August

I'm rarely at a laptop these days, everything happens on my phone between viewings and the day job, so the mobile experience matters a lot to me. Adding a new tenancy by photographing the agreement and having it auto-fill the details felt like a genuine time-saver the first time it worked, and it's kept working since. Notifications are clear without being annoying, you get told when rent's late, not pestered constantly. The only thing that trips me up is that editing a document once it's uploaded means deleting and re-uploading rather than just amending it in place.

I’ve tried a few different tools over the years and most of them just add more admin. This is the first one that genuinely simplifies things. Everything I need is in one place, rent tracking, reminders, and keeping on top of compliance without having to constantly double-check what I’ve missed. What I like most is how straightforward it is. It doesn’t feel overcomplicated or like you need to “learn” the system it just works. I can quickly see what’s due, what’s been paid, and what needs sorting without digging through emails or spreadsheets. It’s made managing properties feel far less stressful and much more organised. Definitely wouldn’t go back.

I’ve been using the August app for a few months now, and honestly, it’s made managing rentals so much smoother. As a landlord, the automatic rent tracking is a huge time-saver — no more checking bank statements or chasing payments. I get notified when rent is paid, and it keeps everything crystal clear. It’s also helped me stay on top of compliance by keeping key documents like safety certificates and tenancy agreements all in one place. I’ve saved hours not having to switch between emails, folders, or spreadsheets. From my tenants’ side, I’ve had great feedback too. They love being able to pay rent directly through the app, and the automatic reminders mean they never forget. Maintenance issues are now logged through the app too, so everything is documented and nothing gets lost in messages. Communication has definitely become more transparent and efficient. Overall, August has taken a lot of the stress out of renting. Highly recommend it to anyone managing properties or renting — it just works.
