With a few tweaks could be good Ap is ok but need full pricing selection as on the website (150,200,250.. not just 100,200,300) and when finished viewing a listing it scrolls back to the top when going back to the searched listings, rather than where you were at in the list. Also can't select multiple property types or areas so just end up searching all and scrolling through non relevant listings. Prefer to just use the website and save space on my phone.

Prepare to be Frustrated Layout is OK but there are so many issues with this thing that it makes you wonder how if this app helps or hinders sellers yo sell their properties. Price brackets too far apart, lack of multiple region select, the fact that every time u go back to the list of properties u looking at the list goes back to the top to name a few. Overall very disappointing.

Why does the app need location sharing turned on? I shouldn't be penalised just because I don't want to turn it on. If I say no to sharing my location then let me use the search functions just like on your website.

So much potential Just downloaded the app and tried to find my saved searches...no luck. Can't select multiple areas. Only loads first 10 listings. Crashes when it gets confused. Less than five minutes of using it... I wont again until the bugs and ux is improved. Positive it will get there though. Ill try again in 6 months if im still looking for a house... When you select your area it takes you to map view...not of the area/district you selected. Also, can only select one town and listing type.

Annoying to use No ability to save your usual region, so you need to enter it EVERY time. Painful. And after viewing a property, you return to the top off the list, so you need you school down to where you were... Painful. Obviously the programmers have never done a house search.

Difficult to navigate between map, listing and filters. Often find I'm back at the home screen and filter criteria reset. Hard to filter out the crap, missing criteria like freehold, exclude auction, min car park. Auctions need guide prices so they appear correctly when filtering by price range. Making them equal zero and appearing in all price ranges is frustrating.

Crashes without gps Wants to know your location for no reason and crashes if you don't give it permission. Totally stupid decision by the app developers. Fix your app!

Chris Doms January 19, 2017

Too many annoyances. The biggest for me is if you're scrolling through a long list, look at a property and go back it takes you back to the top of the long list.

Tama Pokai April 13, 2017

No point using this app when it does not get updated, there are many homes on here that have been sold. Some 3 years+. Also its frustrating after you view a property it returns back to the top of the list and you have to rescroll through the list back to where you were

James Simmonds September 14, 2016

Not user friendly Very poor use-ability when searching. Use the trademe property app or the realestate website... not sure what they were thinking when they released this app???

Mickey Mouse November 12, 2016

Just stick with Trademe app This is one of the most crappily designed apps I've seen in a long time. Damn thing just doesn't work!

October 21, 2016

Useless on S6 Nothing good to say about this app. Time to hire someone who knows how to design an app I think!

Shani Mills September 28, 2016

Waste of time Can't even open the app which is a pain. Looks like I'll be uninstalling & using TradeMe instead.

Rip Takhar September 10, 2016

Where's the auto scroll? When I go back out of a specific property to the list view, it should auto scroll back to the position in the list where I was... so annoying to have to scroll back through entire list just to get back...your competitor figured this out years ago.

Jason Banks August 11, 2016

Why change Just had to say this was an awesome app but since last update really made it user unfriendly not sure why you would change an app that was already great and make it worse.

Richard Mason October 24, 2016

Can't save searches App works but please add ability to save searches or, at least, remember the last search. Very tired of putting the criteria in again and again.

Karma Wilde February 6, 2017

Uninstalled. Constantly gave an error message and stopped. Never even got a chance to find the faults the other reviewers reported...

September 10, 2016

It's ok Frustrating when your looking at a house and you go back it does not take you back to were you where .. you have to scroll all the way back down to try find were you where

Ben Fellows April 23, 2017

It's nowhere as user friendly as Trademe. When in maps mode sometimes all listings not shown for that map area but viewing listings brings back all results.

Benjamin Noone March 17, 2017

Terrible app, wants access to photos, media, and other non related information. When you click deny the app crashes. Do not bother downloading.

May 10, 2017

App keeps shutting whenever I try to look at properties.. once you fix this glitch I will review it again

Stevie-Marie Crabb February 10, 2017

Wouldn't even let me in! Kept asking me if I wanted to report this issue! Yes! Ugh

Abigail Silich December 28, 2016

Crashes on open Would be great to be able to use the app, unfortunately it crashes within a couple of seconds of opening :(

Dan McCort November 17, 2016

Absolutely useless. Get rid of the map view. Or default it to some kind of standard listing view. Not even remotely user friendly. Uninstalled.

Sarah D August 29, 2016

Good app! But.. Good app overall. Definitely needs a pet friendly tab so that families know which homes are pet friendly that they can easily view other than that pretty good.

Aroha Hinga February 27, 2017

I've Uninstalled because I hate that it doesn't have some of the houses in the proper suburb, plus I also hate that it saves all the pictures that I've clicked into. Please fix these 2 things.

Nic James September 12, 2016

Worse than the website Terrible app. Never works, always crashes. Website is also junk on mobile.

Simon Craggs March 23, 2017

Very poor app.... Dont bother. It demands to have location turned on. Mad. Plus when you click back it goes right back to the top of your search list, wasting a lot of time. Boooooo, fix it!

July 2, 2017

Kept crashing. Can't choose multiple suburbs. The map is hard to use and gives different search results a you zoom in and out. Rubbish app. Back to trademe.

Nic Murray January 11, 2017

Frustrating Keeps crashing time and time again, not the easiest to navigate back and forward either

Stevie Z October 24, 2016

Junk What a waste of all of that TV marketing only for customers to find a crap website on desktop and a even worse app to download

Katie Macdonald June 25, 2017

App wouldn't work if I didn't allow it access to my files and location etc. I Uninstalled as soon as I installed. Terrible!

Martin McTighe May 15, 2017

Continually crashes if you don't allow location services.

mike greenhough May 3, 2017

It's ok. Works for a little while but crashes every time since upgrading to Android N

Bryan Owen June 8, 2017

If you used the IOS version and then this you would want to shoot yourself, this is beyond a joke how bad it is

Shivendra Odean January 30, 2017

I scroll through a massive list. Open a listing, Then press back. It now takes me to the begining of the results. Now keep doing this for each listing you view. Scroll up down up down :)
