Horrible

Another update after their lame “response” herewith:
No idea who they are thinking they helped.
NO ONE helped me or even came close to resolving my issue - after three very late responses on their part.
Who and how are they saying they helped??
Nothing was done.

I had to fully delete my listing AND the app before I could do anything. All of this on MY own.
Their “support” is worthless as well as their app.
It seems that most of the listings are fake.

Plus, their AI completely overwrote my description with a terribly worded, cheap AI text that had zero to do with what I needed to convey to apt seekers.
It was worded worse than a 3rd grader and inaccurate to boot.
Typical AI slop.

My previous entry:
I can’t edit even after multiple attempts to contact support and founders. It would seem this is a side hustle and we’re all testers.

As well, their fee take is way too much.

Not at all a good replacement for the other biggies.

Upd: on the other more reputable apps, I’ve never had such questionable people try to work a deal so heavily not in my favor.

A lot of cheap folks and ‘trying it’ is going on in this shoddy app.
If you cannot afford NYC, you should not be here.
Certainly, you should not ask for steep discounts at MY detriment.

Also, why are most of the women’s’ profile pix the kind you’d see on Snap, bumble or escort sites? It’s unsettling.

Response from developer

We’re sorry about this, we have received your bug report from the support channels and addressed it promptly. Please let us know if the issue is still occurring. The platform also supports with pricing listings in comparison to the market, if you believe suggestions are off, we would love to hear your further experience. Please reach us at hi@joinsnag.com.

Filters not great

They have filters for a room then 1 bedroom, 2 bedroom, etc. I’m looking for an entire apartment, but when I select 1 bedroom, it just gives me a private room in a 4 bd place. Then it shows me places in LA when I searched in NYC. I’m sure it’s good for roommates, but not great right now for subletting an entire place.

Response from developer

Thank you for the detailed feedback, this is really helpful. You’re right that the main intent was for rooms and roommates, but we want to deliver a great experience for all listings and renters on the platform. We’re actively improving in filtering the search experience, would love for you to try again, and share feedback with hi@joinsnag.com if anything still seems off.

Legitimacy issues

I think this app is not legit. Nobody is answering. Looks like the postings are fake.

Not worth buying

Service not worth it got scam by person renting place and I didn’t get my money back from snag beware

Response from developer

We’re truly sorry to hear about this experience. We have zero tolerance for fraudulent users and work hard to keep them off the platform. Did you book and pay through snag? That is the only way the platform can protect your rent. Please reach out to our support team at hi@joinsnag.com with the details of what happened so we can investigate and look into a resolution for you.

Can’t search

Anytime I try to search for a sublet, I get an error message popping down from the top. I’ve tried to find one in the NYC/Jersey city area and it just does not work. Can’t search anything.

Response from developer

Hey, really sorry about that! We found the bug that was breaking search and it's been fixed now. If you update the app, your NYC/Jersey City search should work just fine. Let us know if you hit any other snags!

Once I get past the paywall it won’t let me search

The app made me pay 50 bucks before I can message anyone and once I paid it it won’t let me use the search function to look at sublets….

Response from developer

Ugh, we totally understand how annoying that must have been, paying and then not being able to search is the worst. That was a bug on our end, and we've gotten it fixed. Go ahead and update the app and you should be good to go. If it's still giving you trouble, reach out to our support team (hi@joinsnag.com) and we'll get you sorted!

App for everyone who's looking for a place in new York city!

Incredible app that puts together all sublet available in the city and posted by New Yorkers

Scammer

Absolutely scammer! Avoid using

Doesn’t work

Trying to verify my account and it keeps glitching

Amazing app- highly recommend

AMAZING APP, it changed my life. Everyone should download it on there phone!

100% Recommend!!

Snag is a very easy and straightforward app to use that also provides a layer of trust when it comes to subletting. It’s nice to have a contract option when renting a room to a stranger. It made both me and the person subletting from me in NYC feel more comfortable! 100% recommend this app!

Bugs bugs bugs

Technical issues verifying ID - very bad app

good but needs improvements

could just be i haven’t figured it out yet but i would love to find someone looking to sublet permanently/take over their lease rather than months at a time only. also, couldn’t find anywhere to specify pet friendly. otherwise looks to be promising!

Scam galore

Way too many scammers on the app…need a better way to get verified landlords on here.

Account Hacked !!!

someone hacked my account, posted a fake listing, and messaged hundreds of people. Now I’m locked out and can’t gain access to the app despite receiving a verification code to my phone number. I had matched with people previously and found potential leads but this is ridiculous because my information and identity was compromised!

5 Star

Smart, simple, and actually trustworthy. Snag makes finding a sublet fast and easy - no scams, no stress.

100% recommended to find unique sublets

Created my profile in minutes, searched sublets I had no idea existed in my neighborhood, and with custom availabilities perfectly matching my urgency to find a place

We've fixed the sign-in issues since then, so updating to the latest version should get you right in. Let us know if you run into anything else!

Works great

Awesome for finding sublets

Sublet scams - Be careful

This app is full of sublet scams from scammers. Beware and be careful. Never give your deposit before seeing a place and never pay no more than $25 for an application form. Scammers will show you video tours and FaceTime tours and such and it will still be a scam. Any sublet should be investigated and you should be seeking out building management to see if the sublet is legit for any prospective living arrangement.
