Most-Requested Missing Features

Features users are literally asking for in their reviews, ranked by demand.

#1: Secure user verification

High Demand
"There should be proper authentication for individuals who’re posting places to rent."
"This app should do a background check on the people who are renting out."

#2: Accurate real-time pricing updates

High Demand
"Prices are never updated and are off by 500 or more."
"Your prices are incorrect. You show a one bedroom for $890. Then you call them and they say it’s $1300."

#3: Comprehensive map and location-based search

Medium Demand
"I want to be able to either select more than one city or circle an area."
"The app forces you to name a specific town or city. I want a mileage radius."

#4: In-app customer support

Medium Demand
"There’s no way to report scam listings."
"I’ve contacted support several times and no response."

#5: Advanced filtering options

Low Demand
"Filters don’t work. If I place in a 3-bedroom in a specific price range, give me that."
"The filter didn’t work. Tho I set the pricing perimeter many times, the app still sends me results beyond my price range."
