You guys are thieves for charging money to read messages. I mean be up front about your services costing money don't bait and then switch to the fine print that's just rude. 5 day subscription, aka pay again if you don't find a place in 5 days... wack

I've literally only paid for your service, haven't had time to check any rooms out and you already want a rating? Ask after someone finds some place to stay

You should let people know upfront that they have to pay for communicating with others.

It's ridiculous that I have to pay to use a basic service such as messaging someone. What is the point of even offering a free service anyway if you can't use it?

App was broken and not letting me update the date of my previous listing. It looked like the "Done" button was hidden in the very top right corner and my screen wouldn't allow me to click there. Then I had to make a new account.

I was very surprised to not be able to access the message without purchase of your program.
Being forth right is what I expect from my tenants and would from you as well. You should have required an up front cost and not at the back end. Being unable to access messages was pretty trickie to me.
Your Roomster Corp. Terms of Use is very detailed and up front. That tells me you understand how you tricked me... stop already!

I Think that having to pay to use a site that can be the difference between being homeless and having basic neccessities is disgusting
