User Reviews

Roomster is a roommate-focused app that can surface leads in active markets, but it is widely criticized for a costly paywall to view messages, rampant scams and fake accounts, a clunky outdated interface, and sparse listings in many areas. These issues erode trust and value, though some users still report finding potential roommates or candidates. Overall, usefulness varies by location, with the negative experiences dominating user reviews.

Pros

Some users report finding potential roommates or leads through Roomster.
The app is dedicated to roommate finding, offering a focused niche compared to general marketplaces.
There are listings and profiles available in certain markets, providing options for users in those areas.

Cons

Pay-to-view or pay-to-message model: users must subscribe to read or respond to messages, often seen as expensive and not worth the value.
Prevalence of scams, fake accounts, and bots leading to spammy or irrelevant messages.
Poor user experience: clunky, outdated UI/UX with bugs and frequent glitches that hinder usability.
Limited listings in many markets, especially outside major areas, reducing usefulness and perceived value.
Trust concerns and mentions of deceptive practices/lawsuits against the company, contributing to doubts about reliability.

I got notifications that I had six messages to read. You can’t read the messages without a subscription. So I thought, it would be worth a week to respond to everyone. Turns out it was just random people advertising the rooms I already rejected because they weren’t a right fit.

Craigslist,fb marketplace and even word of mouth has better results than this app. The developers purposely designed it to archive message even when ppl reply so you’ll miss messages. You can’t use messenger unless you pay and they pretend like you have messages however it’s just a trick to lure you in to paying. If I can rate 0 stars I would.
