Mortgage by Zillow Reviews

by SusanM In PA

I’ve used Mortgage for a few years now, both on my iPhone and iPad. Recently all the numeric input values are not visible - loan amount, down payment, interest rate, etc., so the current version makes it totally useless to use! I’ve seen others make the same comment. Even before this change, the input screen limited seeing what you were changing. Also, does not save the interest rate I would enter from session to session, which has been very frustrating. The changes made to Mortgage over the past year made once was a great app, first only good, and now totally useless.

The feature set is good for an iPad app, but in order to make it a great app I want to have split-screen multitasking.

Without multi-tasking I have to switch between apps when I want to take notes in another app(which is something I do quite often). I don't want to keep switching contexts, so most of the time I just switch to the browser instead.

Keep up the good work and please add split-screen multitasking!

Mortgage used to be amazing! We used it frequently when shopping for a home. However, it now limits your field of view more every time you select an area or a number you need to edit. The numbers don’t show up at the top like they used to, and overall it is quite glitchy now. I have an iphone7 and my husband has a 7+. We both have experienced the same issues for about a year now. It is quite sad. Otherwise I would have given Mortgage 5 stars.

Overall a good straight forward tool. I would have loved for them to offer a few improvements though. 1) save your results for different properties so you can easily access and customize (you can only export to an email). 2) input your own PMI 3) improve the scale for property taxes which currently stops at 10k.

I love the ease of the Zillow this app App and have never had any issues for years, until now! I can’t figure out how to report it or fix it myself.... this is the only place I can think to report the bug. Please fix it!

The numbers I key in are missing on the right hand side, you can’t see the purchase price, the downpayment percentage, or the interest rate %. I’ve updated my phone and Mortgage and even shut down my phone, deleted Mortgage and re-downloaded it. Nothing has worked.

Mortgage has been great until recently but then all the numbers I key in for the this app calculator are now gone and I have no idea what the amount, percentage rate, or anything I'm entering in.

Also the more I type in on the calculator everything drops lower and lower on my screen as I type...makes no sense and very frustrating.

I still really like Mortgage but that needs to be fixed soon or I’ll find another this app app to use.

Mortgage ’s a little confusing to sort through at first. You can’t swipe to go back like you can on a lot of other apps. However, Mortgage runs smoothly and is a pretty good way to calculate how much home you can afford.

Fun fact: A recent study of over 10,000 millionaires found that the average self-made millionaire paid off their home in about a decade, and never refinanced thereafter. So maybe the 15-year option with no prepayment penalty is a smart move.

Love using Mortgage. I am constantly calculating for clients and it's quick & easy but still allows me to expand detail if I want to get very specific. My one suggestion would be to add the percentage to the "down payment" line. As you slide the $ amount up and down it should show you the percentage of the down payment and the dollar amount. This will greatly help when calculating for a specific loan type/required down payment.

I have been using Mortgage now for about 1 month. The only short coming is using the "slider", it's difficult to land on your exact number using it, then again maybe the slide wasn't meant to be used for all numbers. For example if I want $147,000, I can really only get as close to $145,000 using the slider, then I need to enter it manually. Not sure if there is a fix for that.

Zillow can find you House for sale/rent, lot for sale or rent an apartment. Set your parameters and you have results. On the top it is connected with local county property site. From property tax tab it will tell you complete value history and can also take you to county tax website directly for that particular property. Where you can see real detailed property description and tax payments history. Zillow calculator app can give you idea of monthly payment without going to banker. If you request for finance the house, someone may call within reasonable time. Zillow made the house buying so easy.

I love Zillow app the best because it provides everything you need when looking for a home. I especially like the ‘street view’ because I am able to see how it would like driving up to a potential home and that in itself is a decision maker or breaker.

by Stupidmeagain

I would like to ask a question as to why the Zestimate number, house value ranges, etc., shows changing numbers online before an appraisal is submitted? Why do these numbers fluctuate? Why do the numbers not remain the same until the house has been appraised and ready to close.

Even if the appraiser doesn’t view this site. I believe anyone viewing the Zillow info chart online may believe that those numberm are accurate & reached by qualified licensed person?

So I open Mortgage to calculate my potential this app payment but the price, down payment, and interest rate numbers are not showing up. The slider bar works but you do not see what numbers are being calculated. This but should be fixed ASAP!

I'm a real estate investor that just wants a quick answer to basic finance questions. This program provides exactly the info I'm looking for in an easy to use and understand format. Changes to check out different scenarios are easy to make. Exactly what I need in my business.

by JasonStauffer

It’s near impossible to use the payment calculator because many of the fields are missing the amounts that have been selected. For example: Home price, interest rate %, property tax amount, home owners insurance amount.

While the total monthly amount is displayed at the top Poe chart these individual amounts need to be added with their selection section. Thanks!

I want thank Zillow for this this app app. I just purchased a home and found US Bank. The experience was outstanding. My US Bank this app loan executive Denny Bennett was outstanding. He was able to execute the this app and close within 30 days. He was extremely communicative throughout the process! Thank you Zillow and US Bank.

by JJL040

I think this is a great app. I feel like the accuracy was very close for an estimate. It's the easiest calculator I've used. I highly recommend! I love the affordability calculator because most banks won't give you that information. It is especially great if you are trying to determine how much you can spend on upgrades in a new home, or building a new home, so you can stay in a comfortable budget.

by Jagriner

I really enjoy Mortgage . I find that it has some bugs, which are aggravating. It is difficult to change an entry when you make a mistake on the home affordability calculator. The screen is covered sometimes by what is supposed to be the final number that you can afford. What this does is block the top of the screen to where you can’t see what you are inputting. Very frustrating. I tend to give up. The idea behind it is great. Just would like for it to function as Intended.

this is a great app! I have used it in recent home purchases and actually had good leads on good this app lenders. It would be nice to have this as a "widget" on my phone such that it would come up with other widgets at the home screen, like the Stocks app and news, etc. It would be nice to see a graph of what the this app rates are doing on a day-to-day or weekly/monthly basis. wouldn't that be great? I don't see how to enable that right now. it shows Zillow real estate on the list of apps but not Zillow this app.
"Zillow is your friend," I always say.

by Travnseattle

I don’t know what happened in this last update. However, now you cannot see any numbers except for what is in the circle. Even in the circle it doesn’t show interest rate, purchase price or any variables. I loved Mortgage. It gave me great experience and understanding of the buying market. Now, it’s just a bad app. The iPad & iPhone doesn’t work anymore. No update for iOS 11.

by Zkhatib

I did use Zillow in three type. Two for purchase and one for refinance and both time got the lowest rates. Always get pre approve here but recheck my rate 30 days before closing to confirm I had the best rate. I will always recommend this option for anyone

by Devadelite

Does not show price or numerical values when set in number or percentage modes.
As a Real Estate Broker, I used Mortgage almost everyday. One day it completely changed. Now it no longer shows either percentage or numerical values when inputting numbers.

Too bad as I was very fast at using it.
