Search doesn’t work

Always been an ok app. Not great not bad. But since the last update I found the search button on the map doesn’t work!

Best property search

Right move helped me to find property according to my need with parking, garden, close to park, school, grocery stores.

Poor searches

I love the app but are frustrated that the search engine fails to find the choices I make in filters. It just ignores those choices.

Great app but…. Duo

Hi dev team, this is a great app but it’d be nice to see an iPhone Duo update please. Thank you.

Wonderful app to make renting and buying easy

Really impressed with the app, makes renting and buying options easy to search and find. Thank you!

Required review

This update requirement keeps popping up, then when going to the app store, all that is required, is a review. Totally unnecessary!

Terrible app

Terrible app, should be mandatory to put available date and remove properties once it’s leased/unavailable.

Should have been taken over by real estate Australia

New updates ruined the app

I love Rightmove - I’m currently in the market for a house, but even before then I liked to use it to window shop. Recently they published an update that makes the app a lot less usable. It gets very laggy, and I’ve found myself accidentally clicking away from the results entirely because if I click back I can’t tell if it registered and will click again. It breaks down and I have to restart. And for all of this? There’s not a single product or UI improvement to make this worth it. They’ve made some buttons translucent and therefore crashed the app? It’s just strange honestly.

This is the first app review I’ve ever done because I’m hoping they make some hot fixes quickly

Where has the “search here” button gone

To break one of the UK’s most important apps is not a good move. Why can I no longer tap “search here” when I move the map. Someone needs to work quickly to fix this

Update: still not fixed in latest update. If you are using the map in a saved search, you still cannot use “search here”, and the map shows a random selection of houses on the map, with no way to display all of them

Further update: still not fixed. On a saved search, map view remains broken: you need to repeatedly tap Show More to have it display all properties on the map, then it becomes incredibly slow, or is impossible for large searches. No longer an ability to zoom to an area and Search Here. Emailed support and not taken seriously and no fix. For others also flagging this in reviews, note Zoopla does not have this bug and actually I’ve realised it has a better search function.

Useful

Would be better if we could remove obviously inappropriate properties from appearing in further searches of an area.

When I say “inappropriate” I mean properties that fall within the criteria, and that I’ve viewed but discounted for obvious reasons - fronting a busy trunk road, pylons in view, next to a quarry, too close to arable fields etc. If I’ve already viewed and discounted a property, it would be useful to remove it from future searches.

Yay

Yay

Very helpful app

This app will do most things well. If the developers could allow the use of any keyword in searches, and allow keywords to be part of saved searches it would be a great improvement.

Stopped working

All fine until yesterday. Now I can’t do anything once I’ve logged on “Something’s gone wrong” or “this page doesn’t exist”

I’ve deleted the app and reinstalled, cleared caches, no VPN active, phone up to date - very frustrating! I’ve lost all my “saved properties” and searches from the last 12 months

Looking for properties

Easy to navigate properties by selecting your preferences.

Excellent

Right move app is excellent for searching for properties. I used it find a property that fits my family when were moving. There’s lots of listings and options to choose from. I like that is not limited to areas or postcodes.

Good for a nosey

Highly Inaccurate

This app would not be bad but they fail to take down listings that were sold months ago.

Alerts do not work

The alerts do not open since the last update. Suggest you fully check before release, basic QA
really.

Incorrect listings and logout

The app is great but logs me out every time I click a notification and also I keep finding a property then realise that it’s not where it claims to be. The estate agents are entering a fake location as click bait. There should be an option to report these properties / agents to stop them doing this.
