Roomster for Android

Right off the bat I’m a fan of the interface of this app as well as the website. It’s easy and straight to the point although you may have to resize any photos you wish to post for a profile pic or of the room you are renting out if you are looking for a roommate, but that’s pretty easy. I found everything very easy to navigate as far as actually posting and have gotten lots of responses to my add so far! Would recommend.

I have to pay 30$ a month to look at my inbox? Absolutely not. I am deleting this app. Found a roommate for free on Roomies.com!

Update: My review has nothing to do with your charges. Your filters allow and encourage people to discriminate against just about every protected class under the Federal Fair Housing Act. I think the US government should force you to cease operations until you stop allowing people to post listings which openly state that people who are black, LGBT, religious, of certain age or male are “not allowed.” In the 10 minutes I browsed your listings, before my account was deleted without notice, every single listing I viewed had some mention of disallowing a protected class from applying. One of the listings literally said “no blacks, no gays, no Muslims” at the bottom. Another said “Asian women only.” It’s not just gross, it’s against the law. I created my account, finished my profile, verified my email and phone number, posted a listing, then was logged out as I attempted to send my first message. The login page says “User Removed” but I haven’t received a text or an email stating that my account was deleted. Sketchy app that allows people violate US housing discrimination laws. Saw multiple people specifying what race/age/gender/sexual orientation they were willing to provide housing to. Creepy. Glad I didn’t spend $15 to verify my identity since they decided to delete my account without reason within 10 minutes of installing.

App is essentially useless if you don’t pay to unlock the messaging feature. I spent hours sending messages just to learn that I couldn’t read any messages I was receiving without paying first. Deceptive marketing, don’t list your app as free to download in the first place. Worst part? Automatically deletes any words that suggest any form of messaging outside of the app in your bio (ex: you can’t list your social media handle on there). There are better sites to find a roommate, pass on this one.

You find available options fast when you broadcast your listing. Downside is there’s no way to stop broadcasting after you’ve found a place. The notifications keep rolling in, you just have to turn them off I guess. Other than that, works great!
