Roomi launched in New York in 2015 as a mobile first alternative to classified boards, with a swipe style feed of rooms and people. Listing a room and browsing are free, chat opens after both sides show interest, and a premium subscription adds boosted listings and unlimited messaging. The app pushes verification hard: email, phone and photo ID, plus in app messaging so nobody has to hand out a personal number in the first hour.
Strongest in New York and a handful of large US metros, where new rooms show up regularly. Outside those, the feed empties quickly and paid boosts buy little. Reviews mention occasional glitches and slow moderation of odd listings, so treat the verification badge as a starting point rather than a guarantee, and keep the conversation inside the app until a viewing is arranged.
