### 1/5 — No longer works in WA State

*2022-10-02, version 5.904.210923*

App has become useless in WA state , sad!

### 1/5 — Stopped working in Washington

*2022-09-30, version 5.904.210923*

We used this all the time and suddenly stopped working for Washington State. So disappointed.

### 1/5 — just for MN and WA

*2022-09-08, version 5.904.210923*

isnt set up for any other States

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2022-08-21, version 5.904.210923*

Location keeps telling me it only works in the US, and when I click to center the location, it takes me to Minneapolis.  I’m in SF.

### 1/5 — Not worth it even for free

*2022-04-28, version 5.904.210923*

Downloaded it and it won’t do any other city but Minneapolis. So it’s not worth having it even though it’s free. They should be paying us to even look at it.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work anywhere else

*2022-04-27, version 5.904.210923*

Only Minnesota listings

### 1/5 — Horrible search

*2022-02-26, version 5.904.210923*

This home search could not find homes in local zip codes nor by cities. Waste of time!

### 3/5 — HOAs=bad!

*2022-01-20, version 5.904.210923*

No option to filter out homes with a HOA!

### 1/5 — Terrible APP!!

*2020-03-05, version 5.903.200226*

Impossible to use on my iPhone!! It’s ok on the PC... but NOT on the phone, which is highly inconvenient!!

### 2/5 — I used to like it

*2020-01-29, version 5.803.170524*

The app no longer recognizes any addresses I try and put in for commute times to work or other locations, like my to my parent’s home.

### 2/5 — Not a good app!

*2019-04-18, version 5.803.170524*

I don’t even know what to say here this app makes absolutely no sense to me. It is the most non-user-friendly app I have ever put on my phone. Where is the simple magnifying glass to search? Can’t even type in an address? I don’t even understand what this app is supposed to do it is nothing like the MLS online. How this got developed and actually made it to be an app is beyond me. So many things need to be fixed it’s not even worth typing about. I simply won’t use it and would never recommend it to anybody. Sorry but that is the truth.

### 1/5 — Can’t search specifics

*2019-04-05, version 5.803.170524*

Can’t search level of homes! can’t search counties!

### 1/5 — Existing searches don’t show up in the app.

*2019-02-01, version 5.803.170524*

It knows who I am when I login but my saved searches I created on my laptop don’t show up. Useless for me.

### 1/5 — Terrible Application

*2019-01-04, version 5.803.170524*

It doesn’t find open listings or allow a reset. Awful do not download.

### 1/5 — Can’t search

*2018-08-01, version 5.803.170524*

No option to type in a specific search term...or MLS number??? In fact, there’s no search available at all (unless it’s hidden somewhere, but I believe I checked every link in the app.). Not sure if they mean “browse” when they say “search, but the description above says that you can search by City or zip code...but not by MLS number?  Is t this the MLS Online app?  Illogical. Downloading and setting up an account was a huge waste of time. Going back to the website.

### 1/5 — Not ideal for iPhone X.

*2018-05-05, version 5.803.170524*

The major gripe I have is that I can’t see the home images clicking on the map view. Very disappointing. And it’s not straightforward to close out of the app since on iPhone X it puts it on landscape mode when it looks like you are in portrait mode.

### 1/5 — No search results

*2018-01-10, version 5.803.170524*

I entered very wide perameters to search in minneapolis. I get "no results". I watched a YouTube video to see if I was doing something wrong. It showed the user having buttons on the lower right panel that I don't even have. So I can find NO homes.

### 1/5 — I did not do anything, why it shows CN ¥for any estimate price?

*2017-12-10, version 5.803.170524*

The rest is ok.

### 1/5 — Junk

*2026-06-05, version 5.904.210923*

Where do I start? Oh wait! I can’t. There’s NOTHING to view on the app. Doesn’t even show one single home for sale. Doesn’t work in the state of Oregon I guess.

### 1/5 — Updated app no longer works in WA

*2024-12-29, version 5.904.210923*

I found this site a long time ago before it was an app.  I could use certain search parameters that I could not use elsewhere.   I decided to look again and it completely non functional.  Too bad.  Delete!

### 1/5 — Not detecting or showing area selected

*2024-11-25, version 5.904.210923*

I’ve tried closing and opening the app several times, including typing my zip code and selecting the current location button. Though it shows where I am, it keeps listing homes out of state, not where it should be.

### 1/5 — Ok but NO way to remove my info from your spam lists

*2024-11-08, version 5.904.210923*

Whatever you do do not put your name email and phone number into this app anywhere you will get flooded with spam calls and texts. This is especially annoying if you already have a realtor or you are just casually browsing to see what is out there and not serious about selling or buying.

### 1/5 — Lost all saved properties

*2024-09-21, version 5.904.210923*

After months of curating properties, my saved list just disappeared. So frustrating and disappointing.

### 1/5 — Location Services Broken

*2024-01-14, version 5.904.210923*

App search didn’t recognize San Francisco, CA

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work at all

*2023-11-25, version 5.904.210923*

I added filters around my area, kept playing around with it and I keep getting 0 results. Doesn’t seem to work for some reason.

### 1/5 — Limited search range

*2023-04-25, version 5.904.210923*

The app discloses that it’s able to find homes within the US however none of the cities in my region in South Texas aren’t even listed.

### 1/5 — Crashing

*2023-01-10, version 5.904.210923*

Once I use the filters, all the listings disappear. I reset search and still get nothing. I tried removing the app and redownloading but it still does it

### 1/5 — WA no longer works

*2022-11-17, version 5.904.210923*

This was my favorite app for finding homes and property (ended up buying property because I found first using this app) in WA state, but a few months ago, it stopped working. Tried deleting and reloading, but it still won’t show any homes or properties. The map itself works, and I can try to enter search info, but no results will pop up for WA state. Wish the developers would restore this app to its former glory. Nothing else I’ve tried even comes close.

## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated)

### 5/5 — App & website is the best

*2023-08-14, version 5.904.210923*

Both app & website are user friendly

### 5/5 — Love the scan for houses in area function!

*2021-07-30, version 5.904.210715*

Very cool home search app! Easy to use and can save favorites.

### 5/5 — App

*2017-05-21, version 5.702.161013*

Best app, user friendly and shows more houses than the competitors in my area!

### 5/5 — Great app!

*2016-01-05, version 4.0*

Very easy to use and just works. Nothing bad to say because it's a nice app.

### 5/5 — Fast and Useful

*2015-12-28, version 4.0*

There are lots of apps that I use to search for homes for sale - but this one is my favorite! It is fast, clean and just works! Please don't ever change it...

### 5/5 — despite the bugs, LOVE THIS APP!!!

*2014-12-10, version 3.2*

It occasionally freezes on you and there are some glitches… But this is the best app ever. If you like this version on the website you won't like the app as well.

### 5/5 — I used this app to find my dream home

*2012-11-29, version 2.5*

I love this app. It occasionally has its quirks but it works great 98% of the time. I think people who give it 1 star because it crashed on them once are morons. This app does exactly what it's supposed to do!

### 5/5 — Best mls ever

*2012-07-15, version 2.5*

This app is super easy to use and only thing that would make it better is is it had the crime maps from trulia and the walk ability map more accessible.

### 5/5 — Accurate Data

*2012-05-02, version 2.5*

This is the ONLY app that consistently has accurate data for the Minneapolis market - Zillow and Trulia just fall short in this regard. Great app!

### 5/5 — Best tool for scoping out houses

*2012-02-07, version 2.5*

This is the best house search tool I've found for the iPad? Love that I can filter criteria on the fly rather than starting a separate search over and over. Thanks!
