Pros

“During our time with AppFolio we were able to build a bigger portfolio, and it helped us to keep everything organized. Once we reached a large number of units it began to glitch our payments were messed up.”
RL

Raechelle L.

Bookkeeper

“From listing properties, managing leads, processing applications, signing leases, collecting rent, handling resident communications, submitting and tracking work orders, paying bills, to providing accounting and income reports for owners and vendors”

“The mobile access is also handy if you need to check something quickly away from the office.”
LH

Leslie H.

Founder

Pros

“Wonder if too many revisions updates are necessary or wait and update several at one time.”
TD

TONEY D.

Property Manager

“Their website looks great - but it's mostly smoke and mirrors.”
AC

Adam C.

HOA Treasurer

“I found the interface generally user-friendly, and features like the accounting processing.”

Financial accountant

Cons

“Some of the workflows seem to be overly complicated, especially on payments, reporting or more obscure tasks.”
LH

Leslie H.

Founder

“Waiting for someone to email you or chat with you so that you can get support is annoying because they don’t get back to you right away.”
JH

Jasmine H.

Property Manager

“Customer service can be frustrating when you just want a quick fix.”
LH

Leslie H.

Founder

Cons

“Customer support for HOAs is non-existent.”
AC

Adam C.

HOA Treasurer

“Way too many issues, and extremely slow speed of rectifying these issues with Association Voice.”
CH

Cory H.

Lifestyle Director

“We had roles changed on us, which confused one of our users - causing the user to accidentally delete a content folder. When we contacted Frontsteps for a backup within 10 minutes of the incident, they told us they don't do backups.”
