## Review summary

User feedback centers on reliability and filtering: the app often crashes or won't open; filters fail to hide sold items or to filter by Active With Offer. Updates have introduced UI problems, such as hard-to-read fonts and map controls on iPhone X that can't be closed. Some users also report being logged out after closing the app and receiving server or connectivity errors. Despite these issues, a few reviewers note that when Shorewest is functioning, listings are current and the app’s status indicators (for offer status) are useful.

### Pros

- Works great when it functions; praised as one of the best real estate apps when online.
- Clearly differentiates listing statuses (Active vs Active With Offer) in results.
- Listings are up-to-date when the app is working.
- Allows searching by school district.

### Cons

- Crashes or won’t open; frequent 'death load' issues.
- Filters not working; cannot filter out sold or Active With Offer; updates regressed filtering.
- UI regressions after updates: hard-to-read fonts and map controls obscuring the close button on iPhone X.
- Listings/maps not loading or sometimes showing only location or no homes.
- Automatic logout after closing the app; session persistence issues.
