## Review summary

Users repeatedly complain about paywalls blocking messaging and prohibitively high costs to use core features. Many report poor or non-existent customer support and automated chatbots. The experience is marred by bots and spam, with few legitimate responses, and a limited pool of listings, making the app feel like a money grab rather than a reliable housing marketplace.

### Cons

- Messages are only readable after paying for a subscription, making the core feature inaccessible without paying.
- The price to access messaging is very high, with mentions of 30 USD per month or other hefty charges.
- Support is poor or unavailable, with 24/7 chatbots and no real options to reach a human.
- The app is plagued by bots and scammers, leading to spammy and unreliable interactions.
- There are very few rental candidates or matches, reducing value for the price.
