If you’re looking for somewhere to stay or someone to rent your spare room, you’ll love this app. SpareRoom has helped more than eight million people find the perfect flatmate or flatshare.
The app gives you two big buttons: one to search for rooms and properties, and one to search for flatmates. Choose the former and you’ll see a list of available rentals along with full details and photos, and there’s a really useful map view that shows not just where the places are but their price, too.
The filters are great, enabling you to narrow things down by your budget, preferred kind of property and even the kind of people you’d prefer to share with.
It’s much the same when you search for potential flatmates, with the added ability to specify whether you want a single or double bed or to filter out smokers.
SpareRoom is great on iPhone and iPad, and the latest version fully supports Dark Mode for late-night house-hunting.
There’s also an excellent Apple Watch companion to ensure that you never miss a lead, with the ability to carry on conversations without having to reach for your phone.
Once you’ve found the flat or flatmate you’d like to know more about, you can message them safely from inside the app… to begin what we hope will be a very successful flatshare.
