Annoying
All these nice reviews are paid. Not waste time down long the app. It’s just a waste of time you can’t even view listing unless you pay for verification. 👎👎👎👎

Scammers
It’s a scam
2022-10-01
Fake
This app is fake as hell. Kindly stay away from this kinds of apps and try search via marketplace or realestate. We have waste our money buying subscription and no one has even seen or replied my messages.
F*** useless app.
2021-09-25
Scam-DON’t DOWNLOAD
Do not download. Absolute scam of an app. Not sure how Apple even allow these kind of apps.
2021-07-25
Confused
I find this app confusing with terminology ie. megaphone. Trying to use the sliding scale is a nuisance going from one extreme to the other. If you click the help icon you get redirected to the page to sign up for another week or more, but no advise about my question. I have never clicked the help icon yet and received a straight answer to my questions. Yours brenda
2021-06-07
Rubbish
Useless app
2021-04-27
It’s good but...
The reason I give the app two stars is because I don’t think a paid subscription to read/reply to messages is okay especially given the housing market at the moment.
2021-04-13
NO
What’s the point of this app if you have to pay to see who messaged you ???? So stupid do NOT recommend
Made it extremely hard to find a rental and just annoying
2021-01-13
The worst don’t use
Will take your money while sending you adds for people not even in your country and hard to cancel....
2020-11-24
Costly
$15 a week is a very steep price. I can’t find anywhere in the app that tells you what you even get for that subscription price besides messages. The layout is a little confusing at first. Would have liked this app if it didn’t costs $15 a week to read messages...
2020-05-10
Horrible
Sneaky Stole my money
I wish I could give 0 stars
2020-04-17
Can’t get into the app without creating the same ad twice
I already made a post on Safari, I down load the app and it wants me to upload the ad again which is stupid. So now I can’t even sign in or check the notifications
2020-03-26
DO NOT INSTALL THE APP!
I am still being charged odd amounts even though I have cancelled my membership and deleted the app 10 MONTHS AGO. I have tried to contact and there is no response. DO NOT INSTALL THIS APP!!
2020-03-17
Trash
This app is totally trash
2020-03-16
Worth using
Roomster appears to have a lot of people searching for a room which will be helpful when trying to find a house mate for my property. Will definitely use each time I need to fill a room.
2020-03-03
Total waste of time & money
This is ridiculous, signed up to find housemates and just kept getting random messages and no-ones profile has any detail. Total waste of time & money. DO NOT sign up!!!
2020-01-25
Horrible
Only buy if you want to pay 8$ a week to be able to use the app.
2020-01-14
Awful App
Terrible. Created my account early in the morning and got my account deleted at night without telling me why. Awful experience.
2020-01-14
Waste of money
This app is a massive waste of money.
The application itself is a great idea and is really user friendly. The problem is that almost no-one is using it!
It’s a market place to find share rooms but there are almost none being offered
for rent - at least in Australia.
2020-01-08
Waste of absolute time!!
Quite stupid that you can list a room to rent in Australia but cannot select ‘Australia’ when wanting to identify yourself. Thanks for wasting my money :)
2020-01-07
Rip off - don’t waste your time or money
Downloaded the app which didn’t work properly - then they charge $14.99 to ID you! Tried to cancel and ask for refund but the refused. This is a scam and a rip off! Don’t waste your time, download or money. No customer support or care - disgusted and SHAMEFUL!
2020-01-04
BS
This app is a joke. Numerous people msg then just disappear. Almost feels like the msgs are generated.! Fake accounts, waste of money signing up.
2020-01-01
Absolute rubbish
We signed up to this app hoping to find relevant and genuine applications for the rooms that we have in our suburb.
There were many messages that were totally irrelevant to our area, from people who didn’t seem to even read our room description.
I suspect this website is bogus in that they put up stock photos and send regular messages to make you feel that these are real people and that they might be interested in your place to rent. There are very few details about each person and it does not even include which suburb in Melbourne they would like to apply for.
