### "Perfect for property managers within the single family home and apartment space area."

July 9, 2019

4.0

Overall experience has been great aside from the length of time it takes to make any changes to accounts etc. It should feel and look more like a live report while you are on it .

Pros

I recommended this to a property manager and also installed it. We found that it was simple and easy yet you could do so much with this software. Renters can pay their rent, keep track of payments, print, customize reports and property managers can also track and manage reports for multiple tenants. Al of the reporting can also be shared with outside vendors. This was and is the perfect software for property managers that are on a smaller, not a huge commercial scale. with high volume properties. One of the best things about this software is that there is a capability to screen prospective tenants, you can also text a tenant right through the software and do so much more. The value and services cater to both the landlord/property manager and the tenant.

Cons

Quite a bit of logging in and out to verify a change has actually been completed or made. It doesn't automatically change while you are on the actual page where you made the initial change.

Thank you. You have made our office function in a proficient way which makes our lives easier

Pros

Comprehensive, Easy to Use, available as an app, response from AppFolio support is terrific, Stock doing very well!

We have been requesting a program to do lease renewals in NY. So far it has not available. We are not sure when it will be available.

Dear Diane, thank you for the glowing review! It is our goal to make your lives easier by helping you streamline your processes. To stay compliant, we have been unable to build out the lease renewal feature in NY, but we hope new legislation will be passed that enables us to build this out in the future. We look forward to continuing to work with you!

### "Pretty good."

October 31, 2017

5.0

I give it a B plus right now.

Pros

There are a lot of nice features. You can access it from any computer or smart phone. It's the best property management program I have seen to date.

Cons

A bit clunky in areas. Sometimes you use the tab key to go from field to field and it will bypass the field you wanted to go to and skip forward to another field which requires you to shift tab or use your mouse. Frustrating and time consuming. Also Appfolio continually makes changes to the program which is frustrating when you are used to using the program in one way and then have to learn the new way to use it.

### "AppFolio"

March 12, 2019

5.0

Pros

What I like most is the ease of using the software.

Cons

My least favorite thing about this software is the Accounting functions. In my company its hard to do certain things in the system so we created work a around. It just takes a little longer to complete tasks.

### "Appfoliio is a game changer"

November 11, 2019

3.0

Appfolio makes it easy to keep track of all my properties, see all the details in one place, and i can filter out what I don't need to see regularly. I like that.

Pros

Applfolio is so easy to use, plus they have self help modules and support staff to help answer any questions, they made learning to use this software very easy.

Cons

It was a little hard to get used to the lay out of the software, but because I was new to it and had been using Yardi for so long, I chalked it up to being new, now it's great though. I love Appfolio.

### "Used AppFolio for years with great success!"

June 26, 2018

5.0

Pros

I used AppFolio for 2+ years with my previously property and loved how easy it was to use and how many financial reports I had access too.

Cons

There are a lot of ways to do a lot of things on AppFolio :) I do suggest there to be more education if needed and notifications of updates.

### "Excellent property management product "

December 14, 2017

5.0

Overall, a great property management program. It would be beneficial to new customers to have a more detailed accounting introduction. Most people do not understand double entry accounting, which Appfolio requires, when they begin and that causes massive problems which is what we encountered in the beginning. We are still working on fixing the mistakes made during the initial set up and beginning accounting.

Pros

Ease of use and functionality. The work flow and various ways to report activity is great along with the ability to track everything related to a property.

Cons

How difficult it is to get new features instituted that have been voted on by hundreds of customers. Why there are many helpful features introduced all the time, there are several that would be very beneficial to us such as: Photos attached to inspections, work orders, etc. The tenant may think it is a plumbing issue, & turns out to be a HVAC issue, etc. Allowing tenants paying to choose what they are paying to reduce the amount of journal entries required due to correct misapplied payments.

### "Very Good Software for Property Management"

December 15, 2019

5.0

Much better than previous software we used, but much more expensive. Benefits outweigh costs differential.

Pros

Navigation is easy although sometimes it is hard to find what I need, but learning curve is short.

Cons

Customization. When suggestions or need for customization are requested it can be rather long process. This is a database program. Organizing data should be easier.

5.0

Pros

1) Easy to use and figure out on your own. User friendly. 2) Useful information about your tenants is easy to find and store. 3) Vendor feature is a good start.

