1. 5/5LOVE Compass and their app! 👍🏼

   Huge fan of Compass and everything that they’re doing. A lot like Redfin or Zillow, but better looking features in the app and with better people involved in the company from what I can tell. Been very impressed by Robert Reffkin anytime he’s on CNBC. Smart guy. In our market here in Chicago, Compass seems to have taken over the market out of nowhere. My wife looks at real estate everyday, and is always on Compass searching for places. The Coming Soon places are cool - only available on their site and their app I guess. Haven’t tried the private exclusives yet - I believe if you work with one of their agents you can see hidden properties that no one else can see? Also had a friend do Compass Concierge to fix their place up for free before they sold. They got more money on their place and did really well. Really happy with it from what they said. A few bugs I’ve noticed in the app, but not bad. Last update fixed a lot. Way better than Zillow, and I like better than Redfin too. Thanks guys keep up the good work!

2. 4/5Great way to communicate with your agent, but..

   We recently started using Compass through our new agent. It’s a really great way to share properties including notes about each one and overall have everything at your fingertips when using an agent during your housing search or just browsing. Luckily for us our agent has kept us up to date every step of the way - even at 10pm some nights! - and this app has been an indispensable tool for how we’re able to communicate with everyone involved in the search. However the app isn’t perfect. I’ve experienced multiple crashes while using it, but what would be incredibly useful is when you receive an update or message about a property a feature on the Workshop or Collections page that links you directly with the notification itself. The only way you’re able to view the message is by clicking the push notification or link via email and, once in the app, then scrolling to that particular property and looking for the yellow dot that indicates a message is waiting. If you’re like me and have more than 10+ properties that you’re eyeing this becomes pretty cumbersome. Also, it’d be nice to edit the order of the saved properties in your Collections however you’d like, either by ultimate favorites, notification waiting, last viewed, etc.. I’m hoping there will be an update with the Compass app soon but in the meantime it’s been very useful despite the roundabout way to view and read your notifications.

3. 4/5Great with a Few Bugs

   Current Bug: The app notifications recently stopped resetting after viewing them. For example, I have a red “3” in the app icons top right corner. I open the app and look at all three notifications, but the red “3” never goes away after. Previous Review: I like that it shows all property history from sales that are sometimes over 20 years ago, including photos. The property information is laid out much nicer than Zillow. Whenever I am in the Zillow app looking at properties outside my Compass matches, I find myself wishing I was in the Compass app instead. The comments section where I can message back and forth with my agent is very buggy. It only displays one line to type into and it’s really difficult to go back to the previous line to change some text. The text control also collapses back to the bottom of the screen when I try to select a word or try to copy or paste, which is extremely frustrating. On the iPad, the app becomes unresponsive and locks up frequently (mostly when opening it).

4. 3/5Usable but needs some fixes

   Overall this app is okay to use and has some nice features, like being able to save comments on listings. It’s great that my agent can see and respond to my comments, answer questions, etc. There’s a few improvements needed however: 1. There are different ways of starring/favoriting a property but they don’t all do the same thing even though they use the same star icon. Some save to a personal list, some save to my Favorites in the collection my agent made for me. I’ve been using this app for 4 months and I still haven’t figured it out. 2. Push notifications don’t work. This is a major problem for an app like this where time can be of the essence. I’ve double checked my app settings and my phone settings and there’s no reason I’m not getting notifications. 3. In my collection I wish my sorting preferences were saved. As it is now, every time I want to see if my agent left a comment (because I don’t have push notifications) I have to go to Favorites and set the sorting to “newest comments” each time. 4. Allow sorting by newest comment for Matches. My agent and I chat about properties I’m considering but not sure of. To see if she’s left me any comments I have to scroll through the entire list looking for a red notification dot. Please make this easier!

5. 1/5No Personal Data Security

   About a year ago my husband and I worked with compass on a rental, but found something using another app and ended our engagement with compass. Even though we went with another service, I was a huge fan of the whole experience and had recommended it to several friends. Unfortunately their poor data security has made me wary of even using the app again. Here’s what happened: About a year after our first engagement with Compass, I was using the app to casually browse properties for sale in my area. A few days after my search, I received an unsolicited email from the realtor we hadn’t spoken to in over a year a year prior asking about the homes I was looking at on the app. That means over a year after our contract ended (without any ongoing relationship), the realtor was still able to track my behavior on the app without my knowledge or consent. I confirmed with a previous compass employee that compass does not practice adequate data and security practices for their clients - so it stands to reason that if this realtor can see our personally identifying information beyond the duration of our contact and monitor our app usage, who else at the company has access to that information? What about external vendors? I emailed support immediately but the email was ignored. Given the sensitivity of the information a realtor holds about their clients, I would not advise anyone to use this service until they update and publish their privacy and data security policies.
