## Review summary

Users appreciate the concept and some features of Roomi for finding rooms and roommates; some even had positive experiences previously. However, the app currently suffers from many widespread issues including frequent crashes, broken messaging, ineffective filters, problems with photo uploads, and forced paid background checks. Several users report buggy performance and poor customer support, making it frustrating or unusable. The app also lacks comprehensive metro area coverage and sometimes has questionable listings. Overall, while the idea is good, the app's poor functionality and user experience lead to significant dissatisfaction.

### Pros

- The app offers a good concept and many features for roommate and room searching.
- The service has helped users find rooms and sublets successfully in the past.
- Background check feature is intended to verify users, increasing authenticity.
- The platform attempts to cater to various metro areas for room and roommate searches.

### Cons

- The app is extremely buggy, frequently crashes and freezes, making it almost unusable.
- Messaging functionality is unreliable or broken, with notifications often not working at all.
- Filters are frustrating to use; they do not save, work improperly, or require repeated resetting.
- Uploading photos and editing listings frequently fail or result in endless loading spinners.
- Users complain about forced paid background checks and fees without clear value or refunds.
- Poor customer service and lack of timely bug fixes exacerbate user frustrations.
- Fake or disappearing listings and lack of area coverage also diminish the app's usefulness.
