BEWARE OF THIS APP. I created an account to go through the app, see how it worked, and see if it was a scam. I messaged a few of the profiles on the app to see if people would respond. The first thing I get is an e-mail from “staff” saying that I had been […]

Needed to find someone when roommate moved out. App was easy to use and I was able to find someone in a couple of weeks.
great so far I’ve had no trouble with this app and there’s quite a selection of folks looking for places to rent all in all I have no complaints
Even with investing in the application, the leads and landlord recommendations are not aligned with a common understanding of matching your desired results. You spent more time filtering out the app’s results. Why? Shouldn’t a tool make the workload more efficient? Tinder for housing vibes after 30 days of use, and ended with better results […]
The Hide Ad button doesn’t hide the ad. Also, it would be nice to have an option of “smoker/but only outside.
trash. if people are not accepting requests then the app should include the listing in searches. they should at least allow for filtering.
Paywall for messaging. When you leave contact info on your ad it gets removed. Totally useless app requires both you and some sucker in your area to fall for the pay wall.
The search is broken. It ignores the search radius, and only shows you results directly within the location you searched for. It shows the radius you select on the map, but the results do not show up.
In comparison to other paid apps, this app has more features for free.
The paywalls can be a bit annoying. Just know if you are new to the site, no one will be able to contact you with the first week of making an ad unless they or you have purchased the upgrade to do so. (applies both to people with rooms available or people seeking a room)
Not one request from this site while the “Roomies” application had 20 requests for the same period. A big waste of money and time.
Terrible business model based on middle-manning communication between people. Premature presumptive profiling is common, hosts can shut down contact without proper chance of conversation (which is what is being paid for). Hosts are slow to respond. Low activity. Definitely NOT the #1 room mate finder, more like the last. don’t waste you’re time, it’s not […]
Verify your people!!! I don’t mean on the app, I mean in person!! the last two roommates I found on here completely lied about their situation and were a nightmare to remove!!
I am very pleased with the efficiency in finding good candidates for my next housemate. Within hours of posting, I had received many legit responses who followed up on my reply, set up appointments, and visited to meet and see the place. SpareRoom makes this stressful experience of looking for roommates and finding new housing […]
Theres no option to Block users. I had somone sending me threatening texts because i wouldnt set up a third tour (after they failed to show up for two tours). Support did nothing after i reported the user and this user is still sending me messages.
Only free to make your ad. To post it, which you have to pay $12-14.00 weekly or $59.00 monthly just for your ad to be “Active Visible” to have full access to possible tenants. Horrible It’s annoying the app allowed tenants to contact you free for a room, but never paid to upgrade to receives […]
Tried to use the app and set up my account, as soon as I set it up I tried to enter the app but it said I was already logged in, then took me to the log in screen. When I put my info in again it said it was incorrect. After another try it […]
it sucks because you only get replies or enough needed traction if you pay…and that’s if you’re lucky, but the payment allows people to respond to your ad or allows you to respond to majority ads that clearly fits your needs. their response is a complete lie. I have paid 2 separate times, and those […]
Love! Used it to find a room for myself years ago and now use it to find tenants for the spare bedrooms in my home! Wish it let me upload more pictures, but otherwise this app is wonderful for finding roommates. The fee for early bird contacts is a bit annoying but really there are […]
The app and the usefulness of the whole idea of finding a place to live is both worthless and absurd. I signed up and paid for the background check which didn’t work or even update my account. So many ways to pay to upgrade your account that are intrusive and obstructive. Seriously! Don’t waste your […]
