I recommend any other app, like really, you can’t even message a single person before use. I’m angry that I wasted my time even checking this out. ### 1/5 — HORRIBLE. *2025-03-12, version 1.0.11* don’t waste ur time, you have to pay for EVERYTHING. even just to message ONE person u have to pay. ### 1/5 — Have to Pay *2025-02-14, version 1.0.11* Can’t do anything without paying ### 1/5 — Horrible. *2025-01-17, version 1.0.11* Would give 0 if I could. Have to pay to see matches and pay to MESSAGE them. The whole point of the app. This shouldn’t even be available to download. ### 1/5 — Literally have to pay to do anything *2025-01-08, version 1.0.11* Not worth it ### 1/5 — Awful *2025-01-05, version 1.0.11* You have to pay to see a potential roommates social media, and you also can’t even message your potential roommate without paying?? This app is not at all helpful for finding a room mate. It should be deleted and the creator should be ashamed. I wouldn’t mind as much if it were only asking like $3.00 per month for a membership, but it asks for $29! To simply.. message a potential room mate?? Scam of the year, honestly impressed by the utter audacity. ### 1/5 — stupid *2025-01-03, version 1.0.11* the fact you have to pay to find a roommate is ridiculous ### 1/5 — Forces you to pay 25 dollars *2024-11-01, version 1.0.11* Cant look for different roommates or if you switch colleges you have to pay 25 dollars to look for a new roommate… ### 1/5 — You have to pay to message people *2024-06-08, version 1.0.11* Literally don’t get this app unless you like giving out money for no reason. It makes you take a quiz then makes you pay $30 a month to message the people you might’ve matched with. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2024-04-15, version 1.0.11* Don’t buy the subscription no one uses this app. I bought it and never received a message for an entire month. Never happened on other apps ### 1/5 — dumb *2024-03-24, version 1.0.11* it’s ridiculously expensive to pay 29$ a month to see roommate options. ### 1/5 — So expensive *2024-02-07, version 1.0.9* 30$ a month to MAYBE find a roommate is CRAZY ### 1/5 — Misleading *2023-08-02, version 1.0.8* All the people on the app are looking for housing too. Paid $29 just to see a list of like 6 people who are all also looking for housing ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — don’t even waste your time & data *2026-08-02, version 1.0.11* the only thing you can do is create a profile . can’t browse potential roommates , can’t message anyone .. an empty and pointless app . you have to pay for every other feature ### 1/5 — Pay Grab *2026-07-21, version 1.0.11* Why am I paying to see roomates and paying also just to message them? 29 a month? INSANE ### 1/5 — App sucks *2026-07-13, version 1.0.11* Everything is blocked behind a paywall ### 1/5 — Pricey *2026-06-20, version 1.0.11* Honestly, don’t even try to download it. It makes you pay about $30 just to reply to people and that’s monthly. ### 1/5 — Bad app *2026-05-05, version 1.0.11* App is free but you have to pay ### 1/5 — Scam *2026-04-15, version 1.0.11* Paid app through and through. COLLEGE STUDENTS DONT HAVE MONEY !!! ### 1/5 — bad *2026-04-07, version 1.0.11* make it free bruh🤦 ### 1/5 — Awful *2026-04-03, version 1.0.11* Have to pay to basically do anything. Do not download. ### 1/5 — Worthless *2025-11-10, version 1.0.11* Don’t waste your storage space literally everything costs money every good review is a lying fake. Can’t message, can’t view profile, can’t even match without buying a subscription. You can view their pfp and report that’s it. ### 1/5 — You literally can’t do anything. *2025-06-05, version 1.0.11* You can’t even message potential roommates without a $30 subscription. You can’t see their bios or social media either. Setting up a profile was a waste of time. ## Most praised reviews (8 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Found my college roommate *2024-12-11, version 1.0.11* Definitely had the most comprehensive list of college students on it and I found an awesome college roommate, thanks Roomsurf! ### 5/5 — Finding my roommate. *2023-06-21, version 1.0.5* Using roomsurf I found the perfect roommate who truly matched my personality.
