Ratings and reviews

average app... to say the least. basic filters like furnished ads only are non existent. also in the chat the field with the message you are composing and the send button are hidden below the keyboard, so most of the time I'm guessing what I'm writing.... very unfriendly UI, but having in mind the average quality of the websites and apps here in Switzerland, i guess it explants this mediocre result, hence 3 stars. in normal situation I'd give no more than 1!

If you apply for the flat together with other people they send all your documents to other applicants without any warning. Very poor data privacy. Apart from that they spam with irrelevant listings, i.e. temporary or room in shared apartment even though I applied corresponding filters to not show such listings. Many listings don't have address, which is literally the most important part of the flat listing.

Mostly useful app. Better that homegate, having possibility to use your account and keeping the favorites and chats across platforms. But the most annoying bug is that the chat is not working in the Android version. Also it will be very useful to have a translate function like homegate. *Edit* Solved ! The "chat", "for you" and "listings" sections did not work when an Ad Blocker is present on the Android OS, like PrivateDNS, or in LAN, like Pi-Hole or AdGuard.
