Are you associated with Rightmove at all? I couldn't find an API on their site.

If not, how are you planning on monetizing this? You've got what appears to be quite a large team for a product that mentions nothing on pricing or "how it works".

Design wise, its very clean. I love the colors and the logo. However, the very first screen is part of a trend that really irks me. Why use the entirety of my machine's viewport to show me a screenshot, a couple words, and a CTA to request an invite when I know nothing about the product other than "list properties"? It looks good, don't get me wrong, but I feel there is a missed opportunity to sell.



Rightmove have a new API in private beta (they call it the Real-Time Data Feed).

I called them to complain about the lack of an API, and they said there was a project in the works... so we got ourselves access to test out in their sandbox.

The app will be paid for by agents on monthly subscriptions. We're testing out pricing now (we're close to settling at £45 per branch, per month).

A 'How it works' section is coming; video should be up by the end of the week, with better screen shots the following week. Thanks for helping to name the section. :)

I get what you're saying about the opening page. Would you like a paragraph, more screenshots in the 'phone', a illustration, or something else?

Thanks so much for commenting.

The section right under this is great, sums up the basics. The only part I'm getting at is that you have to scroll to see it.


Do you think some sort of navigation hints or bar should be present?
