Review summary

Users praise fast performance and strong photo navigation, especially for NZ listings. However, multiple reviews highlight downsides: instability and crashes after updates; unreliable search/map functionality with few or no results; slow or failed image loading; outdated listings; and portrait-mode/login issues. Overall, the app shows potential for NZ real estate but needs improvements in stability, data freshness, and search UX.

Fast performance with quick loading and excellent photo navigation
Strong NZ-focused real estate coverage
Generally good for finding properties and easy to browse
Popular choice for NZ property searches

Cons

Crashes and instability, especially after updates or when opening from notifications
Search and map features are often broken or return few/missing results
Images load slowly or sometimes fail to load
Listings can feel outdated/not up-to-date
Portrait-only mode and login issues hinder use

2026-01-03	Ze*****	I use this app from the USA as I’m looking to purchase property in NZ. Loads quickly, excellent photo navigation, best real estate app I’ve tried.

2025-04-12	Al*****	This is my go to real estate app but the way the search works really lets the experience down. Even with the amount of times I’ve used the search, I still struggle to get the results I want. If you’re the PM on this feature and you’re reading my review please for the love of good fix the search experience. Everything else is great.

2023-07-09	NZ*****	This is single-handedly the most frustrating app and website to use. It’s is so bloody slow to load images it’s unusable. This is on 5G. Old, out of date listings.

2022-02-13	Jb*****	I loved using this app, until the latest release. Now I can’t see any properties at all in the Auckland area, the search feature generates no results! Please fix so I can use this again. I’ll have to use the website version in the meantime

2020-06-27	nz*****	This app is terrible for navigation and just exploring. They used to have an option to allow you to filter on listed date but took that away as well. Back to the whiteboard guys and keep it simple
