### "Poor onlinemarketing intregration/ associated customer support"

May 1, 2020

3.0

Setting aside the marketing portion of the Appfolio product , overall experience is good. The failure of the marketing software is disappointing; In my opinion, Appfolio should not be emphasizing without disclosure.

Pros

Complete integration of most common property management functions

Cons

A major Appfolio feature, the online marketing integration unreliable. Frequent failure of Appfolio uploading marketing information to online marketing websites. Appfolio customer support for onlnne marketing integration non-existent.

### "Property Management Software"

April 18, 2019

4.0

Overall I love this software!! Best one I have used for Property Management. Easy for tenants, owners and myself!!

Pros

For Market Rate rentals this software is user friendly and one of the BEST! The interface is clean and appealing. The Help & Support side is knowledgeable and quick.

Cons

For Affordable Housing (low income housing) the software can be a bit tricky, especially for an accrual base company.

### "Amazing Way To Keep Track Of Rental Properties"

April 22, 2021

5.0

Overall AppFolio is property one of the best property management softwares out there and if you are thinking of managing your properties on your own or have a property management company that you are looking to hire, ask them if they use appfolio.

Pros

Appfolio is amazing at keeping track of all the income that my rental properties produce and also seeing how much I spend each month on maintenance as well. It breaks down the profit and loss of each property extremely well and I know exactly how much each property produces in terms of income.

Cons

The only thing I didn't like is that the reports weren't as visual as I'd like them to be. I'd like the User Interface to be a little bit better so that you can see exactly how your properties are performing at a glance, but it's just a minor thing.

Love it! Best app for property management

Pros

It’s right to the point and easy to use

Cons

The guest cards take long to load. Appfolio employees who schedule my work orders to my techs as vendors instead of assignee which is very confusing when scheduling

### "Satisfied"

July 20, 2018

5.0

Since the time that we've switch to Appfolio, it makes our work load easier and everything that we needed is all in one package already. We were hesitant at first whether to change to another company or not. It didn't take so long for us to adjust from our old software because all we're using now is upgraded and so detailed. I highly recommend Appfolio to other property management.

Pros

Easy to operate software with great features that are easy to use. Your support team is awesome and so knowledgeable of what they're doing.

Cons

When Appfolio was still new, communication by email or even phone was our problem. Now, it improved so well. I love the chat idea because it sends our message to the Customer Success team and they reply to us promptly.

### "I think it was upgrade from previous software"

October 22, 2019

4.0

AR and recons are 100% better than previous software. These two functions alone make the program worth the cost.

Pros

I really think the software flows and is comprehensive. Certain functions has helped my office staff save more than 100 hours per month. Customer service has been responsive and helpful.

Cons

Possibly I would like improvement in AP portion of the software. It is as good as previous software just wish there was a way to speed up payments.

### "Best Management System Around"

November 6, 2018

4.0

overall everything with appfolio has been great. some of my other co-workers have told me how complicated other systems such as Yardee can be so i do appreciate the simplicity of appfolio.

Pros

I love how easy this software is to self teach. Being a part of a large management company, i had to do a lot self teaching and appfolio made it very easy for me.

Cons

i don't like when it automatically assumes someone will be charged a late fee because there is a balance later than 30 days old. one more thing i don't like is that it will charge double rent if you need to adjust the rent charge for the current rent you are in. i wish we could simply adjust the charge and not have to delete a second charge.

### "moving properties from one property group to 3 other property groups"

June 1, 2017

5.0

When we get stuck, or when we have a need for help the support team is quick to respond and is very patient with us no matter what kind of a mess we may have made trying to accomplish something on our own! We are learning that it's best to simply request support and have you guide us through whatever needs to be done!

Pros

We were advised what steps we needed to do in advance. Once completed the entire transfers were completed very quickly! This is not the first time that we have had to move properties from one account to another but it was without a double the smoothest transition that we have had!

### "Best Property Management Software Company"

October 11, 2017

5.0

Pros

We have been with Appfolio for several years now, and I can't give them enough praise. Their customer service is superb. I have contacted Appfolio multiple times with multiple requests/problems, and every time they have willingly and cheerfully helped me. Appfolio is constantly adding features, which is great. They listen to their customers and implement changes based on customers' desires. I HIGHLY recommend Appfolio.

Cons

It would be nice to have a little more control over certain aspects in Appfolio. As it is right now there are a few things that you have to contact Appfolio for, in order to change. I'm sure they have their reasons, but still :-).

### "AppFolio for Our Property Management"

January 8, 2020

5.0

I have been using this software for 4 years now. Some of the accounting features to me are a bit hard to understand. But I'm not an accountant. Works perfect for tracking tenant payments. Tenants can request on line maintenance requests.

Pros

Keeps track of tenant payments, work orders, notes and texts. Love that tenants can submit their own work orders with pictures.

Cons

Understanding the accounting side is a bit tricky. Tenants will have a different balance showing in their portal as to what I show on their ledger.

### "Great Software.... delayed responses. "

April 9, 2019

5.0

I really enjoy using appfolio, i can do a lot of unique things that meet my property needs. However i'm not a big fan of the costumer service. I feel like their response time for any given issue is delayed for too long. I got a response via email from a rep. I asked if he can call me instead so i can better explain my question i had, however he insisted on me explaining my issue via email. I understand that your representatives are busy and have a lot more cases to tend to. But at least try and accommodate my request by giving me an appointed time for a phone call can be fulfilled instead of ignoring me.

