### 3/5 — Not Great

*2026-03-06, version 1.9.1*

The website, in my opinion, is more useful than this app. It does not allow the selection of a range of values, nor can you adjust the date of availability.

### 5/5 — Great way for Military Members to find great housing

*2023-12-12, version 1.8.3*

Military helping military.

### 3/5 — Too Glitchy

*2023-08-30, version 1.8.3*

Can’t search properties when you can’t select a state

### 2/5 — App works sometimes

*2023-08-21, version 1.8.3*

App works sometimes

### 1/5 — Use website. This app is useless

*2023-07-13, version 1.8.3*

The app gives absolutely no results for the same filters on the website that yield pages of results.
Why even have this up, American Eagle? You’re giving the site a bad name with this waste of time.

### 1/5 — Unable to do search w/o base *

*2023-07-10, version 1.8.3*

It asks for a base* and when you click on  “Base*“ it pops up a list of states not bases. If you click on any of the states and then next it doesn’t add or give options for a base and the state doesn’t show you’ve selected anything and won’t allow for any searches. If you skip that portion it also doesn’t allow for you to enter the section of time available. Either way no search is able to be completed or even started without a Base* selection yet I am unable to do this.

### 1/5 — Filter tools don’t work

*2022-07-07, version 1.8.2*

Nice concept but once you add a filter, nothing shows up. Makes it cumbersome to go through. The website isn’t much better. Both needs lots of improvement.

### 1/5 — Terrible app

*2021-03-09, version 1.8.2*

Every time you leave and come back it does not keep any of your info!
Ridiculous

### 4/5 — Best APP for veterans!

*2020-10-04, version 1.8.2*

While searching for a new home or need to sell, download and use this app! It will show your options near bases, and every preferred detail of a home you would like. The communication between buyer/seller/renter is simple and worth it. Totally recommend using this app. I’ve listed and rented so far from other vets!

### 1/5 — Fix your listings!!!

*2020-09-05, version 1.8.2*

This app is terrible. The listings never match the state/base selected.
