Ratings and reviews

I feel like PadSplit isn't mature enough to use yet. You can't search by date, availability of rentals is EXTREMELY limited, and there are too many hoops to jump through just to get approved, which is tedious. What's worse is that they spam the hell out of you, very aggressively, when you join. So now I'm getting contacted by them (daily) via email, text and phone, when they don't even offer more than 2 places to stay in my very touristy city. Overall, this is just a horrible user experience.

Great app, but it doesn't allow me to click or open links that are sent through the chat which is extremely inconvenient and disappointing. If we're unavailable to use a chat like normal, it's going to force people to take conversations outside the chat or hinder communication from happening in the first place. Communication is important especially since you're rooming with strangers. Besides the chat function issues, everything else works well. Please fix this immediately!

PaSplit is great, but, at least while searching for a pad, you're better off using the website as it gives more information on each house. The listings in the app seem to be missing important stuff like number of rooms and bathrooms, as well as profiles of current padmates (all of which are included in the website listings). Fix this oversight and I'll adjust my rating accordingly.
