User Reviews

Reviewers consistently flag paywall-heavy pricing, bugs, and low real-user engagement as major downsides. Many report few responses and bot-like activity, with some alleging scams. A few positives note a clean UI and occasional successful matches, and one comment suggests it isn’t as paywalled as rivals. Overall, the app struggles with reliability, trust, and user participation, which undermines its effectiveness for finding roommates.

Pros

Nice, clean UI overall and listings are easy to post
Some users report finding a roommate within weeks, indicating there can be successful matches
Perceived to be less paywalled than some competing apps, or at least not as subscription-heavy as others

Cons

Paywalls and high costs to message; many features require paid upgrades, leading to poor ROI
Frequent bugs and reliability issues (search/filters malfunction, descriptions disappearing, messages failing to load)
Very low user activity with few responses, plus reports of bot-like or fake profiles
Prevalence of scammers and fake profiles raises trust concerns
Privacy and login concerns (limited sign-in options and public-looking profile data)

You have to create an entire profile to even browse listings. Which was annoying and it felt invasive, but I wanted to use the app. Then it required a profile picture. It will not let you browse any listings without a profile picture for “safety”. I mean never mind that I don’t want my information out there for other people to see while I’m just browsing. We have to keep one of the thousand roommate search apps “safe” by requiring you to upload a picture. We have no mechanism to verify that it’s even you, but you have to do it for “safety”. That’s just entirely too invasive for no reason.

The app has a nice format, and easy to post. But I seriously get more matches on obsolete bad dating apps than this platform. I live in NYC, the roomate capital of the world, and in the 6 weeks I had my listing up, I got 2 responses. I found a roomate within 24 hours posting on FB Marketplace.

I am looking to help my son find a Christian roommate. When I was single, before internet, it was simple. There were listings posted at my school, in the newspaper. Now it is impossible to find a Christian roommate.
