snag sublets

After looking at sublets through the freemium model and chatting a bit with a great subletter, I was suddenly blocked from using the app, learning that I could only continue sending messages to the subletter if I pay $50. I had already agreed on a time for a video call with him, but the app suddenly didn’t let me send anymore messages or engage in a video call unless I paid the $50… I can’t even contact the guy to let him know why I’m unable to respond to him. And no, I don’t want to pay $50 just to look through sublet options and chat with potential sublet options. StreetEasy and Zillow don’t ask that of their users.

Another update after their lame “response” herewith: No idea who they are thinking they helped. NO ONE helped me or even came close to resolving my issue - after three very late responses on their part. Who and how are they saying they helped?? Nothing was done. I had to fully delete my listing AND the app before I could do anything. All of this on MY own. Their “support” is worthless as well as their app. It seems that most of the listings are fake. Plus, their AI completely overwrote my description with a terribly worded, cheap AI text that had zero to do with what I needed to convey to apt seekers. It was worded worse than a 3rd grader and inaccurate to boot. Typical AI slop. My previous entry: I can’t edit even after multiple attempts to contact support and founders. It would seem this is a side hustle and we’re all testers. As well, their fee take is way too much. Not at all a good replacement for the other biggies. Upd: on the other more reputable apps, I’ve never had such questionable people try to work a deal so heavily not in my favor. A lot of cheap folks and ‘trying it’ is going on in this shoddy app. If you cannot afford NYC, you should not be here. Certainly, you should not ask for steep discounts at MY detriment. Also, why are most of the women’s’ profile pix the kind you’d see on Snap, bumble or escort sites? It’s unsettling.

Snag is a very easy and straightforward app to use that also provides a layer of trust when it comes to subletting. It’s nice to have a contract option when renting a room to a stranger. It made both me and the person subletting from me in NYC feel more comfortable! 100% recommend this app!
