NEW YORK, Nov. 4, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Roomster, the world's largest social network for connecting compatible roommates with available rooms, launched its new user-friendly website on desktop and mobile devices today. With enhanced search and geolocation functionality, the fully-responsive design is intended to create an improved user experience, making it easier than ever to find the best possible roommate to fit your ideal living situation. Additionally, the upgrade comes with a new documented refund policy, as well as terms and conditions, which guarantees Roomster members full transparency and clarity in the event of service cancellation.
"Today's announcement demonstrates our continued pledge to enhance the transparency and user experience of finding a roommate online," said Roomster CEO John Shriber. "Our top priority continues to be our members' experience throughout the roommate finding journey, from registration on Roomster to move in. We feel the launch of this new enhanced platform and no-questions-asked documented refund policy is an important progression towards that goal."
To support the accelerated functionality of the website, we implemented the latest JavaScript Library by Facebook, ReactJS, during development. The newly built platform allows users to sign up and log in faster than ever before, regardless of whether on a desktop or mobile device.
"We always go into every upgrade looking to push our technology to the limit," said Roomster CTO Roman Zaks. "By using ReactJS, we are able to function faster, while maintaining a smooth and scalable user interface. Plus, our geolocation and map functionality has never been better."
The new site features search functionality that pinpoints exact housing locations on a native map, new geolocation tools to find the best possible rooms in ideal locations, and search filters to customize the roommate searching experience for Roomster's members.
Additionally, the new documented refund policy was created to provide Roomster's members with greater transparency, clarity and flexibility. For the first time, if a member cancels at any time, Roomster will offer a prorated refund, no questions asked.
Since its launch, Roomster has provided roommate matching service to over 10 million members. Founded to offer a platform to find cost saving housing alternatives, the company continues to expand its footprint recently launching in India and Australia. Roomster's app has also continued to achieve strong success as the top mobile application for roommate matching on iOS and Android.
