Genuine house listings

A friend of mine suggested this, and I used it. Highly recommend it. Genuine house listings. I didn’t find any scam or spam. Found a good place, a very nice house mate as well.
What happened
ali0813192020
I was so delighted to find such a good app for searching for housing and/or flat mates. Initially the app was free to use but that all changed with the upgrade. Now one must pay be it 7 day, 2 weeks, a month.....just to PM anyone on the site. It’s not useful nor productive by any means. I don’t see the reason why the developers set it this way. Does anyone know why?
Could not connect

This app constantly won’t allow me to connect each time I attempt to sign in. Worked once and now just won’t connect ever. Uninstall/Reinstall did not fix either. And I paid for the 1wk upgrade. Not very useful if I can’t sign in
Frustrating and disappointing

It is the worst application I have had, I paid by mistake 3 times I tried to contact customer service many times but they never answered me, they have not returned the money and I paid 60.00 dollars for a couple of messages the first day, I tried to communicate in all ways for the refund and help in the application and it has not been possible to receive a response
It showed my address publicly !

People are rude, play with your head

I started looking for a place on this app in September 2020. It is now March 2021. I went to multiple places and most people were extremely rude and judgmental. You’re lucky if they even respond to you. One time I was all ready to rent a room out, just for the woman (who was my age) to tell me she had already rented the room out. So why did you have me come over? How is someone moving in when you told me you don’t even know the cost of security deposit? A lot of people seemed like they wanted to meet me for their own entertainment just to play with my head and then never talk to me again. I’ve been looked at like I have 3 heads and 6 arms. I did absolutely nothing wrong and was always kind to everyone. I deleted my profile picture so people won’t judge me. Don’t even know what picture to use because I became really hurt and self conscious. I knew it would be hard to find a place to live but I never knew it would be this hard. I am trying one more time to see if I can find some good people renting rooms out. I’m frustrated, but hopeful. Otherwise, the app works and is easy to navigate. I like the layout and design of the app and it’s easy to find places to rent in the area(s) you’re looking at. I met maybe 2 nice people in the fall but I was still unable to rent from them. If you use this app, be careful what personal info you give out. Be nice, and hopefully they’ll be nice back. Or they’ll just ignore you. One guy even had the nerve to make fun of me and said I looked like Bhad Bhabie and therefore I was problematic. Just because I look like someone doesn’t mean I am the same person. So now I’m starting over. Won’t be sharing pics of myself until I know the people I’m messaging are cool. I know I’m a good person and don’t deserve to be treated like this on an app such as this one. I would still give it a try though. It could have been the area, these people were in uptown NYC. Good luck to whoever reads this.
Trash

The fact that you need to pay just to speak with someone about a a living space is just ridiculous. Trash app. Garbage
