Repeatedly featured by Apple in the categories of Your New Home, Apps for the Weekend, What's Hot, and Popular Apps and Games. Covered by The New York Times, Time magazine, The Wall Street Journal and the Los Angeles Times.
SUITABLE FOR EVERYONE
Whether you're starting college, relocating within or to the US, tired of living alone, weighing up what to do with an empty room, or, quite simply, searching for another roommate or roomshare, we’re the service for you.
YOUR PERFECT ROOMIE
We understand that finding your perfect roommate, housemate or roomshare can be a daunting task, but it really doesn’t have to be. Using the SpareRoom app you can filter potential roommates via a range of attributes ensuring you find a perfect new housemate or roomshare! Pick from whether you want your roommate to be a professional, student or other to make sure you're both on the same page when it comes to living together. We'll even allow you to go even more granular by filtering roommates on things like 'are they vegetarian' and 'do they allow pets'.
UNRIVALLED CHOICE
With thousands of room-sharing opportunities to choose from right across the US, you'll be able to find your perfect roommate or roomshare. We're all across the US so you can find a roommate or roomshare from NYC all the way to San Francisco.
OUR PHILOSOPHY
Experience has taught us that finding a great roomshare is as much about the people as it is about the property. To help you find the best of both, we provide unparalleled tools, choice, and support. As a result, on average, every 3 minutes someone finds a roommate through SpareRoom.

Finally an app that works!! I paid for a different roommate app where you have to pay to see messages and when I did, every single message was spam. It was awful. I didn’t have to pay on here to message people (though you do have to wait til their ad has been up for 7 days) but I decided it might be worth it to pay $10 to get that extra exposure and message potential people immediately. Luckily, it worked out well for me cause I found someone I liked quickly and she just moved in! Very happy overall.
Beware, don’t trust them

Not Trustworthy

This app has been an absolute nightmare. I’ve made multiple accounts—each time paying to post ads to find roommates for my place—and every single time, I either got logged out or my account was deleted for no reason. My profile was verified, my ads followed all the rules, and everything seemed fine… until the app just kicked me out with no explanation.After three or four times of this happening, I tried again, made yet another account, paid again for two more ads—and not even 10 minutes later, I was kicked out again. I can’t log back in, I’ve received no help, and I’ve now wasted money on at least 4 to 6 ads that I can’t even access.This feels like a scam. It’s ridiculous that users can pay for a service and then get locked out without warning or support. I’m beyond frustrated, and unless this is fixed and I’m refunded or given real access, I absolutely would not recommend this app to anyone.

On my 4th housemate
@iammilliereid
SpareRoom thank you for helping me turn my empty room into a money maker. As you know living in LA is very expensive so getting a housemate makes my life easier. Everyone that moved in fit me perfectly and paid rent and utilities on time. I recommend this app, it will help you. Some advice for people who have a spare room, furnish it!!!! You’ll have a better chance of getting a roomie, if you make it easier for them. You’ll always make money from it😉
