Apartments.com is one of the most popular ways to find an apartment online, but with only an iOS application and a mobile website, Android users found themselves missing the convenience of a native application. Now, that’s fixed - the application has arrived on the Android Market and it’s free.
It’s got a very simple and intuitive interface, and makes use of the phone’s location awareness by showing properties for rent nearby. You can also narrow down your searches by location, price, number of bedrooms, number of bathrooms, amenities and others.
What makes Apartments.com stand out though is its rich collection of photos, floorplans and video walkthroughs, which will definitely save you some time. For the rest - there is Craigslist. You can find the application on the Market via the link below.
