Reviews for Apartment List: Rent app

Overall best apartment searching app I've used. It shows you so many options based on your criteria. The only thing I wish it had was a way to sort the short list (favorites) because the app recommends so many listings that you end up with a very long list of apartments. For example, sort from rent least to highest or distance. A ranking system would be cool too. Like spot #1 favorite, spot#10 least favorite.

i give this app 5 stars in regards to how it sorts your choices and organizes them; it really is unique in that no other app or website comes even close to helping you make lists like this, and sort your options for you. However, I'm knocking 1 star off because the app has never been correct on the pricing of the apartments. The app says they verify their info every 24 hours, but if they truly did, why are they consistently off $50-150 in price?

This app is decent as far as finding available rentals in the area you choose. However they force you to put in your phone number and then sell it to anyone that wants it. Not more than three days after I downloaded this app and signed in, my phone began to blow up with scam calls and texts. If you want your phone number on all the scammers list then download the app, but I warn you. You will receive 7-10 calls a day, and I'm on the do not call list. This is the only app I downloaded

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.

Don't bother applying a price range filter. The app doesn't apply it to the other filters. Looking for a 3 bed, 2 bath location under $1800; all "matches" previewed as being within price range were disappointing as the price was for a different layout (i.e. 2bed, 2bath). It happened so often, I felt like I was wasting time whenever I entered the app.

Much easier to move through each apartment. Especially since people are looking deeper into the square footage, location (like first or second floors, plus if it's an end unit for less noise). And backing up in each site is a plus. Wi TY h the photos, I'd concentrate on inside apartment and not multiple pictures of office the pool areas, plus other extras. Still it's a very nice site to visit.

Clean and mostly easy to navigate. The notifications can be somewhat annoying until you tailor them. Would like there to be a consolidation of hits, say if there's multiple buildings/different addresses with openings for a single community. Would also like the option to select and keep a preferred location. Right now, you can add cities and neighborhoods, but trying to select a specific one to focus on doesn't stick. Otherwise, it's easy to use!

Alot of areas to look, they do the work and looking for you. All price range also. They ask about number of bedrooms, bathrooms, area you would like to move to, price range and any extra things you would like your new place to have, like a fenced yard, washer/dryer hookup, storage/work shed. Ect. Very easy and you get notifications when something new comes up. Really takes a lot of stress out of looking and riding around yourself wasting gas.

Their service does a great job consolidating and providing info. I especially liked the questions it asks when you get started and how it organizes and groups the results based on your answers. I also appreciated how it sorts your responses into a shortlist. If I had a criticism it would be when you like or love a listing, it offers to let the apartment know. I clicked yes about a dozen times and now I have about 3 dozen emails from them. I first thought it was a "show interest" button.

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.
