The app is important
After downloading the app I’m getting enquiries again.
It seems like it’s a ‘must have’ for anyone advertising on Spareroom.
Without the app you need to check your emails and then goto the website and reply to any questions. Resulting in far fewer messages.
I was receiving 2 messages per week for 2 weeks but now I can respond instantly via the app it seems my ad has gotten traction.
After a couple of days my messages have picked up considerably and I’m doing viewings again.
Be good to be able to increase the text size so I can see it while driving.

There needs to be a block function
I have been being harassed by a creepy guy on here for months on end, and there is no way to block him. I have submitted a report and had nothing back. How for an app where you are looking for people to live with, is there NO block button?!
Best app ever
Best ever app for finding a place to live!
Very Useful
Looking for a room, flat or flatmates? This is your app, filter features and very responsive people. Always updated with new properties and accommodations ready for you to enquire and view! Good luck on your spare room journey!
Still doing what it says on the tin well!
It’s such a nice way to get hold of nice people wo problems
Spare room
Great app
.
Obviously I liked using it in the beginning but later on this app was forcing me to pay
Room let
Best app for room or property
Over priced and poor consumer practices
SpareRoom charges users to contact newer listings and states that these listings will become available to free users after seven days. However, I have found several listings that appeared to remain restricted for significantly longer, in some cases nearly two weeks.
I’m at a point now where I feel it’s worth submitting this to the competition and markets authority, as I think it’s an unfair practise. Look out for my post on the SpareRoom subreddit if you have anything to add 👍

Good app
Very helpful
Best place to find housemates
Been using this site for 15 years
Greedy
£30 for a month of better access is just greedy
Great app. Great company
Have been with SR nearly 20yrs and they have always been brilliant. Always there to help, and listen well. Generous with listings and provide a good calibre of applicants.
Home finder
Excellent 🙌
Bad Experiences
I was never successful in finding a room in spareroom. I encountered all sorts of dodgy actions from landlords- exclusivity and
racism among others from landlords. I had one viewing where I waited for 45 mins for the landlord to show up but they gave the room to someone else without informing me. Out of ten messages I sent, I received a reply to a couple only. I dod not know if they have a proper mechanism to filter the landlords.

TL;DR Good but could be better
Since it’s basically the only app for its purpose, I can’t complain too much. However, adding some features would make it more useful for a room searcher.
A) In the sharing with options, you could make the only females, males and mixed multicheck. Coz I feel like most people want both their own gender or mixed.
B) also on the sharing with page, you could add only students, professionals or both to make search more efficient.
C) could add a page to see all hidden ads. If you accidentally hide an ad that you like, there’s no going back rlly.
D) sometimes ads in £pm and £pw don’t list correctly in the sort - least/most expensive.
E) the upgrades have been spoken about already in other reviews. I just want to say that I think we should be allowed the option to message someone who’s shown interest coz we would only do if we didn’t have any more people messaging, quite rare.
F) this one’s more about the people than the platform but if we could see if someone read our description when they messaged, it would save a lot of back and forth.
Quite useful overall function though. Thanks if you read all that.

Price is unreasonable
As being said above, the price is very unreasonably high.
If it would be guaranteed you get room maybe but you pay money and then nobody replies to you.

Using the app
Easy to use. But think having to pay to use the app isn’t cost effective and are already searching to find somewhere to pay to live. But all in all good tool and cool you can search for roommate as well.
