Someone you actually\npicked, in your school or your city.\n\nHOW IT WORKS\n\n1. Pick your community. Your school, or the city you're moving to.\n2. Build a profile that's actually you. Photos, prompt answers, your\n   dealbreakers, and where you're headed and when.\n3. Like the people you could live with. If they like you back, it's a match and\n   you can chat.\n\nYou can only message someone once you've both liked each other. So the people\nyou talk to are people who chose you too.\n\nWHAT YOU SEE BEFORE YOU DECIDE\n\nHow close their habits are to yours on the stuff that actually causes problems.\nCleanliness, noise, social energy, how much you want to hang out.\n\nShout outs from people who have actually lived with them.\n\nMutual friends and linked socials, when people add them.\n\nMOVING TO CAMPUS\n\nYour class already has a community on Bunky. Find your roommate before housing\nassignments go out.\n\nALREADY HAVE A PLACE?\n\nAdd it to your profile with rent, move-in date and photos of the place, then\nmatch with people looking to move in.\n\nTHINKING ABOUT A MOVE?\n\nNothing has to be signed yet. Pick the city you're considering and see who's\nalready there. What they're like, what they're looking for, who's arriving\naround the same time as you.\n\nFree to download. 210k+ downloads.","facts":{"developer_id":1555166699,"developer_url":"https://bunkyapp.co","first_released":"2023-10-31T07:00:00Z","support_url":"https://bunkyapp.co/contactus","privacy_url":"https://bunkyapp.co/privacy","website_url":"https://bunkyapp.co/","app_version":"2.7.6","release_notes":"crazy stuff, i mean crazzyyy","rating_current_version":4.39121,"rating_count_current_version":547,"star_counts":[50,10,16,69,396],"genres":["Social Networking","Lifestyle"],"languages":["EN"],"content_advisories":["Infrequent/Mild Alcohol, Tobacco, or Drug Use or References","Infrequent/Mild Profanity or Crude Humor"],"device_families":["iphone","ipod"],"made_for_iphone_duo":false,"chart":null},"freshness":{"apple_read_at":"2026-11-13T06:51:13.142Z","catalog_read_at":"2026-11-09T09:10:12.970Z","reviews_checked_at":null,"summary_written_at":"2026-11-10T00:06:12.763Z","placed_at":"2026-11-09T07:12:13.273Z","scored_at":"2026-11-13T22:35:13.137Z"},"editorial":{"one_liner":"Roommate matching app where people pick and chat with potential roommates before moving in, by school or city.","what_is":"Bunky is a social networking app for finding a roommate before you move in.