They get you to pay $14 for validation to join and $7.50 per week and it appears that they want that money every week rather than finding you a flat mate.
We were disappointed in the time that we were subscribed. We have now canceled our subscription and recommend that you do not sign up.
Learn from our mistakes.
2019-12-07
A big scam
Don’t download and give your account details. Even if you delete your account, they still keep taking money from your account. They are the biggest scam trending now.
2019-11-19
Waste of time
Clunky app design, basic map function and not really very easy to use ad navigate.
You can’t do anything other than look at the ads unless you pay.
2019-10-20
Scammy App - Avoid
Firstly, the app tricks you into publishing a listing while leading you to believe that you’re simply searching for local listings. It then wants to charge you to view messages. The 5 star reviews are BS. Roompik seems similar. Having checked out a lot of the ‘global’ ‘solutions’, I think you’re usually better off with a local site or FB group. : )
2019-10-16
Don’t.
It’s probably just me, but this is the least user friendly interface I’ve ever used period. Like, it’s probably worth downloading just to see how bad it is WOOOOOOW. The fact they’ve then got the nerve to ask for you to subscribe for money is the best part!
2019-09-19
Fake listings and messages to get you to sight up
This is a scam it forces you in to a subscription to read messages but they are not messages they are sent via the app and half the profiles don’t match the age, gender or pictures they are auto generating fake profiles (and badly) to get you to subscribe. You have been warned!
2019-09-01
Not really attractive
I found this app difficult to use
2019-08-31
Can’t Even Login to the App
Worst experience I’ve ever had with an app. Why? Because it won’t even let me get past the login screen. No matter how many times I tap on the word login (or anything on the flash screen that appears when I click on the app icon to open the app) NOTHING happens.
2019-08-21
It’s so bad application
When u download u will find good choice then they will ask you to pay 15$ to can contact with the owner after that u can send message then if he reply u have to pay 7$ to check what he said it’s so crazy application even I think the rooms I find it’s fake
2019-08-11
Not user friendly
I was wondering how does one reply to potential house mate without paying weekly or is this not a free service
2019-07-24
The worst app.
Wants you to pay a weekly subscription to view any messages. Also, fills your email inbox with notifications from EVERY listing, not ones that are relevant to your listing i.e if you’re listing a room to rent, you receive email notifications from people also listing a room to rent. Any free listing platform is better than any this. Don’t waste your time.
2019-07-01
Unsatisfied
Whilst it toke approximately 10-15 mins to complete my advertisement, I was then removed from my account for no apparent reason.
2019-04-29
No way
App clearly unfinished
2019-02-24
Stupid
You can’t put many preferences, I didn’t want to post an Ad but you can’t use without making one
2019-02-22
DO NOT DOWNLOAD THIS APP
It doesn’t want to tell you that you can’t open messages from other people for your listing unless you sign up to an $8 a week subscription. But you’ll write up the whole add before you know this! Ridiculous
2019-02-17
So Annoying.
Hahahaha so I see a lot of the reviews are definitely paid for, none the less the app works we'll gets you to put in all your information the even let's you send a message to people . . . To view the replies you have to pay a weekly subscription. Annoying. Anyway apart from that 2 things you should change anyway, the map, allow people to zoom and move the map around, verification shouldn't require a social media verification.
2019-01-09
Don’t Bother Downloading
Super disappointed with this app as there is no way you’d be able to find a roommate without panting a ridiculous amount of money!
Also don’t bother trying to get people to contact you any other way because they delete key words like ‘email’ and email addresses from your listing!
Money hungry - stick with flatmates.com!
2018-12-25
Misleading advertising
A big banner says: “Only 0,99$ a week” or similar, small words says: Each day p.week.
Finally is: 7,49$ p. week, 30$ p.month.
There are not too many places for rent, at least in Melbourne. Only one week and BYE!
2018-12-15
Horrible
On the start page of the app, it asks me whether I want to look for rooms or put up one for offer. And I choose to put up room for offer and fill in every required information thereafter. Then it asks me to log in, and I choose google to sign in. After that it sends back to the first page again asking me the same thing again. I am stuck in this loop. This app is useless.