### "Makes life easier"

November 27, 2019

5.0

Time management

Pros

This program is user friendly and always updating and adding new features. This program saves time.

Cons

I would like to be able to send the automatic follow up to all my clients not just to those who confirm. So many do not confirm, but still show up to look. I would like to be able to print an availability list with just active properties, that we have available at this time.

Awesome experience.

Pros

This software is incredibly user friendly and is constantly being updated in great ways to make it even more so. Everything is so intuitive that even when there is something new to do, etc I find it very easy to walk myself through it. I've been using this software for 7 years I think and it just gets better all the time.

Cons

I wish we started using it like 3 years earlier!

### "Very User-Friendly for Non-Accountant"

April 9, 2019

5.0

Converting to AppFolio allowed us to break away from the esoteric real estate software and utilize our general office staff. This has saved significant SS by not having to use degreed accountants.

Pros

Ease of use and intuitive work flow. For the first time in years, we were able to transfer our workflow to non-accountants.

Cons

As with any software that is written for a broad customer base, there is some rigidity but we were able to adapt.

July 13, 2017

5.0

Pros

The product has tremendous functionality but is also easy to implement and use. The AppFolio people are great to work with. They are very enthusiastic about the product and extremely customer-focused.

Cons

I have nothing significant to say about the cons of the product. If I had to pick something, I'd say that it would be nice if the standard GL Accounts were a little more extensive.

### "AppFolio Property Management review"

November 2, 2018

5.0

Positive experience. No longer need paper to manage properties, things can be done instantly.

Pros

Transparency and convenience, help center, customer support.

Cons

We had problems with how rental ads get distributed to other partner web sites from AppFolio through their marketing network: not all information we enter gets reflected in appropriate boxes, some boxes for the information we entered stays blank in the partner sites, like Zillow. When we take the rental off the market and move in tenants in AppFolio, the property was still showing as available at Rent.com

### "Not that easy to use"

July 27, 2018

4.0

Pros

Well, it is not that easy to use this software at first. You need a couple of days to understand how it works and it's not getting easier later.

Cons

Well, I think it is a bit too complicated . Also, it's too pricy for small landlords with not that big portfolio.

### "Appfoblio"

February 22, 2017

3.0

The program is not that easy to understand and it take a lot of hands on use to even get a fraction of understanding. IT is hard to get reports exactly as you need them. It is not a bad program but could be a bit more user friendly and have a mobile application that worked a bit better.

Cons

Not easy to use Report hard to indvidualize

December 13, 2019

Excellent experience! They are always listening to their clients and making any improvements or add ons we suggest.

Pros

I have everything available online, anytime. Whether at the office, home or on the road with the mobile app.

Cons

Very little really. Sometimes there is a certain order you must do something, such as reverse temporary credits, but once you know, it's very easy. Appfolio is always there to help too.

We manage more problems with your employees and do you sell more efficiently with greater customer experience for bothe owners and tenants.

Pros

Everything about the Appfolio software has led us to greater efficiencies and organization not to mention paperless . We are only out of touch if we want to be otherwise we always have access I can respond to tenants and owners . The online tenant payment system and owner portal‘s and direct deposit to bank accounts I’ll work seamlessly.

Cons

I haven’t found anything that I don’t like about Appfolio.

### "Best Property Management Software!"

January 29, 2019

5.0

We have been absolutely delighted with AppFolio and our onboarding team. Our previous software system was completely archaic and time consuming that we had maxed out on the number of properties we could efficiently manage. Since moving to AppFolio we have doubled our client base and we now have unlimited potential for growth. The onboarding team responds to all of our inquiries and questions promptly and have been an absolute dream to work with. The training videos, online support and webinars have made the process of transitioning run smoothly.

Pros

The software is so user friendly and intuitive. The software provides the best tools to serve both your owners and tenants. AppFolio has reduced the entire processing time for Owner Payments by more than 1/2. We have been able to provide all of our owners with their unique individual needs for reporting, which we had not been able to offer our clients with our previous software. The accounting process for billing vendors is so easy and time efficient.

Cons

The only thing we would like to have AppFolio be able to do ... is have a database for us to track potential owners we have communicated with ....and then be able to activate them into new owners once they sign on.
