Apartment rentals on the go just got better

Continuing with our innovation in the Canadian rental market, RentCompass is releasing an iPad specific application to give an enhanced experience over the existing mobile application. With the iPad release, users can now search for apartment and houses for rent on the go without requiring a desktop.

The iPad vibrant screen will allow people looking for rentals to see large photos of the properties listed on RentCompass. Having a larger screen will also allow apartment hunters to browse on the RentCompass rental maps easier than on smaller mobile devices. The RentCompass for the iPad application also uses many new features available only on the iPad.

Stay tuned for the upcoming release of the iPad custom version of the application. In the meanwhile, you can use the iPhone version of the application, it is still functional on the iPad.

RentCompass gets featured on CBC Television

Being Canada's most innovative service provider in the rental industry, RentCompass was featured on CBC Television "News at Six" on May 28th 2010.
The show had a special coverage on the iPad release in Canada which was being released that day. And there was a special feature on Canadian entrepreneurs focusing on developing iPad applications. RentCompass was chosen as one of two entrepreneurs to be featured on the show.

We are proud and happy that we have been featured on television, and we extend special thanks to CBC for the coverage.

RentCompass is certainly committed to moving forward with enhanced products and services to bring the real estate rental industry in Canada with more innovative technologies and solutions.
