Went from Rent Manager to AppFolio and all my prayers were answered!
User friendly, anticipates issues and addresses them, good looking
The time it takes portal deposits to hit our account

Appfolio is very easy to navigate and keep track of all tenants.
The accounting software on appfolio is severely lacking compared to other products such as rent manager.

Love it, my clients of 10 years plus also love it!!!
It makes my job much more efficient! Recently switched from rent Manager, Appfolio is so much more efficient. I would not hesitate to recommend this software!
Take a little bit of getting use to. Also price is a little high!

AppFolio has been a great transition for our office and has been great to have during these times. Working from home has been easier to handle thanks to being able to access the software from anywhere.
Being able to send rent increases and Lease renewals all from the software is a great timesaver and it decreases the chances of making human errors.
Rent increases cannot be prepared according to its corresponding local rent control ordinance. Or per regions with Rent Control and properties with no Rent Control.

I use AppFolio to pay the rent for my office but also to request maintenance for my office.
I like how easy it makes it for me to manage my lease for my office. I can log in and request maintenance, pay my rent, or contact my property manager.
I am usually able to come up with some cons but honestly so far I haven’t had any negative experiences with this software.

Tenant Portal accessibility - on line application,
No signature place for inspections. And tenant statement including next month's rent as current rent due and Current's month rent past due.

Overall, it’s makes things so much easier.
The main feature, for me as a resident manager, is being able to communicate quickly and easily with my tenants with a group email or text. Also, this building has been a paper check for rent building forever, but my tenants are loving being able to pay rent on line, see their balance, etc.
There’s really nothing difficult. Very user friendly.

Accounting and prospect management made simple.
You cant transfer someone to another unit in another property. Rent roll should also show actual rent collected from each tenant. Calendar still needs work.

I am so glad we took the plunge and switched to Appfolio!! There experience has been amazing and since the change we have never looked back! We now have the advanced technology that makes our jobs so much easier! LOVE IT!!
I like all of it....plus Appfolio keeps changing things up to keep up with the times
not much, maybe a better tracking of rent increases

Ease of collecting monthly rent payments
It's so easy to navigate around the program. Also it has so many features that we use.
I can't really think of anything that I don't like about it.

The best thing our company has done in 30 years ... started using Appfolio Property Manager almost 2 years ago. Set-up of the system, though time consuming, was rewarding because of the help Appfolio's team gave us. Customer service is excellent. They respond quickly to our needs and questions.
Tenant's ability to pay rent online Management's ability to communicate with tenants via text messaging Management's ability to provide Owners with Online Portal for property reports, etc. Management's ability to eCheck Owner's cash withdraws
Automatic charging of Late Rent Fee is a little frustrating
Thanks for taking the time to leave a review, Michael! We're glad you are streamlining tenant communications and payment. If you are having trouble with late fees, you can change the late fee setting on the tenant's page so it does not charge them unless you do this manually!
