everything was fine until about 6-8 months ago. then, listing kept repeating every few weeks. listings id saved a couple of weeks ago, last week even. Will be uninstalling if this isn't remedied soon. I contacted trulia, of course no reply. why do companies keep trying to screw over their customers?
needs an update or something. I don't know if it's only an issue with me but it's not saving any update I make in my "liked" homes. I'll remove the heart and it'll still be on my list. I'll like a house and it'll never show up or save. it also doesn't save any of my notes. so when I'm trying to keep track what I like or dislike a house or want to send it to my realtor I easily lose track because nothing is saving. it's annoying.
Forget about any usefulness. You can't create a login it just repeats the error "something went wrong" for months now. Customer service is even more extinct than the dinosaurs. There are apps for finding a house that work. I suggest never putting this amateur hour app on your phone, it's not worth the memory it takes up. Uninstalled with prejudice.
I used to use this app as my only real estate finding tool for years. The last few updates have been horrendous. Now in alerts, they have removed the location and price of the home and the thumbnail photos of the property are so tiny you cant see anything unless you click the listing and wait for it to load. Wastes a ton of time when you have to view every single listing just to find out it's not even a place you'd remotely be interested in.
I gave 2 stars because I do like using the app. It's great to search for rental properties and for homes for sale. The reason I only gave 2 stars is the amount of emails that Trulia was sending. Every time I checked my email, I had to scroll through at least 20 emails from Trulia. When I checked, they were sending over 200 emails to me weekly. That's just absurd. That's nearly 30 emails per day. I get it, a new property matched a search! User beware! Trulia will use all your email storage!
Pretty good app but filters are incorrect. Add filter for garage & half the results disappear. Remove it, see a ton of listings that have garages. Make the people listing the property fill out all fields. Also I would like to exclude a property if I do not like it. I do not want a property with half the appliances missing. I keep seeing the same results. Unless the listing changed, I do not wish to see it anymore. Give an option to hide it unless the listing has updated info. Overall good UI.
Nice app overall. Some issues that I don't like: can't filter out 55+ properties. Reporting issues such as misleading information leads nowhere. Toured a house that was listed as 3 bedroom, was 2 bedroom when we got there, trulia didn't correct it after reporting. Many mobile homes are advertised as single family homes and trulia doesn't fix that. If you're looking for a mobile home, there's no place to mention the space rent, unless it's written in the description, needs to be mandatory.
About to delete. There's a lot about the app I like. However my biggest pet peeve is the relentless useless notifications. I'll get a notification for the same home sometimes 3 times a day (everyday) when nothing has changed. The WORST however is getting notifications for homes in areas I have no interest in. If I'm on the road and I see a 4sale sign I might be curious as to it's price, or to compare demos of another area. I should be able to limit these to areas I'm interested in.
This app is weird. It stays stuck sending notifications on one search and no matter how many times i search somewhere else. The options to customize searches based on a profile are so limited. I have pets and finding rentals that accept pets is hard as it is but Trulia doesnt allow me to out that permanently and so I keep getting notifications of good places that dont accept pets. I wish it stopped but there isnt a way to have it stop either. Uninstall again.
Overall I think the app is great! I love the crime heat map, the fact that you can enter in your commute and the school ratings for the area. What is very frustrating with this app is that VERY often I will save a property but will receive an error message. This happens over and over and over. Also, a lot of times when I try to go into my feed or saved homes it'll show that I have nothing saved- as if EVERYTHING got wiped out. I then have to exit out of the app and wait a bit to try again.
