### 2/5 — Needs updating

*2022-09-16*

Constantly get “bad response from server” when searching

### 2/5 — No way to filter out Active With Offer

*2022-06-01*

Extremely inconvenient to not be able to filter out homes with accepted offers.  Would save a massive amount of time to be able to filter out ActiveWO properties, since most of us are not wasting time on properties with accepted offers.

### 2/5 — App won’t filter

*2022-03-27*

I like looking at houses for sale not sure why the filter would even offer sold and active.  But now it doesn’t filter at all.  It always shows solds.   Who cares about houses that are sold.  People looking to move want to see houses available. Please fix it

### 2/5 — Something not right

*2022-03-27*

I’m the last few days this site keeps showing sold homes along with the few actives. Yes I did select actives only and even deleted app and added again to see if that would reset it. I sure hope this is fixed soon!

### 2/5 — Very inconsistent

*2021-09-25*

It was my favorite real estate app. Now, some days it works great, most days saved searches won’t load on the map if you hit “Run Search”. It is 100% the app. Other apps I’ve had to add work ok.

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2020-04-06, version 6.8.3*

Both website and app are awful. Worst in the industry. Can’t do a single, simple thing.

### 1/5 — Unreliable

*2019-12-08, version 6.8.0*

When clicking on a property Errors occur frequently.   When it does work the prices of the homes do not appear.  You have to click on the property to see the price.  Zillow and realtor.com are much better apps.

### 2/5 — Meh

*2019-10-26, version 6.7.13*

There needs to be an option to view only active listings. Only shows active with offers pending.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2019-05-10, version 6.7.5*

Ridiculous app that never works

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work half the time

*2019-04-13*

This app constantly gives error messages related to not being connected to Internet when I am! 
Very frustrating! 
It’s great when it does work

### 2/5 — Filter options?

*2019-03-23, version 6.6.1*

Maybe I'm missing it but not being able to filter out active with offer is not that cool.

### 1/5 — App doesn’t work

*2018-10-26, version 6.6.1*

Just updated the app, I can view properties on the map and in a list but when I select one I receive an error.

### 2/5 — Really needs update for iPhone X

*2018-03-04*

Like the app, quite a bit actually, but on my iPhone X if I open the map location I can’t close out of the map because the done button is hidden behind the battery and signal icons on the screen. I have to close the app and start over!

### 2/5 — Needs iPhone X update

*2018-02-09*

When you do a search and click on a property if you scroll down  and open up the map you can do all the satellite features and everything but because the iPhone X has the upper right corner controls you can’t click the done button because it just access the controls. You have to exit the app and start over.

### 1/5 — ❄️Frozen

*2017-11-22*

Usually freezes up and doesn’t open, stops working leading to much annoyance. The website is better in some ways but that doesn’t list DOM, another annoyance. Basic stuff on app, website, and in emails should all match. Just a tip.

### 1/5 — Don't download

*2017-07-09, version 6.2.5*

No longer works. Only loads your location and that's it. Doesn't show houses or anything.

### 1/5 — Don't waste your time

*2017-05-27*

This app used to function but it no longer does. Type in the mls/pin number and it doesn't generate a thing.  Map shows absolutely no homes for sale.  Use the Zillow app, it's infinitely better than this cr(app). One star because zero stars isn't an option.

### 1/5 — Constantly downloading

*2026-05-06*

This app is GREAT when it works but unfortunately I find myself stuck in the “death load” every time I try to open it on my iPhone; I have to delete the app and redownload it in order to get it to open. PLEASE GET THIS FIXED. Worth the hassle I guess but it is definitely a pain and seems like I’m not the only one experience the issue…

### 1/5 — So bad

*2025-10-07, version 7.3.0*

New app is unusable

### 1/5 — Not able to filter out ActiveWO

*2025-09-11*

Just updated this after years of using the old version. How come the Active With Offer properties still show up green? The old version they would grey out a bit so you’d know. At least let me filter in my search. Also, if you don’t have your location settings, turned on you get an error message all the time.

### 1/5 — This app crashes

*2025-07-27*

The app worked great for me but sometime in the past few weeks it upgraded. Now it closes randomly while looking at things. It also scrolls through the photos which I don’t like. I’d like to choose my own speed for looking at photos.

### 1/5 — It just keeps getting worse.

*2025-07-25*

The font changes have made this app unusable. It was a nice app several years ago, but the changes have made it hard to read, hard to compare and in my opinion time to look for a better app.

### 1/5 — App keeps logging me out

*2023-02-02*

Why does the app continue to log me out when I close the app? I have to log back in every time I want to save something. This didn’t use to happen. Frustrating. PLEASE fix it soon.

### 1/5 — Filters not working

*2022-03-30, version 7.1.5*

Latest updatrnof the app is terrible.

### 1/5 — Filters not working

*2022-03-28, version 7.1.3*

Filters are not working at all, please fix, this happened with a recent update.

### 1/5 — New version

*2022-03-27*

Updated app 2 days ago and now you can’t filter out sold properties. Does not matter not matter if you have active or sold selected it always shows both. Please fix asap

### 1/5 — Was good. Now it’s not

*2022-03-26, version 7.1.3*

The app WAS good. Now it blows. Even if I select to see active listings, it still shows the thousands of sold listings… app needs to be fixed.

### 5/5 — Better than other apps on the market

*2020-08-06*

Although it’s not perfect, it’s able to distinguish between active and active with offer. This is HUGE when searching for a home, and other major apps will not do this for some reason. Best realtor app on the market in my opinion.

### 5/5 — Favorites & Property Details

*2016-02-26, version 6.0.14*

Regarding multiple properties at the same address, simply swipe left or right from the property detail screen (perhaps below the price) and you will see additional listings at that location.

### 5/5 — Cool

*2013-01-14, version 4.12*

I love this app it is the best

### 5/5 — Great app!

*2012-12-10, version 4.12*

I actually found my house using this app! After buying my houseI still use it often. I love that you can also view sold properties as well.

### 5/5 — Awesome real estate search app

*2011-05-07, version 3.35*

Great mapping feature, fast loading photos and information!

### 5/5 — Awesome App!

*2010-03-10, version 0*

This is by far the best app for searching for a new home in S.E. Wisconsin!!!  The mapping feature is awesome!  Leave it to Shorewest to introduce such a great app for our local market!

### 5/5 — Shorewest Realtor

*2009-09-23, version 0*

Love my iPhone and boy do I love the iLocate app. It is so easy to use and my Cllients comment all the time about how wonderful it is to instantly have accurate, current information to help them narrow down the list of homes they think they might be interested in. Combine iLocate with the Compass and GPS and Realtors have a wonderful new tool to help them help their Clients. One more example of Shorewest's leadership in technology to help our Clients.

### 4/5 — Improved

*2011-10-15, version 3.36*

Used to crash constantly but has been fixed.  The map search is extremely useful, just wish it showed new listings and open houses like the web version.

### 3/5 — Needs Work

*2021-04-04*

This app would benefit from being able to zoom in on photos and especially being able to sort out ActiveWO properties so as to not waste the users time.

### 3/5 — Best but needs tweaks

*2018-11-17*

I use this in an iPad more than phone, and it is more useful than any other. 

That said, a filter for active with offer or multi story versus ranch and a few other common criteria would make it far better for us.
