KW Real Estate

We're in the process of looking for a home so I downloaded this, along with a few other similar apps, and it doesn't work. As soon as I click on anything after doing a search, it crashes. I've reinstalled it and still it crashes. My phone is up to date and I've got plenty of service (no lack of internet or phone signal). Can't give it more than 1 star because I haven't even been able to properly use it. What a bummer!

I'm on a Google Pixel 2. I ensured that I fully updated my phone. I have uninstalled and reinstalled the app, I've rebooted my phone several times, but it continuously crashes my phone. I can't get anywhere with it other than trying to set up a few filters. Also some basic filters like picking only to see one story homes are missing from this app. I prefer redfin, Trulia, and Zillow.

This app has the best filters of any other real estate app on the way store, but I've run into a few problems. •Whenever I try to create an account, I get an error. •Whenever I share a property, the link shared only opens in the browser, not the application. •Sometimes, whenever I switch to another application, the KW app reloads, causing me to lose whatever house I was looking at.

This app is terrible. The push notifications are worthless. You click on it, and it takes me to the last place I left the app in. Turning off notifications in the app settings doesn't even stop the push notifications. Either. I had to go I to my app permissions and remove push permissions. When I try to view a list I created, if I click on a listing and then click back to the list, it takes me to the very top of the list. So you don't want to make too long of lists, cuz that's a pain.

The app map needs to show every house, not just a random handful. People are not going to realize that you need to tap show more to view all the home in that area. The controls are a little clunky. However the app is not all bad, but a few adjustments would make the app tremendously better. 11/3/19 update Still haven't changed the show more button issue. I used the app with a client a couple weeks ago and the app showed a house for sale that had sold 2 weeks prior... unacceptable.

The KW app is horrible now, compared to the old version. The app shuts off in the middle of trying to filter your search. When clicking on the property it directs you to another & you have to click around the property you want to view. I don't like this updated version & would like the old version to return. Updated apps aren't always the best & this one definitely reflects just that.

It's all right, I wish it would actually take you to the listing it sends you a notification about when you tap it. Also that it would save your refined search filters on the map so you don't have to constantly re-apply them every time you open the app, or when you're simply moving across the map it'll sometimes just remove your filters at-will. Really annoying.

Not at all user friendly, not at all intuitive but worst of all it constantly keeps crashing. The concept is great but it's just too frustrating to use. It shouldn't be this difficult. I was so excited for this app and am equally disappointed and frustrated. I really hope the developer can fix these issues. Hopefully I will have found and purchased my home by then but for other people it world be nice if the app worked. Tired of waiting or closing app, tired of losing where I was, app crashing

Doesn't accurately correspond to the MLS sysytem. The app shows properties available, when they aren't. Frustrating when showing clients how the app works and trying to show a properties close to the one they requested. Also, it doesn't pick up on homes in the area I'm in (show prop near me feature) when I'm clearly in front of a house that's for sale. Hardly use it for these reasons.

It's ok. Works great when you pull up to a house and it shows that house. The map search option sucks though. Doesn't let you search a very large area. Often goes to where there is a cluster of homes for sale as opposed to where you are searching. Won't let you search more than one area without drawing the area which is difficult to do. It also doesn't let you sort by any options other than pricing or distance. No sq ft, bedroom, ect.

Decent application for real estate searches with some improvements that could be made. I would recommend being able to save search settings (i.e. budget, property types, etc.) for ease of use for secondary app usage and to compete with other major player real estate apps. I also found a house or two that's map location was incorrect when looking up the physical address on a mapping application.

Absolutely hate the new update! Much harder to look up "houses near me," for starters. You see a general map instead of a thumbnail image. When you look at pictures, they don't convert to full screen when you turn your phone so everything is small, if you click "back" while viewing a house, it closes the app instead of taking you to the previous screen and looking up certain cities and qualifications is much more difficult. Not to mention it's just much worse aesthetically.

I like that this app has the ability to limit searches by certain neighborhoods/streets, it makes searching much easier than other applications/sites. However, this app also crashes constantly, which makes it very difficult to use. Also, while it seems to retain search queries, it also asks you constantly to confirm the notification settings for the searches, which is annoying. If it were more stable, it would be a very powerful tool.

People are posting pictures of houses that are revealed to be mobile homes when selected. rw doesnt answer questions about properties. Mobile homes cant be filtered out, land doesnt filter out, etc. Even though i have "active homes" only checked, all i get are "closed" properties. Its a bit of a nightmare and a total waste of my time. When the app worked well, it seemed like a great resource.

The searches are clunky and often don't work. A saved search will become corrupt and unusable if you tweak it. The pins are no where near their actual location. The filters are useless and too broad. and a spatial search will give results way outside the area.... I could list more.... You're better off just walking to a house, knocking on the door, and asking if it's for sale... That'll give you more accurate results than this. And the icing on the cake is the agent is also unhelpful in the hunt....

Hard to use.. Each time you change city you have to update property preferences. The "draw" function would be useful but it always says search area is too big. The distance only goes to 10... 10 what?? If my job is moving me to Dayton do I need to know the name of every town within 60 miles to conduct a search. Zillow's sight seems to have it figured out, just mirror them. No key word search. Overall very limited.

I like several features on this Realty app. The 'houses close to you' function is great when I want to search a neighborhood I'm currently in. I also like Google maps option, which I use to look at the terrain and layout of house lots. What I don't like about the app, is that there is no record of conversations with the 'contact a realtor' function. Another thing I dislike is when I look thru the pictures of property, it sometimes forces a new and slow window to open.
