### 3/5 — Pretty good

*2026-07-08*

Seems to work alright , only thing that happens when I’m scrolling through looking at the list of properties if I click on one to look further at it, if I back out it, it starts me back at the the top of the list which is super annoying having to scroll past the same 20-30 properties again…

### 3/5 — Inconvenience Fixes

*2026-07-04*

Great app. When I click onto a property and then come out, the app boots me to the top of the page instead of at the same point of the page to then continue. It forces me to speed scroll to get back to the latest listing. 

Also, I know it’s to track engagement but can you provide all photos on the homepage so that I don’t have to click into the listing. The analytics will be more relevant and we won’t be wasting each other’s time.

### 3/5 — Good app though many bugs

*2026-02-17, version 4.70.0*

Love the app but every now and again you try and click on a property and it doesn’t go like it’s frozen. Please fix

### 3/5 — Filters are a bit clunky

*2025-11-06, version 4.67.0*

The app is pretty good but sometimes the filters are a bit clunky to clear. This can result in missing some listings

### 2/5 — Could be better

*2025-04-15*

Good app but please include a floor plan in each listing. UK and Australia real estate do but not NZ. It’s a real shame and could so easily be rectified.

### 3/5 — Search feature lets it down

*2025-04-12*

This is my go to real estate app but the way the search works really lets the experience down. Even with the amount of times I’ve used the search, I still struggle to get the results I want. If you’re the PM on this feature and you’re reading my review please for the love of good fix the search experience. Everything else is great.

### 3/5 — Crashing all the time

*2024-12-18*

Generally a good app but recently it's constantly crashing when linking through from email/text notifications.

### 5/5 — Rentals

*2024-05-14, version 4.38.1*

Enjoying it at the moment

### 5/5 — Best property app in the market

*2024-03-13, version 4.35.3*

I love your app!

### 5/5 — Awesome App

*2024-03-04, version 4.35.2*

By far the most informative and easy to use real estate app in NZ

### 4/5 — Great app

*2024-03-02, version 4.35.0*

It is a useful app helps me to find my favourite property.  I wish if it can be added a function, for example a red star to identify the properties I have viewed.

### 5/5 — Hi

*2024-02-04*

Cool app

### 2/5 — Saved searches are not relevant

*2024-01-24, version 4.34.1*

I had saved searches land up to 120k, and daily I get sent "its a match" listings for houses and land with listed asking prices well above 1mil.  Makes the whole saved searches functionality pointless when you end up having to search thru a big pile of irrelevant property to see if any actually match the search criteria.

  I can do that without registering and saving a search criteria (that then is ignored anyway).  

Today got an "its a match" email for a property (land and house) with an asking price of 1.6mil.  

How is that being sent as matching a saved search criteria where max price = 120,000??  However their search price algorithms are built, they are not working (in terms of 'working' meaning people get results relevant to their search filters).

Is main property site/app for NZ so I will keep using as there are no other options, but I hope they will fix this one day so my saved search's are relevant. 
And of course when I am busy, if I get multiple emails a day saying "Its a match" then I am less likely to stop what I am doing and check the email, as I know its most likely a pile of properties well outside my price range and other preferences.  
And then I miss out on properties not because I am not committed to buying, but because I don't have time to filter a search filter that is incorrectly sending me 90% results outside my price range.

At least once I found out from the agent (after the fact) that the highest offer was less than what I would have offered as a cash buyer. 
So the agents and vendors are also missing out by the search facility being so inaccurate.
I'd add a screenshot of one of todays emails "matching" my under $120k search filter (for a place asking 1.7mill) if screenshots were an option here

### 5/5 — Great app, easy to use. Much better than TradeMe

*2024-01-18, version 4.34.1*

Love the finger search.

### 5/5 — Love it!

*2023-12-02, version 4.33.1*

Great way to find property.

### 5/5 — Useful App

*2023-11-30, version 4.33.1*

### 1/5 — Why Need Full Access to Calendar

*2025-04-19, version 4.58.0*

With “Add Events Only” access granted to Calendar, the app do not add events to Calendar, but prompt “Calendar permission denied”. It only adds events when “Full Access” to Calendar. Why you need the full access to my calendar while only adding events?

### 1/5 — No rentals for rent

*2025-04-09, version 4.58.0*

The app recons theres no properties for rent in the whole new zealand?? fix your app

### 1/5 — Does not work

*2024-11-28*

I tried typing in several suburbs and 0 listings when there’s so many. App isn’t great to use

### 1/5 — Technical issues

*2024-05-22, version 4.38.1*

Can’t log in on the app, using the same details that work in a browser.

### 1/5 — Frustrating slow

*2023-07-09*

This is single-handedly the most frustrating app and website to use. It’s is so bloody slow to load images it’s unusable. This is on 5G. 

Old, out of date listings.

### 1/5 — Just when you thought it was safe to star browsing again…

*2022-11-05, version 4.18.0*

So if you have the power cable in and at the top the app is now upside down - useless….

### 1/5 — Bad app

*2022-11-04, version 4.18.0*

Great website, terrible app. Wouldn’t load properties and kept showing me the same 3 over and over again and then just went completely blank.

### 1/5 — Harder to use filled with adds

*2022-10-19*

Each update to this app is worse than the last.

### 1/5 — Latest version is terrible

*2022-02-13*

I loved using this app, until the latest release. Now I can’t see any properties at all in the Auckland area, the search feature generates no results!

Please fix so I can use this again. I’ll have to use the website version in the meantime

**Developer response:** Hi there, please update to the latest version and try refining your search for the Auckland area again. Feel free to reach out at feedback@realestate.co.nz if you are still having trouble

### 1/5 — Clunky outdated

*2021-06-19, version 3.2.20*

Map function is shocking to use not a very user friendly app at all no wonder more people are using trade me. Check out the Australian apps realestate.com.au or domain both run far superior apps. I can see why the reviews are 1.3 star.

### 5/5 — Excellent app

### 5/5 — Great app

*2025-12-14, version 4.68.0*

I love this app. The little features like commute time and in school zones plus living area o each house just make it so easy to be able to compare properties and make an informed decision

### 5/5 — So thankful

*2025-09-14, version 4.64.0*

We never would’ve found our beautiful first home without this app, we are so grateful and will most definitely be using in the future when we decide to upgrade / invest

Loving the commute function!

### 5/5 — Searching

*2025-02-04, version 4.54.0*

Use this app all the time.  Looking for properties outside our area so the feedback and information we receive from this app is invaluable to us.

### 5/5 — Pet5543

*2025-01-08, version 4.52.0*

My favourite pastime but would prefer it to stick to my chosen areas, do not want to see random other areas thrown in that are in totally different places.

### 5/5 — Search draw

*2024-11-05, version 4.50.0*

Love the search draw function on maps - 
Instant notifications make life way easier! 
And price drop emails are sooo handy

If you love property like me this is my go to

### 5/5 — Map function is fabulous.

*2024-05-28, version 4.38.1*
