### "Life Changing."

October 3, 2019

5.0

It allowed us, as a small group, to expand our business. I would have had to hire at least two more employees to get us where we are today.

Pros

ease of use/portability - you can do pretty much anything from anywhere/reports/automation/electronic transactions

Cons

I can't think of anything, frankly, ........................

### "AppFolio"

July 29, 2022

5.0

This app makes my life so much easier and I couldn't be happier with it. I would recommend it to anyone who manages multiple properties or even a single property with multiple units. Out tenants switched over to paying rent and requesting maintenance via AppFolio 9 months ago and it's been smooth sailing ever since.

Pros

This software manages helps manage multiple properties and all of the individual units flawlessly. It saves me so much time and I don't have to collect rent anymore it's paid by tenant in the app.

Cons

The only thing I would change is maybe they could add a reminder to close maintenance requests a certain amount of days after they are viewed by management. Another thing would be to add a way for tenants to make some type of payment arrangements if they are going to be late paying rent for unexpected reasons.

### "You're getting too big"

February 22, 2018

3.0

Pros

The product itself is great and very intuitive. The mobile app is very helpful for the entire staff.

Cons

Support is really lacking. I would like to just call and get support, rather than submitting a request and waiting for an answer. I've submitted a request once and was told that what I was requesting was not supported and that I should make a suggestion. I feel that I'm already communicating with Appfolio, why do I have to re-communicate to Appfolio? The support person should have said that the feature I was looking for will be passed on to the appropriate department. I get the impression that the suggestion board is mainly a feel good function and not something that Appfolio takes seriously. I base this on the fact that there are suggestions that have several votes, have been on the board for several months and not getting a response. As an example there is as suggestion for lease expiration notice which has 1,231 votes and was suggested May 2015. It was not responded to until February 2016 and we still don't have this function. What's really funny about this particular function is that before I went to Appfolio 5 years ago I had this function on my website that I designed and had developed. This is just proof that Appfolio doesn't listen to it's clients

### "Extremely User Friendly"

November 4, 2019

5.0

Easy to use and customer service is excellent and prompt.

Pros

I have never used such an easy software program before. The design and ease of use makes my job so much more efficient. The layout of the screens to pull up the information or input of information is well organized.

Cons

I do not have any comments to relay as I enjoy this software.

### "AppFolio fits the needs of our Property Management firm!"

November 4, 2019

5.0

Overall our experience has been excellent.

Pros

Online use from laptop, tablet or phone is convenient. The ability to monitor payments, work orders as well as maintenance information is outstanding.

Cons

Our firm is unable to use the P & L's as presented but thankfully they can be converted to an Excel doc and we can edit and delete the columns that we don't need. Many of our clients are confused by too much information that is not pertainent to them such as sales tax, application fees, late fees, tenant insurance, etc.

### "Bookkeeping Functions"

November 27, 2018

4.0

Overall I think this is a very good product. But since we're using it to manage the entire company, not just the property management portion, it would be nice to add some bookkeeping and accounting friendly features as well.

Pros

Easy to pull current and past reports; I like that I can transfer data to Excel; there are several places to find information and it's easy to find more info by clicking on the blue numbers.

Cons

This is definitely designed for the property manager and not the bookkeeper. It takes several steps to look up paid invoices, money received from vendors doesn't go onto the vendor ledger so it's hard to look up past receipts. Constantly having to enter a date range beyond a month - it would be much more convenient if the vendor ledgers automatically pulled up an entire year or even longer. It would be nice to have a report showing vendors that have been paid for any given year, and the amount paid, not just 1099 vendors.

### "I <3 Appfolio"

February 6, 2019

5.0

The problems we are solving is having access to a centralized database of everything. The speed we can locate and act upon information adds so much value to how fast we can pivot in this ever changing industry. Nothing stays still and no one wants to be the next Blackberry to the iPhone.

Pros

I love the ease of Appfolio. This goes for search, posting ads, everything. The omnibox makes this. I can find any tenant or applicant by name, apartment, email, or even phone number!

Cons

I think what I like least is the website platform. Currently, we post listings through an iframe on the WordPress site because it allows us to customize our site to stand out. If we were to sign up for an Appfolio provided website, we would look like all of the other ones. We want to be unique. Our brand and look matter so much to us!

### "Simplifies complexity into efficiency"

September 17, 2018

5.0

Changing to new software is a bit concerning and stressful. Appfolio takes the stress away. They don't mislead you to get you to contract with them. They are straight forward about what they can do for your company. The implementation is thorough and pleasant.

Pros

The software is phenomenal and can be implemented into any property management company, whether properties are owned or just managed or whether a company is small or large. It is user friendly and help is just a click away, using topic searches, topic forums, or messaging a representative for one-on-one help. Appfolio staff are ALWAYS pleasant to work with and ready to help guide you in your software needs for how you run your business. The software is also versatile to implement with how you do business and doesn't force you to change your processes. Plus, appfolio listens to their customers, adding and changing services to provide the best efficiency in the property management software market.

