### 2/5 — Not the same app

*2022-10-11, version 9.2.71*

I don’t know what has happened but ZipRealty used to be the best public mls system to search for homes all over. Now the site doesn’t work as easily nor shows all the homes on the market.

### 3/5 — Zip No complain!

*2021-07-08, version 9.2.64*

This app is horrible. Unpredictable 
They just want your information that’s all I see here. 
My God bad bad bad…

### 2/5 — Loved on iPad, but not on iPhone

*2019-12-09, version 9.2.3*

I loved this app my iPad but on my iPhone, it stinks. I could barley read where to put my name and password the letters were so light. In the app, I could barely read the info on the properties as the letters were dark grey on light grey back ground. I’m deleting it.

### 2/5 — New version is horrible

*2019-11-08, version 9.2.1*

The app used to be easy to use and fun to check out areas. It now forces you to jump through hoops and filters and menus ... no thanks.

### 3/5 — Has some recent quirks

*2019-10-15, version 9.2.1*

I love browsing homes and have really enjoyed the time I’ve spent using this app. However now you have to zoom to get homes to load, and when it does load, it loads slowly. This past weekend I went to an open house (that I found through this app) now today I don’t see the listing as well as some other homes that I saw listed on the app last night. It could be the app is struggling with the recent iOS so hopefully the next ZipRealty update will resolve these annoying quirks.

### 1/5 — Can’t Use

*2019-08-07, version 9.1.10*

Typed in some zip codes and says not servicing this area 😡Used to be good. Now deleting this app.

### 1/5 — Terrible App with many bugs

*2019-06-25, version 9.1.10*

Many bugs.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work well

*2019-05-23, version 9.1.9*

When I first downloaded it, it was easy to use, I was able to look around, now most of the time the app doesn’t work 7 out of ten times it doesn’t show anything. Frankly I’m getting frustrated with the app.

### 1/5 — Update gives duplicates

*2019-05-18, version 9.1.9*

Latest update lists properties twice or thrice!

Yes, I said thrice. 

Don’t you guys test the update before releasing?

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2019-05-14, version 9.1.9*

Lately the app is not working the same, you get the same listing show up 3 times. When you search in a certain area you get a message “sorry we don’t currently service this area”

### 1/5 — Bad site

*2019-04-06, version 9.1.7*

This is a hard site to define specific areas to search, for example a certain neighborhood.  Also, hard to delete old saved searches, they just keep accumulating for your account.  Hard to reset search parameters without setting up a new search, that then can’t be deleted.  Not sure how to turn off email notices.  Just plain clunky and feels very old and non-user friendly.

### 1/5 — App has Issues

*2019-03-28, version 9.1.7*

The filters and map feature doesn’t work.  Properties are showing up in the wrong location on the map! Aah!!! Please send out an update soon!

### 1/5 — Map functionality issues on new iOS

*2019-03-07, version 9.1.5*

Sometimes the map works sometimes it doesn’t. Zooming in/out seems to break function. Worthless app.

### 2/5 — Search

*2019-03-06, version 9.1.5*

It seems impossible to start from a map to select area

### 4/5 — Priced Out App - name change

*2019-02-11, version 9.1.2*

I put in the search for Bay Area under $700k and it crashed... I felt like it was telling me something or laughing at me in a way..

### 1/5 — Seriously?!

*2018-11-22, version 8.9.5*

It doesn’t even work in my area. 😒

### 1/5 — Really degraded from prior versions

*2018-09-09, version 8.8.3*

Not good

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Great app EXCEPT HUGE ISSUE

*2022-04-07, version 9.2.71*

When you search on the map, homes vanish.  If you zoom in they appear.  Its rather frustrating and you can’t get the draw tool to work correctly.  Once you get it calibrated just right, it glitches and resets.  Good luck saving your search

### 1/5 — What happened?

*2021-10-15, version 9.2.67*

This use to be a great app. Now, pictures of properties are not available!  Terrible app, would not waste your time!

### 1/5 — Aggravated

*2021-05-26, version 9.2.64*

Used to work good,I don’t know what happened now it does nothing but aggravate you. It tells you  that it’s not a service area when you were there like yesterday. I’m about ready to delete it

### 1/5 — Area Not Serviced

*2021-02-08, version 9.2.60*

It would have been nice for you to include a disclaimer that your app does not include data for all parts of the United States. I downloaded the app only to find out that my area is “not serviced” and for me to try searching in another area (which does me no good since I know where I want to live). Will you kindly list all zip codes you do not service to save others the time and hassle of downloading your app and creating an account only to find out they aren’t allowed to use your app?

### 1/5 — Do not use latest update.

*2020-07-08, version 9.2.54*

App is terrible after latest update.

