Realtor.com Real Estate & Rent

I’m updating my review for what was otherwise a good app. There’s still this issue with the pictures that I guess the company doesn’t care to fix now. It’s become frustrating to the point that it’s no longer enjoyable to use. I just enjoy browsing but I can imagine this would be even more frustrating for people using it t search for a home. It would be nice if it were fixed but I’m not sure it ever will be, and that’s too bad. Addition to my first review at the bottom: There’s a minor change lately that’s a kind of annoying. When I view the photos of a property and see all of them as small thumbnails, it looks as normal. Then I choose one to see the image bigger (say #30 of 40, for example) and that also shows the particular image as usual. When I click on it to go back to the thumbnail view of all the photos, it now takes me back to the very top (image #1) so that I have to scroll back down to see the rest of the thumbnails and find where I was looking within the list. This is extremely minor, but did not previously work this way. I still love the app to look at homes and real estate! I like looking at all of the real estate apps just for fun. The best feature about this one is the ability to see all of the pictures in a smaller view but together at one time. Then I can still see the full view of each pic if I want. It's a nice feature none of the others seem to have.

The app itself is pretty well laid out, easy to use, and has some nice customization as far as search options and layout (list view, map view, etc). The app fails in certain areas though. For example when searching for a condo there used to be “dog friendly”. Now there is pet friendly but the option only applies to NY on my search options (I don’t live and am not looking in NY). On the website their is a “pet friendly” option that is not specifically for NY but no “dog friendly” or “cat friendly” so it still shows or prions that would be irrelevant. Also no option to search for units by floor. We need a first floor unit and I’m sure others also have strong preferences for desired floor when selecting a place. Another huge complaint with this app is every time I close it and reopen it shows me places in surrounding states despite saving searches that are specific to the state I live in. I have to re-enter the state every time. Not time consuming or difficult…just annoying and repetitive. Lastly, it would be nice to hide listings that come up in my search that don’t work. I believe there used to be a way to do that. Now my searches are cluttered with listings that don’t work for us for one reason or another. In summation…good app that needs more search options and to work out a few issues. All in all still would recommend it over other similar apps.

I wouldn’t have sent in a rating, but it popped on screen. I actually closed it out once-then when I reopened the app it popped up again. I get notifications everyday throughout the day on properties in the areas i have set, or have searched previously. Everytime I click on one (I for someone reason still do EVERY time) it acts like it is opening and then just takes me to a white, blank page and never opens. I have to wait until I see it’s still not going to open, close out the app again-then reopen the app by actually clicking the icon. Then have to go to notifications and open the listing from there. This has been going on for a really long time. I actually looked up a number for you guys online,I think , and told them. While I was on the phone she tried it & the same thing happened to her. I thought got sure since she is employed there, that it would be addressed. I am still experiencing thd same issue, though, so thought I’d try this method now. I’m ok with closing it out and reopening it… still get the same information, just wastes my battery. Hopefully this will be forwarded to the correct department who is knowledgeable enough to correct the issue. Thank you, Caroline
