- 🌟 Finding home easy
- 👍 The best application I ever use
Room to improve
- 🐛 This app is terrible can't look up by location it needs to be updated
- 🐛 This app is adequate if you're also utilizing HAR online as it allows you to access homes you've saved, but I've never been able to put in an address or zip code to search for homes using the app which makes it unhelpful as an app
- 🐛 This app is useless!!!
- 🐛 Right off the bat, The first question says, enter city, state or zip code.. I put in a city.. nothing happens, I put in Texas, nothing happens.. I put in a zip code and yet not able to search. After reading a few comments, I'm not surprised this app was created years ago, but neglected and no update.. I don't know if this is important enough for the developers to take notice, but I'll be using Redfin to find a house to rent since interest rates are stupid high in 2023.. thanks Biden
- 🐛 The app is overall simple, which is a good thing! It gets to the point without adding complicated menus. My problem however is that it does overheat the phone quite a bit, along with not being able to share property listings. I get the error stating that I can only share the property listing if I'm on WiFi or Cellular Data to use this HAR app. This is an app bug, because I am connected to WiFi, I've also tried using cellular data and I still get the same error
