Ratings and reviews

Unreliable. Not necessarily the apps fault but my main issues include; Landlords/people with sparerooms not responding to messages. Ads are up even though the rooms are not available anymore. I've never paid for the upgraded account as it doesn't seem worth it if people rarely respond. I have successfully used this app once to find a place so there are some decent people out there on the app.

95% people dont reply to messages. Also the ads which can be seen as "available from today" can also be seen 1 month later as "available from today" also. So not a good thing.. In my case, i have sent messages to more than 50 people from last 1 month, but not a single person replied like a human. No reply at all... Also people mislead people by providing terms and conditions. Giving 2 stars because cause is good, but app work is useless in practicality.

Really good way to find housemates. The chat feature means you can get to know people a little before meeting them. It's a bit frustrating about the limits in the free version.

What's new

In this update, we’ve refreshed the design of the map version of our search results. You’ll now see different map pins depending on whether and how you’ve interacted with ads. You’ll see whether you’ve viewed them, saved them, hidden them, shown interest in them, or contacted them by message or phone.

We’ve also introduced a new type of map pin: price pins (i.e. monthly or weekly rental amount). You can switch between the existing and the new type of map pin from the Setting screen.
