2

Scam Listings

Around 15% of users express concerns about the prevalence of scam listings and unverified landlords on the app. This issue undermines trust and makes users wary of engaging with potential rental opportunities.

Too many scammers are allowed on this app without proper verification.

Map and Icon Confusion

About 8% of users are dissatisfied with recent updates to the map interface, where icons for viewed and unviewed properties are indistinguishable, complicating the search process.
