Domain Real Estate & Property 4+

Domain app, best choice!

Recently I have been searching for a place to rent, and let me tell you that using the Domain app makes my life far more easier when it comes to searching for property; it is very simple and comfortable to use. I did not struggle at all to filter and find the places with the features I was looking for.

Some of many Perks:

Love the fact that the region of interest is circled in the map, without limiting the searcher to find other places outside
Very nice that I can still see the map while I’m swapping images of the place I liked.
I love places with backyard or pool. So the option of having keywords in the filters, makes easier my search.
Highlighting the dots of viewed places from green to grey is definitely a very useful feature.
Suggestions:

I know that it could be a bit overwhelming (visually talking) but I would like to see the price of the green dots when I zoom in the map before actually clicking.
It would be nice to have the option of highlight Places that I have viewed and I’m not interested at all, let’s see with a red dot 🔴 instead of a grey dot.
In the shortlist, I can’t see an option to put some notes with the pros and cons of my favourited places. Is this something you guys have already thought about?
In general, very satisfied with this app 😃. Great effort from the domain designers to deliver to us a great experience when it comes to searching for a property! Nice job guys! 👍🏻

Great experience, except for one thing..

I’ve been using Domain for a while and really enjoy it. Thank you for a great user experience. It’s easy to find what you need and filter. Overall, a great feature set that I would say is better than REA.
However, similar to some other reviews, I have noticed that the performance went south in one of the past updates. It used to be super fast and responsive, but now it often lags and is janky when moving the map around and zooming in and out. My phone also gets really hot.
As a note to developers, perhaps the issue is that all the work is being done on the main thread, including the search and filtering. Keeping UI updates on the main thread and putting everything else on a background thread would be the ideal way to handle this.

Developer Response ,

Hi, thank you so much for sharing your feedback. I'm glad to hear that you are finding the app helpful.

Regarding the performance issue, I'm keen on understanding better when this is happening so we can try to identify the cause and work towards fixing it. Could you please reach out to us at mobileproducts@domain.com.au with some more details? Specifically, let us know what device you are using, what iOS version you are running, and if this lag occurs every time or sometimes. Also, please mention if it happens from the beginning or after using the app for a while.

Cheers, Matias

Needs better filtering options

This app is good and I like using it to check properties while I search to buy. But it really needs better filtering options:

- Option to turn off properties with no numerical purchase price entered. Includes words (auction, for sale, call agent, etc) properties. I want to filter all thousand out! This would also save customers from clicking/tapping on the green dot only to realize it’s an auction or there is no price there which is a wast of time and would create more unrealistic metrics for domain.

For example: If I’m a buyer and I tap on a green dot only to realize it’s an auction, for sale, call agent, etc or has no numerical amount entered it’s an unrealistic click/metric and I’m not going to look any further into that property. End of story. I also think the real estate agents might appreciate more realistic clicks views as well instead of saying to sellers that we got 10,000 views of your property only to realise half of them are buyers not interested in (auction, for sale, call agent, etc).
