### 4/5 — Stop adding text before copied links

*2026-08-19, version 15.13.0*

Great app and great service. I like being able to look at Street View right from within the listing, which is better than the desktop version.

I would really appreciate it if, every time I copy a link, pasting it doesn’t also include the text “Check out this new home I found on StreetEasy.” I’m already using the service and I’m having my friends use it as well by sending them a link — no need for further advertising.

### 2/5 — It’s time for change on Street Easy

*2026-08-14, version 15.12.1*

Somehow SE has become the cartel of Rental Properties in NYC. Most of your time on the site and the app become dead ends because of how much AI staging there is. There should be some tighter qualifications for listings such as:
1) Room dimensions should be mandatory
2) What floor the unit is on should be mandatory
3) A video of the space should mandatory 
4) Agents and Property Managers should have to respond or should get a rating of their own. 
5) Why not have your information to apply uploaded so you can do it right on the app? 
6) Lastly, the saved search section sucks. You should be able to organize it by neighborhood, favorites as in 1-10 from best to worst. It’s just not user friendly. The app and site design is lazy. 

Don’t know what else to say. Godspeed to all who use Street Easy

### 2/5 — Routinely can’t click a listing in map view

*2026-08-13, version 15.12.1*

The app breaks in map view and apts aren’t clickable

### 4/5 — Searching affordable 1 bedroom!

*2026-08-11, version 15.12.0*

Nothing outside of Harlem in Manhattan?

### 2/5 — Too many glitches

*2026-08-04, version 15.11.0*

This is a crucial app to rent in NY. However, it has so many glitches with no fixes. 

First of all, after you tap on a few places, the app will freeze and not let you tap into anymore listings. You’d have to quit the app and restart your search again. This happens after you tap on ~1-5 listings. Then after a while, the app will think you’re a robot and prompt you to hold on a button. 

I’ve emailed customer service and their advice is to restart the app, which does nothing to get rid of the issues because it will just crash again. Perhaps the website is better than the app itself because the app is hardly usable

### 2/5 — Buggy

*2026-07-27, version 15.9.1*

I have to close the app constantly bc I can’t open the details of a listing. Happening all the time

### 3/5 — pop up is annoying

*2026-07-15, version 15.8.0*

the pop up about fees takes up a huge amount of the page and really affects usability. it should be less obtrusive or dismissible

### 4/5 — Copy and paste

*2026-07-11, version 15.7.0*

It doesn’t allow you to copy the address to search for it directly in maps, nor does tapping the address give you the option to open or search for it on the map; instead, the apartment link just opens over and over again.

### 3/5 — Google sso broken

*2026-07-03, version 15.6.0*

Title

### 1/5 — Horrible

*2026-07-03, version 15.6.0*

Can’t find the apartments I saved

### 2/5 — Unfortunately

*2026-06-14, version 15.3.1*

Nobody gets back to me when requesting a tour. Bogus

### 1/5 — Can’t log in

*2026-06-01, version 15.2.0*

Your app is broken. Try to log in on iPhone with google, google forces me to open their code screen, click the stupid number, go back and makes me do it all over again.

How bad are you at your jobs that you can’t even handle a log in screen???

### 1/5 — AI Slop City

*2026-05-31, version 15.2.0*

While the actual app is great (for the most part), almost every listing I’ve seen since the popularization of AI image gen technology has been doctored to the point where you’re not evening seeing the real apartment. Adding furniture, changing the amount of natural light, altering room layouts and numbers of windows, increasing square footage, the list goes on. Street easy please ban images that have been edited with AI it makes it impossible to know what a unit actually looks like. Of course the pond scum that are real-estate agents would edit photos and not even check if they added an extra window. 

Zero stars.

### 1/5 — Terrible app

*2026-05-30, version 15.2.0*

No one ever gets Back to me. I only get one email to send my information regarding salary credit score etc
And once I do that I never ever
Get a reply

### 4/5 — Provide Floor Plan..??

*2026-05-29, version 15.2.0*

Provide “Floor Plan “ (?)

### 1/5 — UI changes suck

*2026-05-29, version 15.2.0*

Why is everything weirdly sized and randomly bolded? If you want to support accessibility then make it toggle-able

### 1/5 — Stop logging me out of my agent profile

*2026-08-30, version 15.14.0*

I’m constantly getting logged out of my agent profile. I’m checking the “remember this device for 30 days option” and it is not remembering me. This happens every day. Dysfunctional. Same thing happens on computer. I want to throw my phone out the window.

### 1/5 — Rent

*2026-08-27, version 15.14.0*

Every landlord is asking for money first before viewing the property

### 1/5 — Buggy

*2026-08-26, version 15.14.0*

Fix the bugs where you cannot open a listing detail view from the map view. Forces me to restart the app.

### 1/5 — Always crashing

*2026-08-20, version 15.13.0*

Always crashes and I have to go in and out of the app to click on listings

### 1/5 — many bugs

*2026-08-13, version 15.12.1*

this app is so buggy is so many ways, clicking on listings just randomly stops working and I have to constantly exit and re-enter the app. they also do nothing about fraudulent listings

### 1/5 — App does not open

*2026-08-12, version 15.12.1*

This app is faulty and does not open. Do not use this company. They clearly do not know what they are doing.

### 1/5 — Street Easy charges 799 to spotlight

*2026-08-05, version 15.11.0*

This means if I don’t pay $799 a month for my own listing that I own and I’m a broker on it will go to other brokers who aren’t the listing broker to Buyers and they were. Buyers won’t be able to find me.

### 1/5 — Freezes after browsing for 5-10 minutes

*2026-08-04, version 15.11.0*

Every! Single!! Time!!!

### 1/5 — It’s time for change on Street Easy

*2026-08-04, version 15.11.0*

Somehow SE has become the cartel of Rental Properties in NYC. Most of your time on the site and the app becomes the equivalent of Doom Scrolling on Instagram. There should be some tighter qualifications for listings such as:
1) Room dimensions should be mandatory
2) What floor the unit is on should be mandatory
3) A video of the space should mandatory 

Lastly, the saved search section sucks. You should be able to organize it by neighborhood, favorites as in 1-10 from best to worst. It’s just not user friendly. The app and site design is lazy. 

Don’t know what else to say. Godspeed to all who use Street Easy

### 1/5 — Actually so bad

*2026-07-29, version 15.10.0*

This app is one of the best to search for apartment rentals.  It is easy to filter your search and has a wide variety of listings to choose from.
