Best Apps for Realtors Android
A real estate agent's office is wherever their phone is: between showings, at open houses, in a client's driveway. The right apps let you follow up with leads in minutes, capture every open house visitor, sign contracts from the car, and pull property data mid-conversation instead of saying "I'll check when I'm back at my desk."
The trick is that realtor app roundups rarely check the Android apps themselves. I did: every app below was opened on its official Google Play listing. That surfaced things the glossy roundups skip — the #1-ranked CRM app is 3.3 stars on Android, and the highest-rated open house app has barely 110 reviews. Here are five apps worth your home screen, with honest free-vs-paid labels.
What to look for in a realtor app
- Real mobile quality, not a desktop afterthought: check the Android rating separately — desktop reputation does not transfer.
- CRM integration: your open house sign-in and lead tools should feed your CRM automatically, not require manual entry.
- Speed-to-lead: instant notifications and one-tap call/text matter more than feature lists. The agent who responds first usually wins.
- Honest pricing: "free app" often means "free download, paid subscription required." Know the real cost before onboarding your team.

1. Follow Up Boss — the CRM standard (with an Android warning)
Follow Up Boss is the real estate CRM that agent publications rank #1, and for desktop users the praise makes sense: automatic lead distribution from 200+ sources, in-app texting and calling, email templates, smart lists, and task management. Its official Play listing confirms 50,000+ downloads and a September 2026 update.
Here is what the rankings never say: the Android app is 3.3 stars from 427 reviews. Recent reviews complain about lag, voicemail routing, tag scrolling, and missing features versus the desktop client. And the listing is blunt: "You need a paid Follow Up Boss subscription to use the mobile app" — from about $58/user/month. It is a powerful system for teams with multiple lead sources, but trial the Android app on your own phone before making it your team's field tool.
Best for: teams managing leads from many sources. Price: paid subscription required; app itself is a free download. Follow Up Boss on Google Play
2. Zillow Premier Agent — for Zillow and Trulia leads
If your leads come from Zillow or Trulia, the Premier Agent app is essentially mandatory — it is free, rated 4.1 stars from 7,600+ reviews, and built around speed. Its official listing describes instant lead alerts with property and contact details, lead connection from 35+ sources into one inbox, buyer search-history insights, call recording delivered to your inbox, team lead routing by price and location, and task management.
The honest framing: the app is free, but the leads are not — you pay for advertising or placement on Zillow/Trulia, and pricing varies by market. For buyer agents, though, instant response to a Zillow inquiry is the difference between a conversation and a lost prospect. This is the tool that makes that response possible from anywhere.
Best for: agents advertising on Zillow/Trulia. Price: free app (lead program costs separate). Premier Agent on Google Play
3. Curb Hero — the free open house sign-in
Paper sign-in sheets are unreadable, and paid competitors charge $20+/month for digital ones. Curb Hero is the rare genuinely free option — touchless QR code sign-in, customizable questions, lead phone/email verification, an AI open house summary, and integrations with 4,000+ CRMs and tools via Zapier. It also bundles single property sites and photo editing for branded marketing.
Two honest notes: the 4.8-star rating sits on only about 110 Android reviews, so treat the rating as promising rather than proven at scale. And the "paired lender" model means a local mortgage broker can pay to appear on your sign-in sheets — bring your own lender if you prefer. For agents who host frequent open houses, the value proposition is unmatched.
Best for: agents who host open houses regularly. Price: free. Curb Hero on Google Play
4. dotloop — e-signatures and transactions on the go
dotloop is the transaction management platform real estate teams trust, and its Android app earns it: 4.7 stars from 7,400+ reviews. Its official listing covers creating, sharing, e-signing, and storing documents in real time; a text Messenger service that lets clients sign with no download required; camera document scanning; and submitting folders for broker review from the phone.
The pricing model is refreshingly honest: the mobile app is free for a limited number of loops, and dotloop Premium at $29/month opens full features. For solo agents closing a few deals a month, the free tier may genuinely be enough. This is the app that keeps a transaction moving while you are between showings instead of waiting for desk time.
Best for: contract management and e-signatures. Price: free for limited loops; Premium $29/mo. dotloop on Google Play
5. RPR Mobile — the research secret weapon
RPR Mobile is a property research app exclusively for REALTORS — a free member benefit of the National Association of REALTORS. Its official listing shows why agents swear by it: search any on- or off-market property, view tax, mortgage, historical, distressed, flood zone, and school data, draw search areas on a map, and create branded property, seller's, market activity, and neighborhood reports to email clients.
At 4.2 stars from 2,600+ reviews it is well regarded, and for NAR members the price is unbeatable: free. The limitation is exclusivity — if you are not a REALTOR member, it is not available to you. For members, it is the app that lets you answer "what's this house really worth" with data while standing in the driveway.
Best for: property research and client reports. Price: free for NAR members. RPR Mobile on Google Play
Build your stack around your bottleneck
The common advice from every competitor — and it is correct — is to start with your biggest pain point, not the longest feature list. Losing leads to slow follow-up? Fix the CRM first. Drowning in paperwork? dotloop. Open houses full of illegible sign-ins? Curb Hero. A lean stack of two or three apps you actually use beats ten you installed and forgot.
Practical tips
Connect everything to one CRM. Your open house sign-in should feed your CRM automatically. Manual re-entry after an open house is where leads die — Curb Hero's Zapier integrations exist precisely for this.
Test the Android app before team rollout. Follow Up Boss proves that a beloved desktop product can ship a weak Android app. Install it, log a lead, make a call, and check notifications before asking your team to switch.
Keep your listing media backed up. Photos, contracts, and reports live on your phone — our cloud storage apps guide keeps them safe when a device is lost.
Protect your battery on long showing days. A day of showings with GPS, camera, and CRM running drains fast — see our battery saver apps guide.
