far a far better app and platform over the alternatives and has better filtration features, by far. The ONLY reason to use the evil top platform is because so many places do applications and messaging through it. All three main competitors’ apps are absolute unstable trash. Hell, I’d work for HotPads - with the right new features, they deserve to be the go-to housing platform.

Misleading.

Lists new units but complex has been around for years. Prices are always inaccurate. Seems they removed a lot of the direct websites. Little to know additional information is really on there just a bunch of pictures.

Fix Messages bug!

Great app, but it won’t show messages on the app from landlords you’ve contacted.
