Name a few of your favorite apps and reason you love them.

I enjoy 'Hopper' because it saves me money for travel.

How long have you been working on this app?

For 2 years.

What need of the user did you have in mind when developing this app?

Find an off-campus place on the go and easy! Students are more mobile-oriented so this is the reason we created the app.

In what way do you think your app is better than similar apps on the market? Please describe in detail what innovation you think you bring and what you are proud of in your app.

It is better because it allows students to find rooms and apartments and quickly filter by map, university, and even amenities for the best apartments in the game. Save your favorites, share them instantly with roommates, instantly chat with our landlords, book tours, and sublet your place (thus saving money to students).

What are your future plans and expected features of the coming new versions of this app?

Future plans are to develop a financial widget that allows students to control their budget.

Assuming new users of your app are reading this page. What do you want to ask them to do (contact you about X, Share the app, etc.)?

Please share the app with parents, students and universities.
