THIS APP IS A SCAM

LITERALLY EVERY SINGLE LISTING ON THIS APP IS FAKE I LOST $550 to this app because the landlords require a security deposit before you even meet. If you’re looking for a home and you’re desperate, than stay far tf away from this app, the room are too good to be true. DO NOT DOWNLOAD THIS APP, YOU WILL GET SCAMMED

404 Error

Something has been terribly wrong with Roomi. I used to use this app to find roommates - but now I cannot even get into the app, for it only give me a 404 Wrror page. It’s sad, because Roomi once gave me two tee shirts with their logo on it for free, and I still have them! What happened, guys???

Doesn’t work

First off, app gives a 404 page often and won’t let you click any buttons to navigate elsewhere. The location search feature doesn’t work at all, not in the app and not on the website. Results for Colorado USA show New York results.

Scam

Every listing on this app is a scam have filed a police complaint with the NYPD as well as the FCC.

Is this whole app a joke or a scam?

I posted a listing last week as I was urgently searching for a roomate, and contacted some potential candidates who seemed to be recently active. As I try to check responses the day after, I can’t access the website as they are “going trough some major update and offline for a few hours”. Fine. As I try to log in again after that, my password all of a sudden does not work, I try to the reset it and never receive the link (checked spam already, tried trough several browsers and app with the same bad result). Tried to contact customer support and messaging does not work.

I was about to pay for verification and so glad I didn’t, but this feels infuriating nonetheless.

The concept is good as there is such a need for a good platform to match good roomates and none of the existing ones are remotely viable.

Glitchiest app I’ve ever used

This app absolutely sucks. I’ve used it multiple times over the years and nothing ever gets better. Missed out on so many potential great roommates due to the issues. Haven’t received notifications or been able to reply in the past and most recently they did an update where you couldn’t access the app or website for a day and then when I logged back in it had made my account and listing in active (as well as all of the people I was talking to so now I can no longer chat with them). Embarrassingly bad!

Scam

There’s literally no way to cancel your membership. You have to delete your account.
It’s also filled with fake or old listings. I contact 10 people and no one responded. Also, support didn’t even respond to me

Scam

Full of scammers and the app itself is a scam too

BEWARE of Scammers!!!

Roomi feels unreliable, unsecured and unsafe. Nearly every listing I’ve reviewed checked and analyzed spending countless hours looking a for a room only to find it’s yet another scammer, it shows clear scam indicators, such as requests for off-platform contact or entire apartments priced far below market value. At least 8 out of 10 were scams. The number of red flags makes Roomi very hard to trust. I wouldn’t use this app be warned. Sad, because if they put effort in its security, it would actually be a good app.

Horrible app

Don’t use this, it takes your money and doesn’t let you send messages

SCAMMER ALERT

I got scammed out of $500 from this app. Not trustworthy. I might as well have gone to Craigslist

Zonas de bĂșsqueda

Deben mejorar el GPS y/o dejar que uno pueda poner la ciudad predeterminada en la que quiere publicar o revisar opciones. DADAROOM creo no era como Uds lo gestionan actualmente đŸ„ș

Buggy

Please fix the buggy app . I continually get a blank white screen while clicking on “my listing”

No sirve

La app simplemente no funciona. No te deja cambiar idioma, mo encuentro las secciones, parece que mi anuncio si aparece pero no recibo ningĂșn mensaje y no puedo ver lis otros anuncios.

Too buggy to work

It’s a great idea, but when listing my room, it does not allow me to type in the required part, never accepting my address. This is across the app and multiple browsers, so there’s no way for me to put up a listing. This happened after I paid, too


Roomi is Helpful

After Long months of waiting.. i got a nice 1bed apartment on this app, Good ones still exist.

Can’t make a listing

I have tried multiple computers, phones the app the website customer support won’t get back to me. I simply can’t enter an address to make my listing. What a waste of time.

Scams!

I was scammed 3/3 tries. Do not use this app! Each time, I was asked for money to continue on in the “process” without even seeing the place or FaceTiming at least. Roomi, you owe me $100 for a “refundable” application fee I asked to be returned after being asked for $700 before anything. They’ve gone silent after I asked for my $ back, but of course were hitting me up every day when I was “thinking about it” and hadn’t sent any more $$.

Google Maps API Broken

Can’t create new listings because the google maps API isn’t working. Looks like you guys need to update your billing account for Google cloud services. Would love to use the app but creating a listing is broken
.

Zero stars for zero support

They charged a fee for ID verification and for multiple emails, but it doesn’t work. Also unable to post a listing. Email to support is restricted to one then is blocked from contacting support. This feels rackety no communication back from their team for 2 weeks now. Highly recommend not using the service or app. I will be making a complaint to the App Store and DNB.
