Review Summary
Overall, people find the Trulia app useful with good filters and neighborhood statistics, but they report significant issues with notifications, functionality bugs, filter accuracy, and responsiveness to inquiries, making the user experience frustrating.
I used to rely on the Trulia app for finding rental properties, but recently it has become extremely frustrating. The photos of the properties, which are crucial for making informed decisions, no longer load or are completely missing. Without being able to see images, I feel like I'm missing out on potential rental opportunities. It’s disappointing because Trulia used to be a reliable resource, but now it feels like I’m searching blind. Please fix this issue.
The app works extremely well compared to others and it's my default one when looking at apartments. It has 2 main issues however (at least on Android): It shows me rooms for rent on my feed and notifications without an option to turn that off, I want to look at private apartments only. Second, the share feature gives you 3 paragraphs of text. The people I'm sharing the apartment with already have the app, every apartment I send to my partner shouldn't also include a link to download the app.
This is an excellent app. The options to narrow down searches are awesome. I appreciate all of my prefrences being saved in the filter, that I can save the houses I'm interested in, as well as hide the ones I'm not, and the boxes on the map going from blue to grey to remind me I viewed a listing. Lastly, I really like having control of the radius on the map. I'm so glad the 🦕 days of being limited to searching for houses by (unfamiliar/unknown) zip codes are long gone! Those who know - know!
It's fine for what it is. I absolutely hate the notifications. The notifications show you pictures of the most expensive rentals with the lowest cost rental prices next to them. Then when you click on the unbelievable notification it takes you to a list of rentals that aren't even available under my search parameters even though the notification says "based on your recent search" I'm not sure why this happens none of the other rent apps do this. I turned the notifications off.
Very good overall but I have one issue I've sent to customer support (still waiting to hear back). Whenever I try to delete my save searches they come right back when I reopen the app. Also I'd recommend making it mandatory for anyone trying to list a place to rent to add an address for an office or phone number to for contact. I've seen a few places I was interested in but looked all over for an email or number to call while finding none.
I like this app, but recently the alerts tab stopped loading alert results. I still get alert notifications, but if I select them it just loads the alerts tab with a button that says "get started," even though I've configured alerts. Tapping this button also just takes me to the search tab. So yeah. No idea why or what I'm supposed to do. Seems like a bug.
Unlike even their other spp, once this app decides it is going to send you notifications, you cannot modify the criteria, or at least not in a way that is intuitive. Also unlike the trulia app, I cannot specify pets in my search. I'm getting notified on tons of irrelevant places. Yes I can turn off the notifications, but then why not just use the spps that do let me set the criteria I want and update criteria. I do like the neighborhood information; but, I get that in the regular trulia app.
Unlike other apps this shows the Vancouver, WA area without Portland, OR listings, which I was immediately impressed with. Two different states, different laws, taxes, healthcare systems, so thank you for that. Unfortunately, trying to scroll through pictures of a listing makes the listing close. Terribly glitchy and FRUSTRATING to use. Not being able to eliminate listings I'm not interested in is also very frustrating.
Solid app for looking through listings, love the statistics for the neighborhood you are looking at. Only reason I dont give 5 stars is because the map is not responsive or sometimes downright obnoxious. For instance, I will click on a listing and instead of opening the listing it will think I've tapped the neighborhood, which then triggers an animation and hides all entries outside of the neighborhood. To get back to my search I have to back out and 'remove boundary'.
I really like all of the extras; especially the "crime" stats. I may really like a certain place but I first look to see if he crime stats to see if it is in certain area. Also like looking at all of the other extras going across the top bar. This is by far my favorite rental app; I find it quite difficult to use another as I've not found one with all of the additional information.
