2025-01-22	Sm*****	App crash as I was doing the rental application. I also noticed similar pictures of the rental with different addresses. 3 stars for the convenience it offers and how user-friendly it is.

2024-10-29	De*****	Very helpful from the tenant side. I can see why landlords hate it so much. Landlords have gotten away with taking advantage of tenants for too long. However, I will say that, like anywhere else, take all reviews with a grain of salt. Personally I've found it super helpful in my apartment this year and helped me avoid some potentially hazardous and unpleasant living situations.
