Also can’t glance through photos from opening pages, and the over sensitivity causes you to enter the listings with no easy way to return. Lots of glitches need sorting ### 2/5 — Have to login every time I open *2024-03-09, version 4.6.0* The app itself is fine but it’s ridiculous that I have to login every single time I open it. ### 1/5 — Not working at all. *2020-05-07, version 3.2.5* Used this app for years, it seems to have ceased working correctly.App loads fine, then every single property I click on just becomes a white screen. Have deleted and reinstalled, same issue. Also tried on multiple devices. ### 1/5 — White screen *2020-05-05, version 3.2.5* Some properties arbitrarily have white screen. ### 1/5 — Frustrating app *2020-05-05, version 3.2.5* Some properties when selected go to a white screen. Can’t go back and have to delete app and start again ### 1/5 — Dreadful. *2020-05-03, version 3.2.5* The recent change is dreadful, it crashes every other viewing! Whoever is responsible for this needs to revert back to the original, the whole idea of updates is for improvement and that has failed miserably. ### 1/5 — Frustrating *2020-04-23, version 3.2.5* Every so often app logs me out, obviously a security feature, i then have to sign back in but every time i forget my password because it requires you to enter such a complicated one and for what reason I don’t know. I don’t understand why a house searching app requires such high security, even online banking systems don’t require such. ### 1/5 — Awful *2020-03-07, version 3.2.5* Worst app ever. Fix the bugs, you cannot get back to the search function after clicking on a property link ### 1/5 — Crap *2019-11-08, version 3.2.4* Version 3 is crap, bring back version 2 otherwise I’ll stick to PropertyPal ### 1/5 — Got worse *2019-10-26, version 3.2.4* Used to be essential. Now too irritating. Need to log in every time and reset your search options. Better alternative sites available. ### 1/5 — New Version is Awful? *2019-07-24, version 3.2.4* What on earth have you done. This new version is a backward step.So many faults ! ### 1/5 — Bring back the old App *2019-07-23, version 3.2.4* I wish I’d never updated to this version of the app. The previous version was simple to use but this is just awful. Will be deleting. ### 2/5 — New update is poor *2019-06-30, version 3.2.4* This app used to be great. Now it’s hard to navigate, with a very confusing interface. Loved the old set up ### 1/5 — Unusable *2019-06-26, version 3.2.3* Used to be fine, but now difficult to navigate and ads prevent you actually getting anywhere. Pointless app. ### 1/5 — Rubbish *2019-05-19, version 3.2.1* Do NOT update to this version. The original App was perfect - if it ‘ain’t broke etc. Search facility is poorer. You can no longer turn you phone to quickly access the photographs in landscape and you can’t zoom in on the photos - perhaps two of the most important features you need when viewing property online. I will be trying to move back to the original App and if that’s not possible I’ll be deleting this to good. Clearly an update designed by an idiot. Come on Belfast Telegraph - how could you get this soo wrong?!? ### 1/5 — Bad decision on redesign *2019-05-09, version 3.2.1* I used to use the app multiple times a day and loved the fact you can view a summary of all properties and addresses. They new UI is terrible. I’d have switched to PropertyPal a long time ago if I found that view useful. Terrible. Hoping you see sense and switch it back - or at least the option to revert to original view ### 1/5 — Bad update *2019-05-05, version 3.2.1* Backward step. Older version was better. If I could give no starts I would ### 1/5 — Horrible update *2019-05-01, version 3.2.1* Look feel and functionality all horrible - it’s 5 steps backwards. How can you get it so wrong! ### 1/5 — REALLY BAD UPDATE *2019-04-29, version 3.2.1* The older version was a lot easier to navigate. Everything used to load in as you scrolled down the page. Now there is actually very little on each page then you have to press on to the next one. After you view a property that you’ve saved, you have to go back to the start of your favourites to get to the next one. Think this will be getting deleted to make room for an alternative app. 