The International News Magazine suggests that the ease and functionality of the app has lead to its popularity, including more than a million downloads in the previous year — a milestone for the continent which, outside of the major urban centers, is sparsely populated.
With intense competition in the Real Estate mobile app market, what do users love about realestate.com.au?
- Users have the ability to search property to buy or rent and save favorites to a user account, making information accessible across multiple mobile devices. Many users access the desktop interface during the week and switch to the mobile app when house hunting on weekends.
- Users can access the calendar function to save “Open for Inspection” dates and times, making it easy to schedule property viewings on busy weekends.
- There is a simple user interface to view photos, floor plans and other property information, including agent contact information.
- Users can search for properties using current location, targeting suburbs as easily as urban centers.
Since its launch in 2010, this app has received several accolades, including a 2013 Australian Mobile Award for Best Migration to Mobile Technology, and one recent review from ITunes called the app the “Rolls Royce of house hunting.”.
