### "Tenant Portal Use"

January 25, 2023

4.0

It is a decent platform for property management.

Pros

It makes it easy to set up payment plans and track lease payment.

Cons

I wish that they kept our lease easily accessible in the AppFolio app so that it can be located quickly. It also would be helpful to have a contacts tab for tenants to easily access their landlords and contacts.

Hi Mackenzie, thank you for your review! If the Property Manager is sending the lease through AppFolio, then the tenant can view their leases on the Property Details tab. If they aren't sending the lease through AppFolio, they'd have to upload the lease to the tenant page, share it with them, and then it would appear on the Shared Documents tab. It depends how the Property Manager is doing it, I would suggest reaching out to the Property Manager directly to get further information!

September 20, 2019

5.0

Pros

This software makes our daily work so much easier. It allows us to stay very organized.

Cons

As much as we love this software, we also have a few reservations. Whenever they come out with something new and improved, we are not able to cater the update to fit our business. I really wish they could give us more choices and freedom to change things that do not work for our company.

Pros

I love that you continue to add new features. When we first started with Appfolio everything was really basic and you are always open to adding to the program to make our jobs easier.

Cons

Sometimes it is hard getting resolution to issues that come up. Its not that you don't respond but you don't always understand what our issue is.

pleasant, easy, flows well.

Pros

I love the search bar and how easy it is to find ANYTHING you need. Appfolio is very user-friendly. I love how easy it is to not have to backtrack and update a report instead of starting at the beginning again.

Cons

I did not find anything I did not like. Overall I have had a good experience

### "Most user friendly Property Management Software out there!"

June 29, 2018

5.0

I've used several Property Management software in the past, mostly Yardi, and Appfolio is my favorite by far. The ease of use is fantastic. It works great for those who are not so tech savvy as well of those who have advanced skills. So far there hasn't been any "glitches" or shut downs to deal with. With Yardi, those happened often. I definitely give Appfolio 5 stars!

Pros

1\. Very user friendly 2. Everything is simple and to the point 3. Not a lot of glitches 4. Data entry is fast and efficient 5. Gets the job done without a lot of unnecessary steps

Cons

1\. Could use more detailed reports and filter options 2. Could use more tenant data options like Parking space #, and or Reason for moving, for example.

### "Excellent Company"

October 30, 2018

5.0

Pros

Appfolio is a top-notch program in the property management industry. The company direction to go vertical is a great strategy. The functionality of the program is can be applied to different fields easily.

Cons

I have no complaint about Appfolio. Just want to know if Appfolio can create something similar for restaurant management. It can be very daunting industry to manage things

### "Ease of use"

February 1, 2019

5.0

We are very glad we adopted this software, especially it is all in the cloud and we can never lose any information due to a computer malfunction

Pros

It is very user-friendly and has a lot of tips and customer service is only a phone call away. Never found a glitch and enables me to contact directly my workers and tenants as well.

Cons

Could do with an easier interface in the mobile application (on the phone) but still manageable. And as I use it in many devices I have to wait for a code to enable me the use of the new device. I do understand the need of this for security reasons, but it can become bothersome.

### "So far it has been helpful"

February 21, 2017

3.0

I do like appfolio and in the long run I think it will become very beneficial, but the learning curve is steep. They do a great job trying to bring you up to speed, but no matter what you are still learning a whole new software. Their support remains strong for the first 6 months, but there does seem to be some turnover on their side.

Pros

They have good reports and I like the mobile aspect-you can look at and analyze a lot from different devices and different locations. The ability to scan and keep checks and invoices all with your transactions makes investigations easy.

Cons

We are still learning everything it does. Inevitably, there will be some features you would like that have not been created yet.

December 6, 2016

5.0

I have been in the property management business since 1970 and worked many different "accounting" systems, I have trouble with Appfolio system because it has more steps than I have been accustom to using with other software that I used for more than 10 years, however the system appfolio offers is far more advance then others and I do like it, its not your system that needs improvement it's my understanding of it. At 70 it is harder for me to learn new things but I will keep trying until I get it right. I intend to keep the appfolio system until I am no longer working.

Pros

Great support staff, help tips are easy to read sometimes easy to understand, often times I need to be walked through a program sometimes more than once.

### "Great program"

October 4, 2019

5.0

This is a state of the art program! It truly makes our life easier, having everything in one place is great! Easy to learn and very helpful people.