### 1/5 — Wish I Could Clear Recent Searches

*2020-04-18, version 9.2.54*

I always get emails for property in the wrong state.

### 1/5 — Not in my region...

*2020-02-14, version 9.2.4*

Simply... The app States it doesn't service the region I'm searching. And this is a major metro area!

### 1/5 — Used to be the best app!

*2019-10-10, version 9.2.1*

I found my current house on this app. My realtor was amazed how I was finding homes before her. I was a huge advocate for ZipRealty. Now the app has a lot of issues. You have to continue to zoom in and out for houses to show up. Not all houses for sale show up. Houses that have sold still show up. I wouldn’t recommend. Redfin or Zillow much better.

### 1/5 — Best Real Estate App

*2019-10-04, version 9.2.1*

I used to LOVE this app. But, now it doesn’t work anymore. I’m so bummed. I hope they fix it.

### 1/5 — Slow and buggy..

*2019-09-04, version 9.2.1*

Takes frequent refreshes by zooming in and out for it to show available listings.  Looking for alternatives..

### 5/5 — Better than Zillow or Redfin!

*2019-07-21, version 9.1.10*

Finally I was able to see all the homes on the market! I am not sure why but a lot of home search apps do not show all the available homes on the market😧 My agent kept suggesting me to use their app but I was too used to using those nationwide website and apps lol Then, my agent asked me if I wanted to see the home just came on the market so I went to zillow to check out some pictures and other information but I couldn’t find the home she was talking about!! So I texted my agent and she sent me the property information through ZipRealty app and all the information including the pictures were right there!! I guess some website does not reflect right away. Because other websites had some delay, I have been using this one ever since then! I am still looking for a home though lol

### 5/5 — Love it

*2018-12-15, version 9.0.1*

I’ve been using it for more than a year. Solid app! Finally found a place I want and connected with a rep thru the app.

### 5/5 — Easy to use

*2018-10-05, version 8.9.1*

I love how easy it is to filter what I’m looking for. I even have school ratings on the map to ensure that I’m focused on neighborhoods near great schools.

### 5/5 — Zip reality app

*2018-05-11, version 8.7.9*

So user friendly, organized, and accurate info

### 5/5 — If not the best home app out there

*2017-12-01, version 8.7.3*

This app is one of the best, if not the best app out there for looking for homes. It remembers your recently viewed homes for your price range in a certain area you searched for, and brings you back to that same location when you click on your saved search section which is a plus if you want to recheck your previously liked homes. 

And it’s interface is very easy to use and scroll through. Everything is clean and bug less. Which is why I give it 5 stars! 👌🏻

### 5/5 — Great site

*2017-10-04, version 8.7.2*

Love this site just needs more interior pics of property

### 5/5 — Easy to use and has the details I need

*2014-04-27, version 4.3*

I like using this app to search for homes much more than other apps available. I've tried a few that crashed and had long delays to open pics and navigate through pages. The Zip app is by far the easiest & quickest to use. I can click save home while scrolling through, to come back to my saved list later. I've enjoyed the ability to search near why I'm at and move the map around or zoom in and out to see what else is in that area. I can also one-click to google maps for directions. Great app!

### 5/5 — Best app for serious home buyers

*2013-08-07, version 3.8*

The thing I like best about this app compared to Zillow & Trulia is that the ZipRealty app has the most accurate MLS data. So use this app if you want to cut through the clutter. ZipRealty is also a true real estate brokerage so the agents listed have been vetted and approved unlike other sites where the agents shown have purchased the ad space. The app has these ratings and reviews left by actual customers so judge the agents for yourself.  The streetsketch feature lets you draw lines around the areas where you are looking. Check out the virtual augmentation feature, StreetScan. Overall, excellent app! Nicely done.

### 5/5 — Just bought a house with Zip!

*2013-04-29, version 3.6.2*

We have tried other apps similar just to find the houses are years old or even off the market.  I love the notification when a house meets your requirement. We were notified the first day our soon to be home was on market and we were able to set us a visit the same day as well. This app makes it easy to save favorites and let your agent know which ones you want to visit.  There are a lot of fun features with this app -  I wish they had the feature where if I zoomed onto my neighbors house it tells me their houses estimate so I can compare my home to other homes around it.

### 5/5 — Love it!

*2010-10-08, version 0*

This is the 2nd time I've used ziprealty to help buy real estate and I am so pleased with the improvements they made on their website and with thr additions of this app. I love the saved home searches and that I can reach and access my real estate agent quickly. The maps and directions are awesome. The interactive homes map feature is a nice touch because I found a condo in a complex I liked, but didn't like the unit. But the map showed other listings in the same complex so I was able to check out prices andhave my agent call to see if we could take a look. Love this app. Makes home buying fun and easy!
