Worst app ever

It doesn’t recognize accounts made online. You cannot log in to the app unless you created your account on the app. Horrible.

Full of scammers

I put up an ad that I was looking for a room in NYC. After almost a month it reported 2 views. The vast majority of the listings were from real estate companies where you don’t even get to meet your roommates before you sign. And worst of all, they renewed my $28 subscription without warning and have a blanket no refund policy. Avoid this app at all costs. I found my place through SpareRoom. Use them instead.

This app is NOT the same from 1 year ago- YOU WERE WARNED

The "easy to get in, hard to get out / keep you paying" part specifically is called a roach motel. That’s exactly what this feels like. After paying $28 for verification two weeks ago, my listing in prime Manhattan real estate zip code has 8 views and zero messages. Click on customer service and it says “coming soon.” Email them and get a delivery failure notice 2 days later.

Not good for NYC

99% of the ads for Manhattan are SPAM. It won’t allow me to message anyone unless I pay for a plan even though I’ve earned identity badges and verifications.

BEWARE!!! App is full of scammers.

App is full of scammers but it's virtually impossible to flag a fraudulent listing or contact anyone for support. DON'T SEND ANY MONEY TO ANYONE FROM THIS APP. My niece found this out the hard way.