💔 ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Flawed recent update *2025-07-28, version 5.1.0* No back button now to go back on a property so you have to do the whole search again ### 1/5 — New update is bad *2025-07-25, version 5.1.0* There is now no “back to search” button when you look at a property so you have to do the whole search again and scroll down to where you got to. Far too time consuming. ### 1/5 — Used to be a great wee app but.... *2024-05-30, version 4.6.2* What did you guys do??? The app started making me log in every time for the last few months & now it won’t even open at all on my ipad (yes - I’ve got the latest version downloaded). Screw this. It’s hard enough trying to find an affordable house never mind having to fight with the app beforehand. Zoopla from now on for me unless this is fixed. ### 1/5 — Annoying *2021-07-20, version 3.3.5* Every time I go to return to search results it resets the filters/location I have on and I have to enter them again after viewing each property. Incredibly annoying. ### 1/5 — Very hard to navigate *2021-07-09, version 3.3.5* Is it just me or is it impossible to return to the search results after viewing a property? VERY frustrating and puts me right off using the app. ### 1/5 — Shame. *2021-04-23, version 3.3.5* When it works it’s such a great app. The format they use is very intuitive but damn does it constantly crash making it unusable. Pity ### 1/5 — Deleted app *2020-09-14, version 3.2.6* Constantly opens adverts for phoenix gas. So annoying. ### 1/5 — Terrible! *2020-05-18, version 3.2.5* I can see that others are having similar problems and you’re doing nothing about it. So why am I bothering... please please please can you just undo everything you’ve tried in the past year or so and go back to what you had a few years ago! This app is absolutely shocking! ### 1/5 — App crashes on every viewing *2020-05-13, version 3.2.5* When you access any property the screen is white with no content , then you can’t go back to the results screen ### 1/5 — Useless !! *2020-05-12, version 3.2.5* This App is totally useless, it only shows a handful of properties and then won’t scroll any further. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — App cleaned up after update *2019-07-02, version 3.2.4* The app had a few issues that were quickly resolved. I’m happy enough to edit my review. Works well. ### 5/5 — Nice touch *2014-07-07, version 2.1* Good job PN, quite sleek! Like the layout, looking to move at the mo and finding this app very handy for looking at any properties that strike me ### 5/5 — Disappointed *2014-03-12, version 2.0.1* Doesn't work on iPad 1 anymore ### 5/5 — Class app!! *2014-01-30, version 2.0* This is a fantastic app and a big improvement on the previous offering. Well done propertynews!! The ability to search different sectors and multiple areas is great. You can now also hide properties from search results and the addition of the swipe functionality to favourite properties is pretty cool. ### 5/5 — Weezer92 *2014-01-24, version 2.0* Awesome little app. So easy to use and a huge improvement on the previous version. ### 5/5 — Good update *2013-02-09, version 1.2* Crashing fixed. Thanks for restoring a brilliant app to its best. Look forward to new version :) ### 5/5 — Excellent and underrated *2012-10-18, version 1.1.2* No idea what others' bad reviews are for. A well designed, easy to use and largely bug-free app. It has been very useful for me over the past few weeks and a big advantage over the site's rivals. ### 5/5 — Underrated! Excellent. *2012-09-19, version 1.1.2* Just excellent. The bad reviewers need to restore their phones or upgrade, nothing to do with the app. ### 5/5 — Brilliant app *2010-04-03, version 0* great for flat hunting in Belfast, a must have for all NI Students looking a place next term ### 5/5 — Great App - A must!!!! *2010-03-03, version 0* Congratulations to the purveyors of this great iPhone app. I use this everyday, and highly recommend this as a very easy to use property portal in your pocket. I'm sure the mechanics behind this are complicated...but the format is very user-friendly and a dream to enjoy. Yes, it has a 'few' bugs (crashes pretty often), but is a must for all property investors and house-hunters alike. Five Stars and a big thank you to GCD for 'yet again' bringing great tech to our fingertips via a powerful and superbly built program. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