Pros

I like the different functions and options i have within the software.

Cons

At this appointed time i don't have anything i don't like about the program, it's a solid software.

### "Make your tenants happy"

April 5, 2019

4.0

Pros

As a tenant, this software was very easy to use. By setting up e-checks in the system, I was able to pay my rent and utility bills online, with transactions going through the same day I posted them. I was also able to request maintenance service and get updates on maintenance actions. It made dealing with my landlord very easy and our interactions smooth. I would also get email updates regarding lease documents, bills, rent, and other items posted to the system.

Cons

After my building was bought by someone else, it was hard to close my AppFolio account. I kept receiving notices regarding rental payments that were no longer due. I had to contact my landlord directly to close the account. I wish this process was smoother.

Hi Marci, it's great to hear that you were able to easily use your tenant portal. The best way to deactivate your tenant portal is to ask your property manager, as their is not the ability for you to deactivate your own tenant portal at this time. Thanks!

### "So Many Benefits!"

October 26, 2018

5.0

Pros

There are so many benefits to using this property management system. 1. Screen prospective tenants. 2. Manage applications in an organized fashion. 3. Digital leases make for less printing and easy to find at a moments notice. 4. Since it is all digital, your leases, applications tenant information, etc go with you wherever you go 5. Tenants can pay online. 6. Owners can be paid online. I could go on and on.....lots to explore and learn.

Cons

It's hard to get the hang of. After two years, I still have to get in touch with customer service about lots of issues. They have live chat which helps but getting someone to call on the phone is difficult.

### "A Very Comprehensive Program"

September 25, 2018

4.0

With so many Tenants, Owners and Vendors, there is no way I would be able to remember everything that goes on with each. Appfolio makes it an extremely efficient process, which aids in communication and record keeping for legal purposes - two critical areas in the property management arena.

Pros

Some of the best things about Appfolio are: functionality, mobility, strong search engine, variability of reports and record keeping. It is also wonderful that they are constantly adding new features. I am sure most people have been through buy some new tech gadget or program and then have it be outdated before the end of the month. I never worry about that with Appfolio.

Cons

If I think of anything, I'll get back to you.

December 15, 2020

5.0

Pros

This management software is very easy to use and get around in. The assistance from the techs is top-notch and usually gets back to you within 24 hours of a submitted issue. If you're looking for a complete property management software program, this is one to definitely look into.

Cons

As with any software, there are always things that can be improved upon. The great thing about this software is that the team is always upgrading and improving the program.

### "Highly recommended for small and large property management companies and landlords "

November 30, 2018

5.0

Pros

Amazing tool to have all information about properties (and their types) in one centralized location. It can get quite complicated managing a whole portfolio of buildings with tenant information as well as other info, but this software is extremely useful. The tags are also very helpful in addition to the emailing system and tenant portal.

Cons

Nothing really bad to note. Sometimes can be glitchy, but signing out and back in usually remedies this problem.

### "Quality Property Management Software"

July 7, 2022

5.0

I have long used the AppFolio platform and never had any major issues. I would absolutely recommend to any property manager or any student housing coordinator.

Pros

AppFolio has been used by our system for years. We are able to quickly sort through the many property management companies in our area on the platform, search properties and leases, and manage invoices. The set up for emailing clients is very easy to navigate and we have never had issues with people not receiving payment receipts.

Cons

Many property management firms don't use the maintenance request tools AppFolio has (not AppFolio's issue). Therefore the request tools are sometimes redundant causing users to believe they've submitted requests when they haven't.

Fantastic!

Pros

Easy to use. Easy to understand and easy to follow. Convenient to use from anywhere and everywhere. The system giving the breakdowns of a prorated rent also helps a lot.

Cons

I wish we could get one-on-one training and personally interacting with the trainer to see of more options or how more we can we can use this program in other ways. My coworker says there are features that we do not even know about and can make our job more easy and fast

### "One of the best applications/company I've ever worked with!"

February 19, 2019

5.0

Top notch! I'm made fun of around the office for liking any application as much as I like AppFolio. The customer service is fantastic. I've never been given "good enough" answer to my questions. If they person I talk to does not have the answer, they will turn to their programmers and come back with solutions if possible and if not, they help me come up with a work-around.

Pros

AppFolio is very adaptable. There are tons of features to automate things for you. I've been using AppFolio for almost 5 years, and it has continually evolved into a more robust application. Their Help Center answers almost every question I've come up with and includes lots of troubleshooting step-by-step solutions. They have a client suggestion website that they continually work with follow-up questions and statuses that let you know if a feature is in production, released, or not planned. Over the years I have seen so many suggestions become features.

Cons

Lack of audit capabilities. However, I know they have a team working on this.

Pretty large system that takes some time to learn. They have great video tutorials to help. They are continually updating the system with new features. Very detailed and custom reports. Our tenants enjoy paying online and the owners like getting their statements online. The customer support is usually same day service by email.

Pros

I like how the system is organized.

Cons

The accounting can be difficult. Some of it is not automated.

Accounting is a little difficult to navigate but the customer service/help desk is very responsive and helpful so problems are resolve in a timely manner.