Pros

This program is constantly upgrading and making new items to help make our life easier and quicker to do things. I am sure there is still a lot that I don't use on this program that would benefit me and my company.

Cons

That there's not videos showing everything.

### "No Support"

February 21, 2020

2.0

We can't even reconcile correctly since no one from AppFolio will provide assistance.

Pros

If your company could provide support, maybe we could reap the benefits you advertise.

Cons

The support is pretty much non-existent. If we call in or email the response time is horrible. The only response we do get is a guide emailed to us. it's disappointing to pay for a service and receive no actual service.

September 19, 2019

5.0

Pros

As someone who was new the property management industry when I came onboard a year and a half ago, I found AppFolio very easy to learn and navigate. The training resources were and continue to be extremely helpful. The support response with questions / concerns is absolutely a 10/10.

Cons

Would be helpful if there was a feature where any emails, texts, notes associated with a page (Tenant, Owner, or Property) could be listed in chronological order. This would be helpful if have to prepare a timeline of events for court, etc.

### "Benefits of Appfolio "

July 15, 2020

5.0

Overall experience is great. System works for all departments in out company from maintenance to leasing.

Pros

System can be set up to work for a lot of different types of roles. With all the rental properties entered it is so easy for any user to add notes and have information all in one place. Systems does everything from tenant letters to completing leases.

Cons

It would be nice when sending work order tickets out if the texting button would allow custom messages or for message to be edited.

### "Simple and cost effective"

July 25, 2019

4.0

Pros

The office point was reasonable for usage and it sooner a lot if the issues it office was having at the time. We needed an online portal for payments and maintenance requests to stay better organized. The software also helped our tenants get their payment history and what free we're accessed for various services provided. It really helped the efficiency of the office in keeping pertinent tenant information all in one place and not scattered in everyone's individual email boxes.

Cons

From my experience in the set-up process, it did take some time, especially not having such a system to switch from. I'm sure if we had a similar one prior, the prices would have been much easier.

Keeping track of communications.

Pros

Cons

Sometimes it is difficult to decide which area you need to be in, for example, work orders.

### "Stay Away"

September 16, 2021

1.0

Just a huge was of time, money and a headache.

Pros

We wanted this for community management but it isn't really for that at all although they say it is. Stay away, we wasted a lot of time and money on this and now they even want to charge for what they cannot provide. The worst product we ever went to.

Cons

It simply doesn't work well, conversion to it is a nightmare and then it can't even produce the reports we needed that are in QuickBooks! I mean seriously, what were we thinking!? We should have vetted them much better.

Reason for choosing AppFolio Property Manager

They talked a good game but when you have issues it is just more talk. We made a big mistake going to them. Oh, one more thing to be aware of. The stuff, practice sites, they let you look at don't give you the whole picture. Again, be aware!

Overall, the program meets our needs.

Pros

I like the customer support that comes with the program. The support staff are fantastic in walking me through any issues that I have and always follow up to be sure that the concern is resolved. AppFolio is always working toward improving features and I hope that they continue to develop features that are geared specifically toward Common Interest Development Management. (HOA's)

Cons

Limitations in which reports are available for Board Member Packets and the inability to print certain reports within a date range that I choose.

This product is so great , It has a live support and they are so accommodating. I suggest you should try this product.

Pros

This product was so great! It has the record of your online conversation and I like that feature so much and it has time to time tracking of payments and it automatically charge fees for late payment.

Cons

There is one thing I didn't like this product , when there is an error on my transaction sometimes it fails to notify me and it cause me a lot of problems, other than that it is great product.

### "AppFolio Property Management Software Review"

November 14, 2018

5.0

I use AppFolio every day for my job as an on-site property manager. I really enjoy the ease of use. It has all the features I need to complete everyday tasks, such as detailed tenant information, the ability to contact the tenant via text message or email directly through the program. It has a place for everything. Information is filed & organized & everything is laid out & straightforward. I have been extremely satisfied with this software.

Pros

I like the ease of use that I have found in this program. Everything I need is at my fingertips & I can look at it in multiple formats that present the information from a different perspective. (Ex: Tenant Ledger vs Unpaid Charges Report. Basically the same information, but broken down differently.)

Cons

I honestly cannot find anything about this software that I dislike.
