Ratings and reviews

Very poor functionality and extremely buggy. The development must not be complete. Filtering results has major problems; two examples: you can add a minimum square footage but not a maximum and you can input how many dock doors are needed but not grade level doors. When you attempt to select another field it returns you to the previous one. Nearly useless as is.

This app is difficult to use and has very few of the features and search filters that are needed to do any useful work or searches. What makes things even more frustrating is that you can't use a mobile device to access those features either due to overlay screens that don't scale with your device. For close to $1,000 a month for the CoStar service you would think that you would be able to at least use the search function.

Got an alert on your phone about a new property? Except it's not a simple as just clicking the link. No. You can't even sign in, if you sign into the app co-star, separately. Then try to click the link in your email for a new listing, you're still brought to a login screen. how stupid is this?. Make an app that works better, it's 2019. Now I can't login. push notifications dont work and cant two step authenticate. costar, please fix. I have had support help and then the app fails again.
