### 2/5 — Future listing feature relies on AI Predictability, not verified unit availability/information

*2026-07-14, version 4.0.11*

As the title indicates, Openigloo is yet another app now relying on data pooling from rental history for lease expirations to “predict” when units will go on the market. It’s being advertised as a method for you to get ahead and plan for your anticipated move-in date (if beyond the typical 30 days out), but in reality there is no verified postings, lease expirations, or unit information on these listings that confirm unit availability; furthermore, the app artificially manufactures “scheduled viewing” windows to offer you, when in reality you’re simply messaging with their chatbot and never fulfill any tours or further conversation. It’s just a gimmick and not a productive means of “getting ahead” on your apartment search as advertised. It’s unfortunate because in theory this would be an extraordinarily helpful tool, so long as it was actually executed in a meaningful way.

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Verification

*2026-08-03, version 4.0.13*

I’m not receiving the code to my phone. I checked the spam folder.

### 1/5 — This App is not user friendly!

*2026-06-17, version 4.0.7*

This app get stuck. You must close it down to start over.  Also the AI assistant gets your appointments mixed up!

### 1/5 — Misleading listings

*2026-05-06, version 4.0.5*

This website is very misleading.

### 1/5 — False info

*2026-04-23, version 4.0.3*

I find the listings or false when I went there in person it’s just exaggerated

### 1/5 — Useless unless you want to pay for it

*2026-03-23, version 4.0.1*

You can’t access any real pertinent information about a building unless you pay for access which is $10 for 24 hour access or $25 for longer. For an app that claims to want to help protect from corruption in the city it’s a pretty steep pay wall that’s preventing many people from using it and spreading well needed information

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2026-02-27, version 3.7.7*

No matter how much u apply no one ever gets back to you no emails no open house nothing a waste of time

### 1/5 — fake

*2026-02-23, version 3.7.7*

i reached out to over 10 apartments on this app and didn’t hear back from a single one. doesn’t actually contact any landlords or lease agents. do not recommend any subscriptions here.

### 1/5 — Candidate Exploitation

*2026-02-03, version 3.7.7*

This company operates in bad faith. I went through five interview rounds and was asked to complete a detailed case study, only to realize the role wasn’t real and my work was being used for ideas. Lesson learned: be cautious of companies requesting unpaid work outside legitimate hiring channels.

### 1/5 — A Fee to Read Reviews

*2026-01-21, version 3.7.7*

This app used to be completely free now they charge $9.99 for 24 hr access to read reviews or $19.99 for 3 months. Nothing in between.  Also should be noted that you cannot pay using the App Store. You need to pay using the apps own website which explains why people are complaining about it being impossible to cancel.
