Zillow released an Android update on Tuesday, adding Spanish-language support to the home-rental app.
The app allows users to search for homes based on location, by using their phone’s GPS, typing in a specific address, or drawing a search boundary on a map (e.g. around your office or favorite neighborhood). Renters can also use Android’s voice-capabilities to search for locations.
"With rental markets becoming increasingly competitive, it’s particularly important for all renters to have instant access to tools that can help them track the newest listings, and contact landlords anytime, anywhere,” said David Vivero, Zillow's vice-president of rentals.
Tuesday’s release also adds the ability to search for homes based on their pet policy, as well as the availability of parking and laundry facilities.
What's more, users can browse areas where they might be interested in living, and view a Rent "Zestimate" of what the potential rent might be for a home or apartment in that area.
Then, when it comes time to make a choice, the app lets you compare options side-by-side.
Zillow’s updated Android app is available now from Google Play. It is also available for iOS devices.
