So Much Potential

Spare Room is a decent app. It has its perks and the idea of what it tries to do is amazing. It falls short in a few important areas, but that could easily be fixed if the developers listen. Ive been using it for 2 months but I recently upgraded because I need to find a place within the two months. I dont have a problem with paying for more premium features I guess. The majors flaws I see in this app are the following. Unresponsive landlords. Too many people are able to leave you on read. Whether I meet your qualifications or not, it is important to communicate and let me know if I am able to move forward with you or not. Spare room needs to penalize unresponsive landlords cause at the end of the day, I am paying to not get replies back to my message, which makes it feel like a waste of money. This isnt instagram. Incomplete listings. Why am I constantly seeing listings with minimal to 0 pictures? That should not be allowed. How are you selling a room or apt and no pictures? That screams scam and spare room needs to prevent ppl from being able to list things without pictures. Pictures should be mandatory? WTH. You’re selling a product, let me see it! Female Only. Too many listings are asking for specifically females which I find weird and creepy. You should not be able to ask for a specific gender as a roommate. It is up to you on who you accept as a landlord but your listings should be available for ALL. It’s discrimination and you mind as well let ppl start asking for certain ethnicities and races if you want to go that route.
Great App! Wish there were more search options

It's honestly a really well designed, thought out and useful app. The only downside are the lack of advanced search functionality. Other than that I love it!
Works great!

Working really well so far haven't had any problems! Love being able to check and see if there's any new flats available quickly and easily!! Would recommend buying if moving to UK from overseas!
Brilliant

I love the app, it's been helpful in estimating costs of flats in different areas as I prepare to move to London from the US. I'd love to see them add the advanced search functions that exist on the website (search by commute time, etc), but aside from that it is fabulous!
Great app

Only improvement would be an expansion of the search features to have as many options as the website. Sometimes inconvenient to search online and save in order to view certain options on the phone.
