Zillow Real Estate & Rentals 4+

Some issues, but overall the best for real estate perusal

Yes, there are issues, some that are beyond aggravating. Yet it is the one app I go to on almost a daily basis for 2nd home and vacation condo shopping, or to just look at dream homes in new areas. On my iPad, most recently the app just locks up, requiring either a restart or deleting and reinstalling the Zillow. Ultimately I’d love to see 3D street viewing as an option, and the return of image saving and saving to room choices...I lost all my Dream Kitchen and Master Bath photos saved from homes we traveled to Georgia to visit. Why did this option go? You can still screenshot an image, so privacy can’t be the issue. On the plus side, the option to connect with the agent, the display options, the filter features, and overall presentation are pleasant. Decent control over search saves and update notifications as well. I read another viewers issue with incorrect information, but when I cross-check w/other real estate apps, it looks as if it is the owner or agent that is supplying incorrect information, as it is consistent throughout all the apps. Thanks for fun home shopping and comparative analyzing, Zillow!

App is not “better”. Quit telling me to use it.

I do not have trouble with inaccurate information on Zillow as others have stated in their reviews. This is really based more on the way that the data is generated, collected, and distributed, and is somewhat inevitable. My problem is that I am constantly being asked to use the app instead of my browser because it is “better”. It is not necessarily better in my opinion. Based on information shown on the app, we contacted our realtor and told them to schedule a viewing and begin putting an offer together incase the property was as we were expecting… great house at a great price, had to move fast. Our realtor went about spending his valuable time doing as we had requested. Later when excitedly viewing the listing in my browser, my wife noticed that it was a cash only listing. Sorry, I do not have $240k burning a hole in my pocket. The problem is the fact that Zillow had the data to report that it was a cash only transaction, but failed to mention it in the app, only the browser. I was embarrassed to have to tell my realtor who had spent some time on this that we were no longer interested based on what we had found on Zillow (browser) but not found on Zillow (app). Either make the app to reflect what is in the browser, or quit telling me that “it is better in the app”. Great app otherwise.

No better than Realtor after update

I use to love this app and preferred it over Realtor because you had the option of the street view which allowed you to see the spacing between houses better and could get different angles of the front of the house. And I’m guessing that since there is no longer street view available is why a lot of the homes no longer have pictures of the front of the house; just the satellite view and mapping. The front of the house is a very important selling point, why the update got rid of option is mind boggling to me. Using Realtor more now because I need to see the curb appeal. Thanks for ruining the app 😡

Edited review:
First let me say thank you for bringing back the street view, that feature is very helpful. But now I’m disappointed again because after the last update we are no longer able to select homes nearby to compare. When using the satellite view with lot lines selected, you can’t open to view any houses close by. The area off screen when you scroll over to it has that capability for a split second (disappears almost immediately after scrolling over). This app use to be awesome but now it seems we can’t have all its capabilities working at the same time. Please get this app working properly again. I’m finding Redfin a better option right now and it has major glitches. Do better please!
