Apartment Search – CribQ ($2.99)
Version – 1.0.1
REVIEW – “Hunting for an apartment has never been this easy!”
If you look back you’ll find that I’ve reviewed several different apps that were designed to help you find houses and commercial properties for sale. What about those of us that are just looking for a decent apartment? Well if you live in one of the supported metropolitan areas Apartment Serach – CribQ is a great way to find what’s available!
This app not only summarizes all the apartment information on Craig’s list, but it also offer some great features like a map view, favorites list and more!
When you open the app the first thing you’ll see is a map overview. The first thing you’ll want to do is select “Options” from the menu at the bottom of the screen and set the location that you want to search. There is an option to use your current location, or to select from a list of all of the city’s that have apartment listings. Using the tabs at the top of this screen you can switch to a couple other options screens that will allow 
you to set up things like filters on what types of apartments to show and how recent listings shown should be.
Scanning through properties is a breeze. From the map view all you have to do is touch a property and you will see a basic preview of the information related to it. Touching the property information at the top of the screen will take you to a full screen view with more information on it. Within this information you can access all the pictures of the property, as well as a small map of the neighborhood around it and you can even view the original Craigs List posting if you want!
As you scan properties, if at any time you want to contact the owner of a property you can do so by highlighting it and touching the little phone or mail icons in the bottom left corner. Another way to navigate houses from the map is by using the little arrow keys in the bottom right corner. At any time you can add notes 
and/or favorite properties to help you remember details that might be important to you later!
If the map view is too much for you, or if you’d rather just look at all of them in a list you can do that as well. All 
you have to do is touch the “Results” button in the menu at the bottom of the screen. The list you see will be the same list of properties that are currently shown in the map view. You can get a new list by moving your location on the map somewhere else, or zooming in/out.
All in all the results in this app seem to be pretty accurate. The pictures and navigation feel polished and are a whole lot better than just hunting through posts on Craig’s List! The major drawback to this app is that it only works in a few supported metropolitan areas. With that said, if you live in a supported area this app will not only save you time but also the frustration of trying to find decent apartment listings online. So what are you waiting for? If you’re in a search for your next apartment grab this app today!
