"This app is so slow. Especially when you try to create an invoice. Opening the invoice section, clicking a drop down to open it etc. The whole process is extremely slow and cumbersome for someone like me who has many properties."

High Severity

26% of negative reviews mention this issue.

"If you're someone who is comfortable paying for convenience, this app is alright, although, I've only ever used it for rent payments, and not for any of the other things it offers (maintenance requests, etc.). But, the fees are high; 2.99% of monthly"
"It's a convenient way to pay rent especially for single parents with no transportation. Me personally I don't like how they charge u to pay your rent. Like… I just want to have a convenient way to pay rent without the hassle of extra fees!"

#4: Frequent forced updates that break functionality

Medium Severity

18% of negative reviews mention this issue.

"I use Innago as a landlord. The mobile app is a handy extension for the website. However the frequent forced updates are a problem. I often am on cellular data with a weak signal. When I'm using the mobile app vs the website the whole reason is to"
"While dev support is cool you guys break this app more times by updating it needlessly and constantly."

#5: Poor customer service and support responsiveness

Medium Severity

13% of negative reviews mention this issue.

"Very difficult to use and customer service is extremely slow to respond. You have to call for customer service, which never answers. You leave a message for them to call back which will take hours to get that call back."

#6: Mobile app lacks features compared to web version

Medium Severity

11% of negative reviews mention this issue.

"As a new landlord an app like this is super helpful. That being said, the iPad app is disappointing. It doesn't have a landscape view which is odd since many use their iPad with a keyboard in this orientation. Also limited compared to the website so"

UX Pain Points

Design and usability issues driving negative reviews.

Session management and frequent logouts

Users are forced to reinstall the app repeatedly or experience automatic logouts, disrupting basic workflows like rent payment

"I have to uninstall and reinstall this app so many times it keep loading and would never load the dashboard."

Buttons and UI elements become unresponsive after completing tasks

Critical workflow blocker where users must force-close and restart the app to continue using it after simple actions

"After completing tasks non of the buttons work anymore. Must close app and restart"

Invoice creation workflow is painfully slow for multi-property landlords

Dropdown menus, navigation, and invoice management are so slow they make the app unusable for professional property managers

"This app is so slow. Especially when you try to create an invoice. Opening the invoice section, clicking a drop down to open it etc. The whole process is extremely slow and cumbersome for someone like me who has many properties."

Unprofessional glitches damage landlord credibility with tenants

Technical issues visible to tenants create perception of slumlord or unprofessional management

"The types of glitches I've experienced are very unprofessional when dealing with a new/prospective tenant. It just looks very bad, like they're about to enter some slumlord situation."