2018-12-12
Room scammers
App stops working after a few days
2018-12-01
Room
U keep talking money from my bank account I canceled it month ago stop doing this
2018-11-06
Waste of time!!
Basically there is no way for you to use the app to contact anyone unless you pay for the upgrade. Potential housemates will be trying to message you and Roomster will not allow you to see it.
What is the point of a free option if you can’t do anything on there?
2018-10-09
Annoying and dumb
Lots of time wasters on the app.
App developers seem to also like wasting time. Constantly have useless updates almost once every week. Makes me log in every single time i open the app.
Been paying for months and havent had one tenant.
Use flatmates.com.au for Australia
They dont have an app but definitely better for finding tenants and listing a place.
2018-09-06
Awfully design very poor outcome
Never got one person from this app when I used only served to charge me a fee monthly which I can’t see to find a way to cancel. Very unsatisfactory service!!!
2018-08-29
Fraud
They get bots to put up random adds and and contact you about accommodation,
And when you can’t reply to these wicked room adds because your not a member they tell you that you have to sign up
So you agree and subscribe to a week,
To then realise that none of the offers that you were getting reply, or are real,
Then once they have you details they keep billing you even after you unsubscribed!
Complete fraud
Shittest app
2018-08-28
No good
It requires you to pay.
2018-08-17
Useless
Don't bother
2018-06-18
Worst app ever
Apple need to remove this scamming garbage from their App Store.. do not waste your time or money on this garbage that doesn’t even work.. any good review on this app is fake and I feel like I’ve been scammed paying money for this!
2018-06-13
Scammy app
Very clearly 70% plus of the messages I receive are fake dead end messages from abroad aimed at encouraging you to keep your subscription rolling. How many people apply for a room posting between 3 and 5am? A very clear pattern with this app.
Unsubscribing is difficult to impossible. Roomsters own instructions on how to unsubscribe to rolling payments is out of date and misleading.
A rolling payment is the only option when signing up.
As I first suspected I shouldn’t have trusted a company that advertises through aggressive Facebook spamming.
AVOID THIS APP!
I don’t for a second trust the positive reviews on this app.
2018-06-10
A scam
This app doesn’t work at all. A day after I have entered all the information, I have received the notification that my account has been closed. Regardless, I am receiving every day an email saying that I have messages in my mail box. I can not unsubscribe from those emails no matter what I did. Do not install this app!
2018-06-08
Not useful at all
It is made to be using only with money and very tough to use.
2018-05-03
Really uncomfortable experience
Requires WAY too much personal information before even seeing if it’s worthwhile. No way to evaluate before committing.
2018-04-27
Get your money back
This app is terrible and it doesn’t work properly and will take payment but still ask for upgrade payment so I have lost potential housemates causing me to lose more money from my own pocket very disappointing app and I will be asking for a full refund.🖕🏾
2018-04-13
Login not possible
White screen when trying to log on. Useless, unfortunately.
2018-03-13
Clunky and difficult
So hard to use. Hard to add photos. Needs an upgrade.
2017-10-10
Insulted at the login screen.
Can't even log in to the app because their app algorithms think my profile is fake. So as a human... I'm giving them one star.
2017-04-11
Waste of time
After spending time inputting all info, I keep getting error message & it deletes all info. Unable to search for rooms. Totally disappointing & dysfunctional app.
2016-08-27
convenient truth
Now my friends and I have to travel very easily can make a reservation
2016-08-23
Doesn't even work.
Downloaded this app, went to go sign in through Facebook and then it comes up a big X saying email required... Where it never gave me the option to put one in. Should already have my email from my Facebook.
2016-08-06
SCAM
Have read nothing but bad reviews online about roomster. Was led to this app after seeing people advertising their ads for roomster on Facebook. After checking their profiles, it seems they are either fake profiles or people from overseas advertising rooms in Australia. Half the ads have the same images for different houses.
