1. 5/5Use in conjunction with the website

   If you use this app in conjunction with the website, you end up with an extremely powerful tool for researching apartment rentals in the city. It has been a huge help with my upcoming move. The neighborhood selection tool on the website is one of the best map based selection tools that I have used. You can literally lay out the map down to the individual street level. The selection tools in the app are not quite as precise, but still give a decent amount of control. I have really enjoyed using both this app and the associated website. Highly recommended...

2. 1/5Waste

   Everyday I message 10 listings a day at least that always states “just listed” next day I receive message that says apartment has been rented or it’s in contract. I don’t understand this app. Although it’s illegal to discriminate against voucher applicants they still do. This company should require every listing to accept vouchers or not post at all and to update their listings daily. I have a 7 month old and wasting time to travel 2hrs via public transportation lifting a stroller up and down flights of stairs to only view an apartment just to be told vouchers are not accepted or be emailed some ridiculous thing about paying half month rent for “good faith hold” while application is being reviewed is insane. Non of these apps are useful for people not making over 60k, especially you have a housing voucher. Don’t know what’s the purpose.

3. 3/5Works, but annoying

   This app does the job, but there's an annoying feature. I use this primarily on my iPad which I almost exclusively use in landscape mode. Annoyingly, this app will *always* default to portrait no matter if your orientation is locked or you're already holding your iPad in landscape. You have to unlock orientation, spin the iPad to portrait, then spin it back to landscape which is really annoying when you're using the app multiple times a day. Other apps I use will detect the orientation and adjust accordingly. This is the only one I've had a problem with. Other than that, it works like the website does. It's a great resource for navigating the bleak landscape of ny apartments. I hope they fix this issue in a near future update.

4. 5/5Sec 8 rentals

   I am a single mother , attending college to better myself and uplift my family.I have been searching for a nice apartment for myself and my children. I teach them every day to never give up hope because there is someone out there who will give us the opportunity, to live in a descent apartment until we can afford to have the American Dream. Please provide some listings which accept Sec 8 vouchers.. Thank you

5. 2/5Great to look through but double check your find!

   A lot of misinformation, basically these are listings trying to get you in. Incorrect photos, same photos being used for multiple listings AND BEWARE OF THE FREE MONTHS, your rent will be raised by an INSANE amount the next year. Unless you only want one year. And also beware of these new “luxury” SMALL apartments for insanely high rent. NY will never recover this way. We need to support the good landlords, not the greedy ones! I’ve lived here 25 years and this is not how we operated. We need this amazing city to be affordable and the melting pot and the unique experiences you’ll have to make it the city it’s always meant to be!! We are tough, and as they say, you make it here you can make it anywhere!
