Astawq : Ethiopian Rentals, News, Music and Drama
On version-5 Astawq added Ethiopian music services which will bring you the latest and UpToDate Ethiopian music from popular YouTube Channels. In addition to that, users can tune to popular Ethiopian news outlets for the day to day life and events related to Ethiopians. We have also introduced Ethiopian movies and dramas like Senselet and Betoch.
Finding a house to rent for a sizable, newer Ethiopian diaspora community is challenging. For most, it takes a while to learn the language of the hosting nation, find sustainable jobs, and build credit to establish themselves before finding rental properties. During such difficult time, most will look into monthly newspapers to find their next rental home or roommates. Others regularly check advertisements on local notice boards of convenience stores, cafes and restaurants in which a good majority of them are outdated.
Astawq is built to fill this gap and provide a fresh listing of rental properties and services. Each listing in Astawq has a date stamp that show the posted date of the ad together with the contact information of the property owner or the person who seeks a roommate.
Astawq's service is not limited to Ethiopian diaspora residing in the United States, Canada and Europe. Users in Ethiopia’s major metropolitan cities like Addis Ababa, Dire Dawa, Bahir Dar, Jimma, Gondar, Dese, Mekelle, Hawasa, Nekemte, Adama (Debre-Zeit) and Nazreth (Bishoftu) will also find it useful due to urbanization and population explosions that is outpacing housing infrastructure projects such as condominiums and apartments.
The app also helps eliminate the expenses Ethiopian small businesses and service providers incur to market themselves. It fosters quick findability in an easy to use listing based on category, location and search functionalities built within the app. The App is also created having local tradition in mind and we will make regular updates to add more features and list of service providers as we see fit.
Astawq currently lists the following services
• Ethiopian house rental
• Roommates seeking to share rooms

• Ethiopian markets and convenient stores

One of the best Apps, made my life easier moving to a new city. I'm super glad to be able find a rental at the click of a button. Kudos to the developer. Thank you!
Very good, easy to use app. One thing to fix is that there should be a way to edit/remove one's own post. When someone is interested is should also be able to send notifications. Otherwise, I find it very helpful. Thanks you.
it's an awesome advertising system. I had a House for rent and I advertised them an astawq ad and I rented them within 2 days. I really appreciated who ever created this app. it is also free. it's really amazing!! Thanks!!
I rate this based on my experience You can post but can not edit easily to manage and it is not user friendly! "FYI .. we are just about to release a feature that allows users to Edit in addition to editing from our website. We provided this cheap service for our community and we are not profiting from it. But some bad elements in our community like you seem to not apprecate it. So kindly do not use our app in the future. Thank you"
It's a sound and friendly app. And the team was very helpful and receptive. Keep up the good work!
Idea is good, bit Removing or editing an ad is impossible on this app! Meaning we don't control, A big minus –
Good experience keep up on it Please also if the ad is expired you have to remove it from the list
