### 3/5 — Lease creation bug

*2026-07-29, version 8.8.6*

The portion of the app similar to docusign does not work

### 2/5 — Seems like it was written by an intern

*2026-07-23, version 8.8.6*

This app (and the site) has the most basic functionality is not flexible at all. Seems like it was an afterthought from Zillow. Why did cancelling my month-to-month payment cancel all payments? If you’re going to hold my tenants money in your bank for a week, stealing the interest I could gain, you had better give me a better service. Also why can the only e-signatures allowed be the lease? I have other documents I need them to sign outside the lease. Finally, the lease edits get completely removed every time I have to modify a document and I have to start over again. So frustrating.

### 2/5 — Can’t report Phishing

*2026-07-07, version 8.8.4*

All of the requests I have had so far are phishing and there is no way in messages to report. I posted it today and got 6 messages or so. The help center has no results for phishing, or scam, or fraud. A Google search results in a Zillow link that results in an error message. As an example there was an immediate message and link from “Z I L L O W” and “ZILL OW” sending me to a tiny.url  telling me my posting was flagged and disabled. Would be great to not get these messages or to be able to flag them. Making it impossible to do so is an obvious sign they don’t care about their users.

### 3/5 — Was Great

*2026-06-12, version 8.8.3*

It is a great app for doing it yourself landlord. It is very disappointing that the stopped the lease builder. I wish they just charged for it instead. Now that is a big gap.

### 4/5 — Four and half stars

*2026-05-25, version 8.7.14*

It works great when I am in the US. I travel out of the country frequently, when I’m out of the country I am unable to access the system or manage my properties.

### 2/5 — Frustrating

*2026-05-22, version 8.7.14*

The user experience needs work. I don’t have any fees but the listing still shows “Fees may apply”. How do I display “Total Monthly Price”? It’s a mystery.

### 5/5 — Best rental app for landlords

*2026-05-16, version 8.7.14*

Zillow makes its app user-friendly and very easy to navigate. I mainly use the Zillow rental App to find and screen tenants. Although the applications have too many self-reported sections in which some tenants input false data. It does bring many quality tenants. 
The only thing I wish they had was an option to decline an appointment for a no-show or “other.”

### 5/5 — Great for vetting apps and landlords

*2026-05-15, version 8.7.14*

This is one of the best I’ve seen and not out to make a fortune off small businesses like us!  They do all the leg work and free unless you want a monthly and I got more leads in 24 hours than cl, fb or the other sites I’ve tried!! A++

### 2/5 — Glitchy

*2026-05-09, version 8.7.11*

This app needs to be better for me to rely on it for business. Two people have submitted an application and every time I click on the second one it takes me to the first one. I can’t get into both of them even though I click on the exact application I want to view. There’s some connectivity problems between the app and the web version. The rent is wrong. If I had multiple properties, I would be using a different service.

### 1/5 — Paid for a Premium listing but the only way to find the rental is by typing in the exact address

*2026-05-03, version 8.7.11*

No customer service option. No live chat or chat bot.

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Terrible experience

*2026-08-25, version 8.9.0*

Not impressed. Can’t simply add a property if it was recently developed.

### 1/5 — Never improves

*2026-08-01, version 8.8.6*

Using the messaging feature in this app is terrible.

### 1/5 — Where’s lease builder?

*2026-07-06, version 8.8.4*

Used to be awesome - now that I can’t build a lease it’s not so awesome. What happened to the feature?

### 1/5 — Worthless

*2026-07-05, version 8.8.4*

Deceptive

### 1/5 — Horrible experience

*2026-07-04, version 8.8.4*

Wouldn’t let me even post properties instantly disables multiple accounts

### 1/5 — Been trying to list my rental

*2026-07-01, version 8.8.3*

Been trying to list my rental for over a hour no luck with this web site there must be a easy way

### 1/5 — Payment function is broken

*2026-06-30, version 8.8.3*

Have not been able to collect payments for months. Support is non-responsive.

### 1/5 — Scam after Scam after Scam

*2026-06-22, version 8.8.3*

Worse than Craigslist and Facebook combined. Users are requesting you verify your the owner of your own properties. Receiving messages from user names like ZILL 0W it’s a complete waste of time. Users who seem like they might be legit schedule showings and never show up. Property owners have no way to review renters to warn others you’ll be wasting your time. Not worth the effort sadly.

### 1/5 — Stay informed popups

*2026-06-01, version 8.8.2*

Stay informed popups

Stay informed popups

### 1/5 — No notifications for messages

*2026-05-12, version 8.7.14*

App is functional except for the most basic feature, and that is notifications when you get messages.  This feature is simply not there, but you’d think it should be.  A lot of lost leads because the lack of thought that went into developing this app.

## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated)

### 5/5 — Owner

*2026-09-01, version 8.9.1*

This is Very Helpful; it gets the advertisement of property to many people.
I love it

### 5/5 — IMPRESSED

*2026-07-30, version 8.8.6*

This app is so easy to use. It’s my first time being a landlord and Zillow really made it so easy for me to create a listing. I enjoy the partnership with experian to handle the background & credit check. I will definitely be using their monthly payment service as well

### 5/5 — Owner home for rent

*2026-07-19, version 8.8.5*

Truly easier and cheaper than an agent

### 5/5 — An issue with the app

*2026-07-07, version 8.8.4*

I love your app and how much exposure you gave us but there an issue with navigating the app and how slow, difficult or sometimes impossible to do editing and see it on the linked sites like Hot pat and Rental… wish you all the best

### 5/5 — Love their Rental Manager

*2026-07-02, version 8.8.4*

I have a small family operation and I have been using this service for several years now. It is free to use for both Tenant and landlord, and we can make state specific leases as well as collect payments. The tenant can also opt to get credit reporting. I love the reminders. It sends everyone when the tenant is late on rent. Their fee of $35 for the tenants to submit an application is also very reasonable and people like that.

### 5/5 — Fantastic Experience

*2026-06-30, version 8.8.3*

I always have better experiences on Zillow in-compare to any other listing site

### 5/5 — Awesome rental app.

*2026-06-27, version 8.8.3*

This app is absolutely amazing and a great way to start your landlord / property management career.  The only thing I would change is the ability to revise the application fee and able to receive a portion.  Other than that, it's a great way to keep records of messages, rental agreements, taking payments, and any revisions and or maintenance records

### 5/5 — Great job

*2026-06-26, version 8.8.3*

It's really much better than I thought.

### 5/5 — Zillow

*2026-06-18, version 8.8.3*

Zillow has made renting and managing my apartments very seem less so far. Great resource.

### 5/5 — Easy to use

*2026-05-30, version 8.8.2*

Easy to use! Took no time at all to list my rental.
