How? Just how? How is it possible to have an app as trashy as this in today's day and age? Descriptions don't open, can't see more details, pics are fine more than half the time. Having or not having this app is the same cos it anyway doesn't let you get information about a listing you might be interested in. There are tools to help your developers fox the app y'all. And cheap ones too.
Reviews for Redfin: Buy, Sell & Rent Homes
90% of what shows up in the update feed is out of the price range or area from my saved searches, and houses that meet the criteria don't always show up. Updated: This is getting ridiculous. Houses that are almost 2 hours away, have less square footage and bathrooms than are in my saved search, and between 50k-400k over my budget (also in my saved search) are not only showing up in my feed, but I am getting notifications for them.
I love the pictures, for the houses that have pictures. I love the possible monthly payment breakdowns and the estimation of what the houses are really worth. It is ready to maneuver and understand. I love seeing the new houses come on the market and updates when my favorites get sold. Awesome app. My one grievance is that it gives notifications for houses outside my price range. I thought I changed it but the notifications just kept coming.
Terrible laggy app; removed the whole appointment for me that I had set up when I wanted only one house removed. It also doesn't remove the house when you select remove, it just stays there for a few days then it updates it. All in all, just use the computer if you want to do that. The directions features is pretty nice as you can just go to the app, get the directions for the home scheduled and it'll put it in maps and take you there.
In comparison to similar apps, I have found this one to be the most informative. it gives measurements of rooms & land lots which most of the other apps don't. I also enjoy the many filtering options when trying to search through hundreds of listings. I will say that the new home alerts for listings not matching saved search criteria can be annoying (I dont care to see listings from places that I have ruled out or priced way off from my price parameters).
Sloppy. Redfin recommends dozens of houses a day, but they do not follow the set parameters that I have selected for in my saved searches. So in turn, they are just annoying me with notifications all day, and wasting my time with houses and properties that I'm not interested in to begin with. Also, not all properties are listed on Redfin in a timely matter, forcing me to use other real estate search services. Sloppy at best.
Very useful settings if it worked. I end up going to the browser version to actually get something done. Going to my saved searches in app never worked (I really mean never). It keeps spinning the "refreshing" wheel and in the 4-5 minutes I have patience to wait, it never updates . Instead it shows me the houses that were loaded upon opening the app. I am currently abroad, that may play as a factor, but in the same time the browser version works flawlessly. two stars just for the good intension.
There are a lot of options available, but it's not nation wide. I needed to search in an area and it wasn't available yet. I can understand that. That was where the 2 stars came in. The absolute constant never ending notifications however... is more than annoying. I set it to daily notifications yet I get one every couple of minutes. All day and night. The user interface isn't as easy as it could and should be either. Overall.. not impressed. Sorry.
So I really love Redfin and for the most part the app is user friendly except I can't view my favorite list. When I click on it it spines and then nothing loads. I had reached my max favorites so I couldn't add anymore and had to request that they increase my limit. It still did not fix the issue of me not being able to see the list.
What happened to the commute options? Being able to put in multiple destinations and getting a peek at your possible commute times set this app apart from others. Now it's the same as all of them. Please bring this feature back! Additionally, the recommendations are all out of wack. If you accidentally look at one house outside og your price range, this thing suddenly only recommends thosw to you.
