Ratings and reviews

The general map UI is hard to use. Searching an area that has no listings causes the bottom bar to move up slightly which means accidental button presses. The android back button may sometimes close the app instead minimizing a listing. Listings stacked on top of each other are nearly impossible to navigate between. Having the draw, satellite mode, and my location buttons on top of the navigation bar while using a big phone requires users to hold the phone from the middle to use.

The app used to be pretty good, the most recent iteration is basically unusable. The map is poor and covered up by an awkward sliding tab. Swiping between houses is a no go. I'm constantly being prompted to press and hold a bar on the screen to prove I'm not a bot, when the bar finally fills up it's hit or miss whether the verification even works or I'm asked to do it again... And again, and again. Awful update.

From a buyer perspective, the app works well. It's generally easy to find properties, save them, get alerts, etc. I love being able to see the number of views and saves Seller's perspective: app can be frustrating. I've claimed my home, currently listed with a realtor, so I see the views and saves stats. But the start and stop time of what is considered a "day" is a mystery. I would also like to see some filters for viewing stats, and also the ability to see more than 30 days of stats
