The app is great for searching for apartments. It is able to filter based on what you are looking for with added flexibility. Everytime I love an apartment, I get an email every single time. I turned off push emails and they still come. Additionally, the app sends emails to properties I like on my behalf. Sends my name and number to these properties. Now I am getting emails from the properties to tell them I am not interested in a tour because I am just looking. This has become burdensome.

Not well suited for my search tastes. To expand on my previous review: This app matches randomly based on a set of choices. One of those choice - commute location - will search within a certain radius around your commute (like an office). However it is not perfect. It does not take into account that you may want to live closer to a city center vs. out in the middle of nowhere. There is no map view to choose from and no option to filter out specific areas. Very randomized and not accurate.

So convenient and effective! I love that it asks you all your preferences first, then finds your best matches and categorizes them so you can compare and contrast easily. The information is up-to-date. I wish I'd had this when I was looking last year! It helps make something incredibly stressful into something that's almost fun. I started looking last night and I've already been contacted by a few of my top picks and had my questions answered. Impressive!

This is such a fantastic app! very user friendly. great graphics and design. I just wish there was a way to move properties you previously disliked into your liked area (in case of accidental swipes the wrong direction). I tried and it doesn't seem to show up in the right place. overall amazing service and amazing app. they literally do all the apartment hunting for you.

After three months of searching for a really specific list of criteria, apartment list came out on top as the easiest way to see your options quickly. Other apps required a lot of scrolling through places that are kind of what you want, forcing you to do a final gut check yourself. Apartment list tells you up front how many options exactly match your criteria, and then let's you choose to relax one expectation at a time to see what you can get if you're a touch less picky.

Excellent choice for one searching for the different options and considerations in getting just the right place to call home. They actually make a big effort to keep you in the loop when changes occur on their list. They categorize your selections to reflect your budget, (Of Course!), But also have lists made for 'amenities' (which were chosen by the apartment-hunter), and another list for possibilities slightly above your comfortable budget. All in all, it's a great assistant for all.

Set up in a way that allows you to define what you are looking for with detail, clearly, and quickly, so that you can find a variety of places based on what you're looking for with ease and honestly ten times faster than other apps or websites. One cool feature is that it also lists when different apartments have deals going on. Plus the over head view of all the places that you have decided you are interested in helps you compare distance from your work place, downtown, etc. Super useful!

It gave lots of options and different reasons "why *those* options," per specifications,, and the apps usability is great! The properties I was interested in responded right away, and their communication and the follow-up/alerts from the app are informative but not overly intrusive in marketing the properties. The app interface is clean and sleek and not busy, which is great-- keeps the focus on the content of the properties.

Terrible app. Needlessly complicated to make it seem "hip" like Tinder with the swipe function. Can't just look at a map to see nearby listings with prices without swiping through useless listings first. I specifically listed one city with specific neighborhoods, and chose the option to only search my area, but it still only showed me results from the nearby bigger city (that I specifically said no to.) Don't download. There are better, more clear, easy to use, precise apps and websites to use.

This is a really good app (mostly), but I have two issues with it. One is that I wish I could clear apartments I did NOT match with or already viewed, but to clear the short list, it removes every single apartment that I've been shown, which is kind of frustrating. The only other issue I have is that it asks you to set a price, but im not sure why it bothers, since the app will continue to show you places 300-400 dollars more expensive than you've listed.

Have found many apartments in the states I'm researching. The inquiry messages do get answered by phone and/ or email. It would be great if the messaging could be done through the app, rather than email or calls, specially because of time differences and my schedule. A little hard to match the emails to the listed properties , specially if using multiple sources. Sometimes, can't find the property again in the app. Overall, best apartment search app I have used.

I care about location more than anything, but there's no option for map search and almost all of the listings it shows me are not in the locations i specified (even when choosing "stay in location, flex on everything else"!!!). Useless if the filters don't actually filter anything out. Also, only displays info about commute time on like half the options. The app is cute, but ultimately a waste of time if you have any specific requirements you cannot compromise on.

I like the idea but the app feels so annoying to use. The most annoying thing is the "assistant" that doesn't really do anything, it just takes up your whole screen to say "you've looked at all the listings!" And then hangs for wayyy to long with no skip button. It also didnt give me an option to pick things that I dont want to be flexible about. I cant magically pay double my budget. And I dont like how theres no map, idk every nearby city i can enter and it doesnt suggest ones that make sense

Has the most listing and a tinder vibe to selecting an apartment. Best feature is calculating work commute to filter that. Multiple search categories such as Apts with all your filters, one if you're okay to pay a little more, one if you can flex on location and amenities, etc. I have chosen my apartments in the past 4 years off this app. My only complaint is that the pricing is WAY OUTDATED this year. Multiple listing show $500 less then what the apartments are asking for.

The filters I input dont restrict what is shown to me by price or location. Location is very important to me, proximity to public transportation, but this application has no map feature and will not filter by neighborhood even when specified in the filter. It's frustrating because I know this app may have listings I wouldn't be able to see else where, but theres no way of me knowing I've seen everything in my area. It needlessly takes my time, so I focus on visiting better apps.

Using a Pixel 7, I had some issues logging in, but once I was in, everything was smooth. I like the categories this app has as well as the search filters and settings. It works well for me. Though I suppose it would be nice to be able to exclude states in my search as I need to move near a border but don't want to live in the neighboring state. Radius searches can't help me there. Overall, it's great!

Okay, it really is a great concept, but three things: -The address I input for my workplace shows up incorrectly on the map -Because of point #1, my commute time is inaccurate. And commutes that are 15 minutes on Google Maps show up as 60+ minutes on the app, which is just wrong -I wish you could search specific apartments to add to your Love It list rather than just putting in filters and hoping it shows up on the matching feature

Going to be uninstalling today. I reached out to one of the listings (which looks very legitimate) and the person who emailed me was obviously a scammer who was "not in town to show me the property" and would "mail the keys to a trustworthy renter" etc. Etc. It's a common scam. Yet when I went to the app, I saw there is no way to report potentially fake listings. That being the case, it calls all listings into question. So it's safer for me to just delete the app.

I love the ways you can filter. A good filtering system makes the entire experience so easy. For example I don't have to worry about the pet option which is usually given but I need to know if two people sharing a room is okay. I get all the couples okay rooms in my budget within 15 miles of my work and I browse them whenever they pop up. The pictures and about info does the rest.

Great app for viewing specials and comparing prices, especially if you're only interested in a few places. My biggest gripe, however, is the lack of flexibility in viewing. There are communities that weren't in my budget during my first run-through, that are in budget now, but I can't just search them up and add it to my list. I have to scroll through my disliked list until I find it. Things like that make it not as user-friendly as some other apps.
