Slow as molasses

Ever since the update, I no longer rely on this app. It is so unresponsive. Difficult to skip from house to house in map view. No longer has Solds listed- how are we supposed to know values?? I hate how out of date zillow is, but in forced to use it now

New version not to par

Enjoyed the older version better this new version seems to be very similar to competitors, and never liked theirs

New version - FAIL

Im a long time user of the app, since its earliest versions. Without near term improvements, Im going to uninstall and look for something else. I like to use the app on an iPad to scan a large neighborhood in a few passes, by dividing it into thirds and refreshing. Two deficiencies conspire to make this impossible in the new version. 1) too much screen space is wasted with a bulky list that is not hideable or removable. 2) price flags are too large relative to the visible map size, and they position themselves as overlaps unless you zoom in to an uncomfortably close level.

Terrible schools info

Downloaded because they advertised you could search by schools. You cannot. At least on the mobile app, you cannot. It doesnt even give all three assigned schools (elem., middle, high) for the majority of any of the homes on my search results. It appears to randomly provide either one or two of them.

What happened?

Used to be my favorite app for home buying. Since the last update it is terrible. It is confusing, does not respond well and you have to push too many back buttons to get anything done. Bring back the old user friendly app.

App no longer works

Update: I got an iPhone 6 Plus and the app is still The worst MLS app you can get. So glitchy! I recommend using Zillow. This used to be a great app but has completely stopped working. I have a Iphone 5 and I have tried deleting and downloading several times with no luck. Just continue to get a lack of communication with the server message. Restarting phone has done me no good either. Time to go to Zillow or Trullia :(

Accuracy is key

I love this app because of its accuracy. Plain and simple. They dont have old property or outdated data

Broke stuff is fixed, new stuff broken.

Big problems. This used to be the greatest app, but now they just dont care. The map shows listings, but many times Ill tap a listing and get a different house. Its maddening how bad this app has gotten.

Old version way better

I had this app for a long time and loved it. It accidentally got deleted and when I downloaded it again it was totally different. Im not sure what they were thinking with the latest update. They took an amazing real estate app and rendered it virtually useless. The search radius option was removed, as were the ability to select property features, lot size, etc. I have to use the web version to find what I am looking for which is incredibly frustrating. Because of my husbands work we have a specific mile radius to search. Im deleting the app for now because without those features it is useless to me. Hopefully they will do another update ASAP and bring back all the missing features. So disappointing!!!!

USED to be great

This app used to be great! The properties status seemed to be updated as they would on an MLS site and it generally seemed to have better information than Zillow. I dont know if there was an update, but now almost all of the pictures of the homes are blurry!

Where have all the features gone?

The current release lost the ability to search by school district or radius from a desired location. Why remove them? These were critical features. Bring the old features back!

No floor plans for rented properties

Downloaded and deleted the same day. I dont know about the buy side of the app but the rent side. What kind of app doesnt show floor plans?

Not Current

Newest listings on the MLS arent updated. Also, despite choosing the setting to not show pending listings, they still show up in the search results. You have to scroll down about midway through each listing to be able to tell if its pending or available.

Get updated results

I like that it tells you the status of the property. Knowing that a property already has an offer or loan pending helps you in your search.

Clunky and sad

This app is clunky, search is difficult for me, refuses to just let you map browse. Not sure where data is generated and maintained, but often does not show properties that are for sale and status as open when really pending or off market. Have yet to get a single call back when using the contact tool provided in the app... Tried dozens of times, I dont bother anymore. Only use this as one of several such tools, they are all just about equally mediocre.

Best app ever

Love this app its always updated listing with a lot of information.

This app has improved immensely

Did not use the realtor.com app for several years. It was bulky, intrusive, and extremely difficult to refine searches. Ive only used a day or so but am very pleased with this app--over Zillow right now. Easy to customize and save searches by area or home. Cant give a more thorough review. Have only begun to use this as a tip of the iceberg of goodies. Looking forward to more. lr

App does not include all listings (use desktop version)

When looking for a home, its important to see every available option. You never know when "the one" will present itself. Which is why I cannot recommend this app as a home finder. I want to love it but it is too flawed to rely on - it does not include every MLS listed home (not even close). Currently in my area there are several homes listed. Three of them appear here while the other three do not. However, all six appear on the desktop version of realtor.com. Also, the street names are completely wrong in some neighborhoods, which can lead to major problems when trying to follow up on a listing. These two issues are too major to ignore. Do not rely solely on this app, or you will be selling yourself short!

Realtor.com

The user experience is very disappointing. Its clunky and does not do justice to the MLS information available.

Easy

Easy to use. Quick. I prefer to use realtor.con from my home computer, but this app is great for browsing while Im away from home
