## Reviews

### "Property management gold" — 5.0/5

> **Mallory** | *21 May 2026* | Food & Beverages | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: I worked for property management for a short period of time and had no experience, this was such an easy to use system I picked it up quickly. It is great because everything you need can be integrated, rent payments, work orders, user profiles and more.
> 
> **Cons**: I cannot think of any cons. I am hoping it got better with age instead of diminishing but it truly is a great system that anyone can learn.
> 
> My experience was great. There was no struggle with learning that system and I had such an easy time getting it to work

### "Appfolio for SFR" — 5.0/5

> **Jordan** | *11 April 2025* | Real Estate | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Appfolio makes management of our SFR portfolio simple and efficient. It gives us all the tools to provide a successful rental experience from lead to move out. It even tracks after move out things like turns and then marketing a home.
> 
> **Cons**: Appfolio doesn't have many cons but for improvement purposes I would say, more automation would be great. In this day and age things like delinquency and lead management should be automated, and many other services are doing that. Their new product LISA does handle lead management but we haven't had a chance to test it out yet.
> 
> Overall Appfolio really does make it simple, the platform is user friendly, and the support is great. If I don't know how to do something very specific, their system provides support to teach me, and if it doesn't, they have reps who can help.

### "Reach out and touch someone - but not with AppFolio" — 3.0/5

> **Mike** | *01 October 2025* | Real Estate | Recommendation rating: 6.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: It is easy to access from anywhere.  It does a good job of storing our HOA's historical records as we conduct business throughout the busy year.
> 
> **Cons**: Before App Folio we actually had a relationship with our property managers over the years.  They actually knew the business side of our HOA.  Since AppFolio was implemented a by the management firm a few years ago, the staff has completely lost all touch with our HOA (our condo building).  They use App Folio for everything and seem to be a bit afraid to pick up the phone or actually visit the property.
> 
> It has really crushed the personal interaction that our HOA used to have with the management firm whom we pay to over see the HOA.  We used to be able to write an e-mail, or make a phone call whenever we had a concern.  Now we are forced to use the AppFolio platform and believe it or not, 100% of our business does not fit into their AppFolio system.  The system has some gaps that simple human interaction does not have.

### "AppFolio is Good Property Management Software" — 4.0/5

> **Marilyn** | *17 March 2025* | Real Estate | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: AppFolio is a user friendly program.  I used this program that I had multiple properties/communities and it was easy to switch between the different properties.   One of the best features was the ability to complete move out inspection and attach photos through the mobil app\!
> 
> **Cons**: At the time I was using the program, there was no way to do property while messaging.
> 
> AppFolio is a good Property Management Software for apartment management.  It was highly user friendly and making corrections within the software was easy.

### "Apfolio Property Management for you" — 5.0/5

> **Myles** | *19 May 2026* | Human Resources | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: What I like most about apfolio property manager would be how easy it is to view and make payments and check documents
> 
> **Cons**: What I like to leave about apfolio property management would be nothing no complaints I have no time I enjoy this app
> 
> My overall experience with apfolio property manager would be a great one this app has made it easy for me and the other tenants to access our rent payments submit maintenance request and all apartment needs
