5 Maryam E.  · Snug was easy to use and made the rental application process simple and straightforward.
5 Pawan  · My experience with Snug has been pretty good. I loved the way it made my first time renting so easy and fast. Loved using it.
1 Brendan  · Site is not user friendly, requires all boxes to be filled even when they do not apply. Save function doesn't always work.
5 Karthi kp  · It is fast and easy to get the new property
5 Konstantin K  · Snug made finding our first apartment quite easy! We submitted our documents to our broker, and everything went smoothly after!
1 Harrison  · Forces you to pay for their background check without the option to add your own. SHAMELESS

Snug is a really easy app to use. It’s made the entire process so much easier and I absolutely love that. It saves my information. I don’t have to go back and rewrite it 100 times.

The site was easy, clear, concise, organized and fast. It gave both parties access to your information allowing me to apply to other properties simultaneously; avoiding the need to organize a stack of documents that required scanning and emailing to every agency.

Honestly we have had to use about 4 different website profiles to apply for houses and this is the only one that gave us issues with errors and log in. It turns out my partners phone number (new to him since feb) was associated with another user of the website. This was a huge issue when tryign to submit urgent applications for housing in a housing crisis.

Snug made the rental process fast and organised. Creating one profile and applying to multiple properties saved time, and uploading documents was straightforward. The only downside is some agencies don’t actively use Snug, so it’s worth confirming. Overall, it’s convenient, user friendly and helped streamline my rental search.

The UI does not allow you to edit your employment history. I.e. if you made a mistake, or want to "end" the job (that says it is still 'current'), good luck. You have to 'remove' that employment, then 'add' a new one and fill it out all over again. No 'edit' button!

The customer service centre is almost worthless if you are a renter – I asked a simple question about an application status that wasn't listed in the FAQ (here: https://help.snug.com/hc/en-us/articles/360000132355-What-is-the-status-of-my-application). '[Name Removed]' from Snug kept sending me form responses that didn't address the issue that I was having. When I clarified the issue, they told me to check my… Read more

applications page, which is where the issue is.

No help. No explanation. No use at all.

Avoid any real estate agents that use this site.

Thanks so much Snug for creating a safe online portal to store my information and provide an easy way to apply for rental listings quickly. It was great knowing that what I have uploaded has been passed on accurately and that each page clearly stated what was needed to create a great application.

Absolutely rubbish app for rental application. Way too much personal data needed for a basic application, it is easier to get a passport or firearms licence. Asks to adjust rental price to stand out (rental bidding illegal in NSW), not user friendly and cannot progress unless you mark all boxes, even if they don't relate to your application. Scam website probably selling your information to other scammers. If I could give zero stars I would.

Your application is scored based on the amount of rent you're willing to pay more than the advertised amount. This is a sneaky way of rent bidding which is illegal. Also, paid background checks also increase your score, as well as a cover letter, which is absolutely st^pid considering you're applying for a house, not a job. All you have to do on… Read more

your rental application is lie about the total amount you'll pay and you'll be placed on the top of the list. Real estates should be embarrassed for using this app because applications are not beings scanned properly by honest and loyal tenants, only keeping the top 2 or 3 high scoring applicants and denying the rest.

Any positive reviews here are clearly fake, there is not a single part of the app that is not broken. From real estate agents having to manually collect everyone's details at inspections, to our situation, where I can never apply for a property again. I had half an application in for a property that I was unable to complete and has since been… Read more

deleted, so I cannot withdraw it. If I get a reply from Snug it is the same form letter telling me to select an option that isn't available (withdraw.) If I try another application it will not allow me to apply or withdraw. No-one at Snug cares, they are making a lot of money and don't have to even think about the people they are making homeless.

