Ratings and reviews

Definitely the worst app for potential renters. No options. Setting your precise budget, rather than a random number in increments of 250, requires you to tap through multiple menus (another reviewer doesn't even know they can do that because it's so hidden), as does any other key requirements like bedroom count. Both UI and apartment listings are lacking (for a month, no hits where other apps have many).

I like rent hop as a whole, but the app has some bad functions. Your max rent should be more specific-- I should be able to see apartments for 1,850 if I wanted to instead of having to chose between 1750 and 2000-- that's a big difference that adds up over a lease-term. The map function is annoying-- if I want to back track and look at other apartments nearby on the map, I have to exit and return back to the filters page. Going back SHOULD take me to map

Major Bait and Switch site. Everytime I inquire about a listing, I get the runaround and told about other listings. The one I inquire about is never available. I hate that the site allows Realtors/Brokers to not list physical property address. That is usually the sign of a bait and switch. Multiple Brokers advertising the same "listing." Incredibly unreliable and annoying.
