Apartments.com Rental Search

Solid app. Needs a way to exclude things in filters. For instance, I'm not a student and would like to be able to exclude those from my search. However, we only have the option to search all housing or search only student housing — it's always inclusive checkbox filters. The checkboxes (student, senior, short term, etc.) should all be checked by default, and give users the ability to uncheck them to exclude those results.

Both the app and the website, when used on an Android, contain bugs. When you return to the list from a listing page, it shows zero rentals available and you have to restart the app and the search. The app has less filters than the website, so I cannot filter for a rental with a garage. You can add keywords, but it doesn't always get it right.

The app is okay, but I wish there were more filters for things like pet-free, age restrictions, average rating, along with things like the year the property was built and the number of stories. You can't even see the average rating of a place until you tap into the property, when it should be visible from the search menu. You also can't mark certain properties as "Not Interested" either, which makes narrowing things down more difficult.

It really bothers me that they allow unavailable listings to stay posted. Often, my feed is filled with postings for the same complexes that have no units available, and have had none the entire time I've used this app. This makes searching for real units a horrible experience since the feed is so cluttered with useless listings. If they gave an option to at least filter out "unavailable", then it would be much better.

The filter sucks. The app and website allows misleading listings especially when searching for a 1 bedroom because it allows shared living spaces to be listed as 1 bedrooms. The app developers do this on purpose and are bad actors that can't be trusted.