Snug is a great rental application website because of its transparency throughout the process. When looking for a rental, you can often be left in the dark for a while about the status of your application. Snug has status reports that show whether it is with the owner or not, which was very insightful for us. Furthermore, the format of the… Read more

Snug is one of the worst websites I've had the misfortune of using, in general. Used it as a rental applicant. Snug is buggy, and often displays errors: sometimes the upload box will simply disappear on you, requiring you to refresh the application page, losing everything else you've put in; sometimes, a drop-down will simply inform you the code… Read more

string for it isn't valid. Snug will sometimes ask for tedious doubling up, like wanting rental ledgers both in the 'Other Documents', yet also to re-upload it to attach to each property you've ever lived in - or by asking you to fill in your current address details in the application, and also on your profile. It features a pointless 'match metric' that seems to only care that there's more information, not what that information actually is.

The amount of extra stress this has added to my application for a potential home has ensured I will simply not apply with anywhere that uses Snug as their application method. If it isn't redoing applications because the site's bugged, it's being spammed emails. Even my landlord was being pestered by them. Don't trust any good reviews you see of this enterprise.

If you are a real estate company, or a private rental provider, I would strongly recommend avoiding Snug - you will miss out on good tenants who simply will not jump through the hoops this site requires that others simply don't. Other rental application sites are simply more competent and less invasive than Snug. One star because I cannot give it any lower.

Snug makes an already stressful process even more stressful, avoid using if you can help it. 2apply was much less intrusive, more intuitive and didn't spam you with emails for additional services.

Snug is poor quality app that adds unnecessary stress to the rental application process in my experience and offers no actual customer service. No one to assist, just email after email that does not address the issue. Hours to update a profile, unable to edit and …did I mention so many emails ….cant put in more than one application at a time yet… Read more

you need to because it takes so long to deal with all the glitches you miss out on the property anyway. The good reviews on here I feel are not genuine, just my opinion. Anyway forced to use this app so no choice.

Absolutely worst application ever. Keeps telling me my living arrangements are invalid WTAF?? It won't accept facts to move on. Done with it!!!!! Looks like we miss out on applying for rentals because of this utter useless app!

I really don't like tenant app... buts it's tolerable. And then there is SNUG. This is hands down the worst app I've ever used in my life. Like it literally makes you not even want that Property anymore. User-friendly? No way. Doesn't matter what you do if you breathe you're making mistake. I sincerely hope in my lifetime I never have to use that hideous app again ever. Useless and intolerable

snug is good, i see the intention, but please make more optional boxes, nearly everything is mandatory, you will not be able to proceed if you have left something out. They also ask for pay slips and bank statements without clear indication of how many, they also need you to type how much money is in your savings, and they would encourage you to… Read more

post your profile picture (to increase your chances? whatever that means),employment needs to be confirmed via email to your employer, your student details also need proof that you are studying (a lot of unnecessary information). I am glad Aus is moving towards a more standardised way of doing application forms, no more unnecessary and invasive questioning.

Forced to apply through this app, problems with logging in and customer support is slow and served with attitude. To make matters worse, Snug have now sold my data to service providers and Im now being hounded with calls to my mobile.

Snug assisted me for renting a property efficiently. Saving me a lot of time for contacting referees, real estate agents, etc. The property manager Judy is very helpful. She is a very experienced and smart manager.

Riddled with bugs, Zendesk support non-existent - Cannot complete application and will likely lose the property because the platform is so pathetic. Avoid at all costs.

I had been hunting for a house for a while in Sydney (no easy feat) but the Snug website made application time easy. As soon as you’ve completed your profile and references/rental history, the system stores everything on file. Applying for a property literally just takes minutes, so one less thing to worry over. The system’s approach to ranking… Read more

which properties were suitable was also scarily accurate! Highly recommend using this system, by far the easier of all the rental application programs out there.

First time renting in a long time. Being a sole trader i found there was no options for us. I ended up having to adjust private info on invoices and show the corresponding payments into bank to prove my income. Overall once all uploaded it was great way to apply for properties. A few clicks and submitted. Feedback on inspections was great tool too. Negative - property emails for areas i am not interested in
