I was able to browse through multiple listings and the app and user interface were very intuitive and easy to use and speedy. What is my biggest priorities in life is speed and I was able to find and lease house extremely quickly. 10 out of 10 would recommend ### 5/5 — Awesome. *2024-07-18, version 1.0.3* Definitely addresses a need. Well made UI, able to use the app with ease. Excited to see where it goes. ### 5/5 — Lifesaver *2024-07-18, version 1.0.3* This app was a life saver with housing in Santa Barbara. I needed to find a subleaser asap, and gave this app a chance, within a few hours the perfect housemate reached out and I easily subleased to him. This will be a go to for me and my friends with the housing crisis in Santa Barbara. ### 5/5 — Very helpful housing tool *2024-07-18, version 1.0.3* I listed my room in Isla Vista, CA because I needed a subleaser for the quarter. Within 2 days I was able to find them through housing helper. I was able to send pictures and all the information I needed through the chat. It also has no fees when listing properties which other real estate apps have. Highly recommend this app especially for college students. ### 5/5 — Useful app *2024-07-17, version 1.0.2* Used this app to fill my last 2 spots for my house this upcoming school year. Same day as my posting I was able to get in contact with tenants. With how tough Isla Vista housing is this app made everything easier. ### 5/5 — Great App *2024-07-17, version 1.0* Helped me find my housing ### 5/5 — The Solution to College Housing *2024-07-15, version 1.0* This app is great and makes it much easier to find housing in a college town. It’s clean and organized in the most applicable way for students. Really excited for its future. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Terrible! *2025-09-24, version 2.13* Doesn’t work at all! I posted the sublease add, received an email from someone interested and when I tried to reply to the interested person, the app didn’t work. It deleted my profile. I did it all over again with photos etc and AGAIN I couldn’t respond to people interested. And I couldn’t find my profile once again. So don’t waste your time! It’s a completely useless app. It simply DOES NOT WORK!!!! ### 1/5 — STILL completely broken *2025-09-06, version 2.12* I commented a bit ago about how the interface was completely broken, and they responded saying they rolled it back to fix it. It was a different version and some interface bugs were gone, but the app is even more broken than before. Cannot sign in with email anymore, and there is no forgot password button for migrating an email account to phone number. Every time you open the app you have to click through the introduction screens and “you’re protected” again before being able to use anything else. The message inbox doesn’t load correctly; all the messages appear from one random name of a different user (which sometimes changes; presumable because I’m getting messages from new people but can’t access them). And some are just eternally loading without saying who they’re from. Trying to update a listing deletes or duplicates it, needing to put all the information in all over again. Absolutely terrible experience using this app. Clearly it wasn’t just the one designer they fired who is the problem. Additionally, it always lists the price higher than I put in!!! Why is it doing this?? I put in one number, even go back to fix it, but it always appears about $50 more expensive on the listing! ### 1/5 — Broken interface *2025-09-02, version 2.12* Even after reverting to “stable version,” updating a listing erases all the information you put in, so you have to re-enter everything and re-upload photos. For some reason the list price is higher than I entered, even after trying to redo this. Annoying intro screen pops up every time you go to the search tab even after clicking through it each time. ### 1/5 — Broken app *2025-08-27* Garbage design. Keyboard comes up when making listing and can’t be hidden, permanently hiding the submit or next button. Tried everything. Can’t be fixed. Literally unusable. Clearly designer never even bothered to test it. **Developer response:** We just fired our designer and reverted to a stable version. This will not happen again. Thank you for letting us know! ### 1/5 — Horrible *2025-08-23, version 2.11* This app isn’t developed well. I tried several times and it just doesn’t publish what I want and I cannot even delete the listings once they are published. What is the matter with these people don’t release an app that is terribly not ready. ### 3/5 — Can’t Edit Profile *2025-02-12* Like it says in the title… can’t edit profile. If I try, app crashes and freezes. Pretty limited selection of people on the app so far, but hopefully that changes — I’d LOVE to have an alternative to Facebook. Ideal Features: - need to be able to input whether you’re looking for male or female roommates - Budget range - Make more activities selectable ### 5/5 — Fixed *2025-10-11, version 2.15* New version is great! Helped me get out of my lease and save my rent within one day ### 5/5 — Helpful! *2025-02-28, version 1.4.5* Gives great opportunities to find housing in IV ### 5/5 — Found my housemate on here *2025-02-10, version 1.4.0* Good stuff ### 5/5 — Great App! *2025-01-03, version 1.3.5* Great app for finding roommates or just a place in general. Very good design and lots of places to choose from. ## Most praised reviews (6 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — YAY! *2024-12-09, version 1.3.4* I LOVE HOUSING HELPER ### 5/5 — Perfect *2024-12-08, version 1.3.4* Exactly what a college town needs. Makes life so much easier. ### 5/5 — hella good app *2024-12-08, version 1.3.4* hella good app for finding housing. Very devoted devs and a great team ### 5/5 — Helpful *2024-12-08, version 1.3.4* Super helpful app! ### 5/5 — super helpful to find housing *2024-12-05, version 1.3.2* way easier than searching multiple sites for housing like fb marketplace and reddit. it’s all in one which is perfect :)👍 ### 5/5 — Housing *2024-12-05, version 1.3.2* I liked the matching system --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
