After helping over 13,000,000 people in the UK find their perfect room or roommate, we've come to help in the US. With our apps, you can do it all while on-the-go. Repeatedly featured by Apple in the categories of Your New Home, Apps for the Weekend, What's Hot, and Popular Apps and Games. Covered by The New York Times, Time magazine, The Wall Street Journal and the Los Angeles Times. SUITABLE FOR EVERYONE Whether you're starting college, relocating within or to the US, tired of living alone, weighing up what to do with an empty room, or, quite simply, searching for another roommate or roomshare, we’re the service for you. YOUR PERFECT ROOMIE We understand that finding your perfect roommate, housemate or roomshare can be a daunting task, but it really doesn’t have to be. Using the SpareRoom app you can filter potential roommates via a range of attributes ensuring you find a perfect new housemate or roomshare! Pick from whether you want your roommate to be a professional, student or other to make sure you're both on the same page when it comes to living together. We'll even allow you to go even more granular by filtering roommates on things like 'are they vegetarian' and 'do they allow pets'. UNRIVALLED CHOICE With thousands of room-sharing opportunities to choose from right across the US, you'll be able to find your perfect roommate or roomshare. We're all across the US so you can find a roommate or roomshare from NYC all the way to San Francisco. OUR PHILOSOPHY Experience has taught us that finding a great roomshare is as much about the people as it is about the property. To help you find the best of both, we provide unparalleled tools, choice, and support. As a result, on average, every 3 minutes someone finds a roommate through SpareRoom.

BEWARE: POSSIBLE HUMAN TRAFFICKING ORGANIZATION
SpareRoom misused my IP and data by banning all of my accounts from my temporary IP because I questioned living with someone who discriminated against me for being heterosexual. SERIOUSLY. This unstable transgender individual (who would have held my security deposit btw) told me that I had to be “queer/trans” in order to move-in, then when I told them that SpareRoom has a feature for preferred biological sex not perceived gender and that they were discriminating against me, they told me to F off basically. I contacted SpareRoom and they’ve ignored all my customer service emails, then that’s when I found out they were blocking my IP. Personally reporting Flatshare Ltd to my congressman today and to the FBI, CIA then following through after. Time to Hunt.
It’s ok
It’s ok. I am still without a place so we’ll see.
The app is eh
I got this app a while back while trying to look for an affordable place to live. But this app is only useful to people who don’t have a budget haha, so if you are on a tight budget and want a room, don’t download. They also don’t update the rooms available. I was looking for a room near me, there weren’t any at all, I waited a few weeks and would check every now and then, there are still no rooms available to rent. So if you are planning on downloading this app and you need a place to rent asap, don’t go for this app. It takes a while to find a room and even longer for anyone to get back to you. Hope this helps!
Increase in scamming
There has to be a way to identify and eliminate scamming. Also, there should be a rating system so landlords/Roommate’s can receive feedback from folks who have rented via SpareRoom.

Easy, fast, convenient 👍✌️😀
Payment required to send messages
Any app that requires you to pay to send any messages is a useless app.
In this update, we’ve made significant improvements to the saved ads experience. You can now filter them by status (saved, contacted, shown interest, hidden), sort them (newest, last updated, highest rent/budget, lowest rent/budget), and view them on a map. We’ve also added some extra functionality to messaging. If you’ve got multiple active ads, you’ll now be able to filter your conversations to see just ones about a specific ad or just those from users with room wanted ads you’ve contacted. As always, we'd love to hear your thoughts on the things we can do to improve our app. You can send us your suggestions using the feedback option at the bottom of the Home screen.
