Does any one have a no-pay? 1 of the 4 choices should. It appears as if i had the 1st couple of days I did; cause i replied for 2 or 3 days & now i have to pay. If tenant. Roommate, house, or room was not in the mix none of thiscould work. Each needs the other to function
The app provides no value without payment. Maybe offer a free trial and/or a 'connection fee' in the event that the user actually makes progress with a tangible lead
Why am I getting messages when I haven't posted anything
Tricky sending me inquires about people in Lousiana while I have room for rent in austin
It's very inconvenient that I have to pay to see rooms. If you want to charge me once I see something that I'm interested it that's fine but you block more content than any other room search website I've tried
Bad you have to pay to see the messages. I don't understand why they ask for money to read the messages and it is very expensive.
Bad you have to pay to see the messages.
Roomster makes it easy for people to connect.
If you're renting out space in your home, or looking for a nice place to live, they really make it possible to find a place that you are comfortable with
Too expense, full of scams you do little about, auto-messages for every single listing make the app impossible to use, please refund me i/'ve given you $24 for nothing in return. No thanks!
It's annoying you see a fantastic Ad and it doesn't exist once you've gotten on Roomster.
I am in a big transition - I raided great kids and then took care of my aging parents during covid - it was a hot mess - of course - your amazing Roomster Platform gave me a way to explore new homing options as I grow my work and travel life - could NOT be MORE GRATEFUL - Mary / Wheaton, IL
I feel like It would be an even better experience if you allowed people to message each other freely within the first few weeks of creating the account.
Most people do not respond at all. It's frustrating.
Lets see. Why charge 12 bucks just to use the service for 7 days. Would a buck a day not be fair?
Not clear on what is happening and why you are asking me to pay.
Your buisiness model should be clear to the customer atleast to the extent for the customer to understand what are they paying for
Good prices and wide variety. If it results in me getting an apartment, the price will be well worth it.

Answer: These are untrue statements. We have asked our many satisfied customers to post their positive experiences about Roomster to counteract the negative, and mostly untrue statements posted about us. If you notice that Sitejabber has negative reviews of almost every company doing business in the united states. If it was all true, there would be no business left and everyone would be out of work. People never write good reviews, people love to be negative. Its sad.
Answer: Hi Aminah, Roomster did not post that ad on Craigslist, we did not create that link and there fore we can not offer support for it. This looks to be one of our affiliates, who should not be doing this. We will be removing this person from our affiliate program. Thank you for bringing this to our attention.
Answer: That makes little to no sense. Undeleted? What does that even mean? N you want to create an account after you deleted it? Go ahead.
