idealista
If you need to sell or rent your house, the app allows you to upload idealista listings for flats, garages, commercial property, shared accommodation or offices, including all necessary information including up to 40 photos. and if you already have an listing on idealista, you can modify or change as well as add photos.
If you are looking for a home, our team has analysed the experiences of our millions of users to provide the best property search engine possible. it’s especially useful when you're on the road and want to know if there is any property of interest in the area.
We have hundreds of thousands of homes and rooms advertised on sale and for rent in madrid, barcelona and even in the village of your grandmother. we will show those who are close to you thanks to android geo-location. the application scans a radius of 10 km and provides a list of homes ordered by proximity to your position You can find flats, houses, rooms or whatever you need in the area you like (without being there) through the browser in which you can enter the street and area. once you have the list, you can filter using the same criteria that exist on the web version When an listing catches your eye, you can see every detail including photos, description, viewing the location on the map as well as being able to contact the advertiser. you can even save it as a favourite to view it later on your device or from your computer at home. tricks:
Remember when you want to search a particular area, to use the search box in the same way as google maps If you only get a few results, try to change the filters or expanding search radius If you're going to post an listing, take pictures with care. low quality images drastically reduce success of listingsto access your account, enter your password carefully since the phone keypads are very treacherous (if you pay attention to capital letters, special characters, or if it is a shared computer) If you are missing something, in the section 'more stuff' we have a 'tell us something' so we can include it in future updates

Inadequate The app allows to sort by city boroughs but then doesn't allow to pick more sub-areas in the same borrough. It constantly sends notifications about "new" listings when these listings have been there for months (a really annoying feature and a waste of time). It doesn't allow certain common filters (e.g. "private garden" and not just "garden").
Updated to 4 stars - I'm finding the feature to save and name searches very useful as I'm not sure where I want to go in Spain. For 5 stars I'd like better maps that show more detail and the option to select language for the whole app rather than translate each listing - although the listing translation is great. I'm being picky that's all. I recommend Idealista to anyone looking to rent or buy in Spain.
Update: much improved app, and it's possible that it's the best available. Save searches could be better. A number of faults include, returning from looking at a property causes the app to freeze, returning loses your place in what's already been seen. Drawing a map is very hot or miss, with no accuracy which brings up houses not in the drawn area. The Map does not work at all on an iPad. It could be the best app for searching for houses, but need development to make it's useable.
Very helpful app which is easy to use. However, the time of publication filters don't seem to be accurate. Also would be helpful if properties near beaches could be filtered by view of water and/or distance from the beach.
Designed by real estate agents. Idealista refuses to add 2 simple filters on the ads (short/long term, and private/agent). So, if you're looking for long term flats, you have to go through each and every ad and read to see if the it's written anywhere, most times you've to call anyway. This makes it basically impossible to find something in the jungle of flats. And you can't filter for private/agent either. So you're forced to go to a few agencies and ask them to find you something anyway. Pity!
Regular notifications of a very specific area is just what I need when living out of the country. I like being able to save favourites and make notes for my own use and comparison. Also good to hear if listing has changed price so that I can get a sense of the market.
The app just about does the job, but there are usability issues. The buttons are very small, and I'm constantly liking instead of discarding an advert, or I'm opening something when I meant to discard it. Which means you have to wait for it to load before you can back and try again.
The best app for a detailed search of all areas in Spain. The only criticism is that sometimes I see the same posts twice or more times. It seems that the people that place the lists are changing one little detail and posting the same house more times to create more traffic.
Great app but wish for a few things. As a former real estate broker I would want: 1) Would be great if you could filter out or collapse the numerous duplicate listings that exist due to open listings. 2) would be great to filter out houses under construction 3) you currently can't search by land area 4) would be nice to be able to group favorites 5) would be nice to be able to save comments on properties not in your favorites
I find many more listings on Idealista than on other sites. One major problem I encounter repeatedly is the failure of the listing agency to respond to emails. In that context it is disappointing.
One of the best house search apps I've used. My favourite feature is the ability to discard adverts so you don't end up repeatedly looking at ones you're not interested in.
The app works well. However, whenever I receive any notification, clicking on that gives error message "Something went wrong". I have to restart the app after that. This is a bit annoying.
The app is easy to use. You can draw an area to search which is what I use the most. You have a map with your listing. You will receive notifications for changes in your listing.
Very professional, but the ads are not updated by the publishers. Lose of time and money
tengo problemas con la app .no puedo ver los mensajes. solo por correo ....Idealista team says that now it works well and the bug is fix but its not true. it is unposible to see any notification...pls fix it!!!
Awesome app if you are searching property to buy or rent. Available for Spain, Portugal or Italy. Great to seek property gems.
Brilliant. Easy to navigate, most of adverts have full details. A certain are can be set. I will definitely recommend.
I love that it has a geo-location feature so you can quickly scan around wherever you are, just out of curiosity!
Great app. I would love to have capacity to search by lot size. Aside from that ... Perfect.
Simply the best site for property searching in Spain. Have tried others and they are nowhere near as useful.
Best real estate platform, hands down. 3 countries of listings, Google translated descriptions, auto rotate for pictures, etc are all unique features I have not seen elsewhere. Great UI, everything is easy to find. Only thing I'd like to see is dark mode. Amazing app!
Great tool for real estate search. I am able to easily search several countries to see what they have to offer.
An app that's simply made to connect you with real estate agencies. Not advisable if you're looking for a direct contact with landlords
The ability to search by land size really set this app apart, too bad that filter is gone in the new version.
Good app. It would be even better if you would request the owners/ professionals to mark as unavailable the properties that have already been rented, or update the date of availability. Or to time-out an ad that doesn't get updated in some time. A lot of time gets wasted calling unavailable properties.
Great app, however it would be nice to have a search function that you can find a house with certain amount of land sizing...like example I looking for a house with more then 1 hectares of land. It would be greatly appreciated if you can add this function
Well, considering all the other apps I've tried, this one by far was the best. I especially liked the correct saving of personalize search areas, the ability to personalize your search criteria and the approach to sensible notification criteria. One thing to improve would be the detection of duplicated ads (aka false ads).
