Zillow Real Estate & Rentals 4+

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!

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.
