Definitely have to say, it’s really great for finding a roommate, super easy to navigate and set up as well. With the new updates, everything is running smoother, and getting in touch with people/finding people is pretty awesome. Great app
The app works like any social network app, but it’s pretty buggy, I tried to watch ads so I could message ppl instead of paying a dollar every time, after watching the ads the app would get messed up and have to reboot itself, so I never got to message anyone, maybe paying for the premium would make it better?? But if that’s the case it’s kind of whack that the app doesn’t work unless you pay for it. The premium features they listed should be what you pay for, not the basic function of literally opening it and using it.
The biggest problem that made me decide to leave was the fact that a large amount of people on the app have been inactive for a while. Few profiles say they are from 2020. One person i checked their instagram and it said they were a freshmen last year. The roomie profile said they were a freshmen this year. So this person was inactive but didn’t delete their account. A lot of people i decided to message were inactive too.
I have not gotten a single response to my ad, despite paying extra, and have had multiple technical support issues (I am currently unable to search by how much a roommate is looking to spend). Other issues have been reported to Roomie, who say, “Thank you for pointing out this issue. We will resolve this bug and push out an update shortly.” In other words, “deal with it,” despite being a paying customer. I believe Roomie is taking people’s money and not offering any type of service.
This is the best roommate search app by far. just hands down i applaud them for the one time 99 cent payment option to message people. but every time i message someone i get a notification from… myself? that’s right, the app thinks me messaging someone else is me messaging myself? it’s so strange. i’ll upgrade my rating if they fix this!! lol
Super disappointed. Couldn’t get this app to register finger tap input, and when I went to their site for support, I couldn’t find any. I decided I might as well try to register on the site, and discovered I could only do so through Facebook—I left social media for my mental health, which means this app and site are completely inaccessible for me, on a number of levels. A shame, since it looked promising!
Got this app a while ago and was kinda skeptical but this is a great legit way to meet a roommate! You message with people and get to know each other, I’ve met a lot of people going to my school. I even met my roommate through it! Super great app!
The app is SO glitchy that it’s unusable. It won’t let your messages go through half the time, and instead of saying “the message can’t be sent” etc.. your text just disappears into the void without you knowing if it ever sent. Information doesn’t save right, or simply doesn’t save at all. I was extremely disappointed by this app
I spent an hour entering information and downloading pictures and every time I click SAVE, it would find an error that did not exist because what it claimed as an error was all entered properly. And it does not let you save by se tiñó, it makes you waste all your time to tven list non existing errors and tell you have nothing saved nor property description entered. TERRIBLE!!!
It be scammers on there trying to set it up like they are going to work with you but they try to take your money. One dude tried to scam me out of $300 for a “deposit “ on a apartment but wouldn’t let me see it in person before paying. And another girl said j could be her roommate but wouldn’t let me see the room before laying $500 . Watch out for scammers on there
Every time you open you app it will bug out and leave you on a blank screen unable to do anything. God forbid you actually somehow get it to open and try to edit your personal settings because doing so will immediately close the app. Do not use this app to find people, it is simply impossible.
The app is extremely sloppy and ghetto, don’t even know if I’m taking to real people. No one responds to messages and the app lags so much. There’s also something always blocking my screen, it reminds me of using apps on an iPod or iPhone 5. I don’t recommend at all.
This app could be really helpful if it weren’t for all the unnecessary fees attached. To message anyone it asks you to pay 99 cents or buy the premium version which just isn’t worth it. Plus, people delete the app without deactivating their account which leads to their not being anyone to talk to in the first place.
Even when I got tricked into buying the ad free version, there are still ads. Impossible to find a roommate either because I’m pretty sure everyone just deletes the app after using it for 2 seconds. I know it’s just $3, but honestly I want it back because of how disappointed I am.
I don’t know if it’s the way the app looks or something but the app feels/looks sketchy. There’s not way to see if an account is “verified” or to know how long someone’s been on the account, and just the overall look of the app looks sketch.
Watched an add like 6 times to try and message a potential roommate who I had a ton in common with. Never let me message him after watching it and was frustrating. App is an awesome concept but buggy.
It can’t find my location, even though I live in NYC, a place i imagine is really easy to spot on a map. There’s no way to turn on location services for the app either so, basically it’s a large waste of time and space.
Im tired of all these apps wanting you to put in so much information just to get in the app and see its not worth my time it takes like 30mins to sign up just to delete it in 2 seconds let me check the app first and if i like it ill create an account
This app could be really successful but there’s so many things wrong in my opinion. First, there’s no marketing at all for this app so your projected audience has no clue this even exists. Then there are people in the app that are no longer upcoming college freshman so it’s pointless. Wish it was better bc i love the concept.
It’s a cool platform but overlooks certain aspects. It’d be perfect with the ability to filter based on price and the ability to save your favorite listings. Other than that it’s nice.
The moment I try to add a picture to my profile, it closes me out of the app and I have to start over again. I’ve tried with one, two, three pics or more and it still does this.
Cant search for room by filters. When scrolling through options, the keyboard and ad is in the way to where you can not even see 1 full listing. Unusable.
Awful system! Couldn’t delete listing in the sane hour ! I’ve been trying to get assistance for a refund since the same day . No help ! Awful experience!
Too many old accounts (often two years old), not enough filters, and not enough users. Also, can’t tell if most of these accounts are real or bots/scams.
This app is terrible. I downloaded a bunch of roommate apps to check them out and this is probably the worst. How it has 4+ stars is beyond me. I deleted my profile and app within minutes of setup.
Deleted and redownloaded the app 3x and reached out to customer support a number of times and I’ve gotten no response. The app doesn’t post my listing and I have no idea why
It takes a long time to going from one place to another, or things just don’t update. For example, I was trying to rewrite the automatic message, but it never updated.
Someone stole my photos used them on this app and scammed people. The app has no contact information so I can’t even report the account so more and more people will get scammed.
