Constant notifications for messages, which then don't load once you're in the app. Constantly buggy in that regards. would appreciate more consistent updates to address these issues. Also, if someone hasn't created a listing for themselves, I can't read anything about them when they message me for my property. Means I have to chase up information my self. You should be able to completely view someone's profile at all times in my opinion. Also should be mandatory to have a display photo.

Useful search tool for room renters. Unfortunately the feature set is lacking. For example, no way to give saved searches a unique name. Data retention is woeful. I verified my account. Didn't login for a while as didn't need to. Later on login and all my old listings are gone, including my verification! I really wish the owner would hire a better developer. I just opened the app to find it has deleted my phone number! Developers are utterly incompetent.

if you are desperate do not use this site. definitely not for those on a budget. r come dations come in like a flood but none seem to be relevant! bombarded with emails from the app advertising upgrades or else your ad won't do well! so basically you either pay or they make damn sure you don't get a place. check the local classifieds in your area because it took just one day and I have a place but not one answer to my flatmates ad except for advertising from the app. USELESS. be warned.
