Easy to use. Connected me with potential landlords. Felt safe and secure. New property and message alerts worked quickly to ensure I didn't miss any contacts. I also used the room wanted advert feature that also connected me to several persons for properties that I hadn't yet viewed. I found a place in 4 days. The subscription was well worth it to contact landlords and be found swiftly. considering the profile boost it gave, I think it shows you are keen and serious about viewing/moving.

It's the go-to app for finding a place to stay, fast. Once you get your searches and ads go live it's quite overwhelming the number of responses you get every hour. Minus one star because the website and app are very different in their layout, and notifications or messages might appear only on the website and not the app or vice versa.

Amazing app. Works well. Sometimes the map glitches and an advert seems to float giving you the incorrect location. I kind of don't like that you have to pay to be able to immediately contact a new ad- often finding a place to stay, time is of the essence. Some ads look downright scammy. But found a decent place through here after 2 weeks of looking, paniced that I weren't going to find a place in time and paid- then locked in a new ad that appeared.