Cons

I can not think of a single thing I do not like about the software. The biggest con was waiting to implement appfolio. Don't waste time waiting.

November 7, 2019

5.0

Easy and FAST accounting. Easy to learn. Excellent customer support.

Pros

AppFolio has all the features I need to do fast, efficient accounting AND record keeping for rental and HOA management. I am frequently surprised by new features and easy to enter screens. I can also easily access on my phone when I need info on the go.

Cons

Like the least? nothing about the software.

Reason for choosing AppFolio Property Manager

Ease of use, features and the commitment to continue to improve the product which the AppFolio team has done. I am very satisfied with my choice.

### "Worst Customer Support Ever Experienced"

July 13, 2021

Don't waste your time or money

Pros

The day I cancelled it and they are still trying to strong arm me in an auto renewal that does not exist.

Cons

Customer support - biggest blow off staffing ever experienced. Passed from one person to another if you are lucky enough to even get someone to answer. Emails go unresponded to, onboarding team was threatening and pushy to say the least.

Overall, I would never want to go back to Yardi, AMSI, RentRoll, or any other software.

Pros

It is easy user friendly and is constantly being tailored to suit our company's needs.

Cons

That sometimes changes are made and we don't have the option to deny those changes if what we have is already the best functional method for us.

December 7, 2020

5.0

Couldn't be more impressed with the support I have received over the years. You can tell they truly care about their clients and providing a resource to make property managers jobs more efficient.

Pros

I have been using AppFolio almost since they launched the product. It has assisted me in streamlining a variety of tasks to allow me more time to grow my business.

Cons

The product is becoming more and more convoluted over the years. I am sure this is great for them as it allows them to reach a wider range of clients but it is taking the simple, clean, ease of use out of the system.

### "Appfolio Review"

March 26, 2019

5.0

Overall Appfolio is very user friendly but it does have some flaws here and there.

Pros

Appfolio is easy to use, simple, and straight forward. I like that I can submit a support request and get free help to help me solve an issue.

Cons

When I submit a support request it usually takes several hours if not 24 hours to hear from someone. This isn't a terrible thing but a lot of the times I need help resolving an issue quicker than a few hours to 24 hours later. Also, it seems as though our monthly bill is constantly increasing / prices being raised often.

### "DO NOT CHOOSE APPFOLIO"

June 25, 2019

2.0

NOT GOOD. I realize the shortcomings of AppFolio does not fall on the . This company needs to provide more support to their clients.

Pros

AppFolio will be a quick sell and then they will not support you. During the "Onboarding" process they never train you. It is impossible to get support, they don't answer calls and it will take 1-2 days to hear back from someone. I had to write an unfortunate email before I felt like our property staff could receive okay support.

Cons

It looks like it's easy to use before you start to use it, then you realize things are not set up correctly and no one ever walked you through how to use it. Lack of training resources and terrible customer support. Their "help center" is everything short of helpful.

Response from AppFolio

Hello Megan, we are sorry for the negative experience. During your onboarding, you have a dedicated team to support you and we apologize this did not meet your expectation. Now that you are live, you have access to our support team immediately by using our Live Chat feature found in the Help Center or you can submit a support request. We also have a robust Help Center with new user training guides, live trainings, webinars and all information to be trained appropriately with AppFolio. We hope you have been able to utilize this resource and hope to improve your experience moving forward.

### "Great Program...Still needs tweeking"

February 26, 2019

Its been a descent experience so far. I still would like to see some extremely important features become available. But maybe with time that will happen.

Pros

Easy to use. Easy to navigate. Reports are fairly easy to read and understand. Online rent pay for tenants is a huge plus.

Cons

Need to track Appliances per Unit!!!!! Ability to print a letter using an applicant...say for a denial letter would be nice. Ability to put more then one money order on the same receipt for a tenant would be nice as well. Instead of one receipt per money order.

March 3, 2020

Overall, I wouldn't use any other product. This is what I'm used to and wouldn't know how else to improve it based on the day to day functions we already utilize it for.

Pros

Covers a large array of services that our office utilizes for PM. It is easy to train on, with regards to clearly labeled tabs and functions. It gets updates to benefit it's users.

Cons

When there is a problem and I need to speak with someone, due to lack of video instructions, it is nearly impossible to do so. This causes issues within our company as this platform operates 80% of our business.

### "Excellent functionality"

January 5, 2021

5.0

Pros

Appfolio is very easy to use and intuitive. The few times we've needed to search for how to do something, it has been easy to find how to do it. We have found Appfolio to be very responsive to feedback and regularly see useful improvements.

Cons

For Accounting, the application of Credits in A/P could use some more options (e.g. greater ability to choose where it's applied, requirement of Approvals like Payables have, etc.) But I hasten to add that this is relatively minor and pretty much the only thing that springs to mind.
