Discover property differently.
Seventeen features, three account tiers, one working app — and this page is the app. Everything in the phone is live. Tap through it, switch account type, and watch pages appear and disappear exactly as they will in production.
Nothing here is a screenshot. Tap the tab bar, open a listing, send an enquiry, save to a shared board. Change the account type on the left and pages are added or taken away in real time — that gating is the product's core mechanic, not a detail.
Documenting the search — the good viewings and the bad ones. Happy to compare notes with anyone hunting the same areas. Honest walkthroughs, real prices, no filters on the floor plans. If it has a problem I'll film the problem. Dubai brokerage since 2016. Six licensed agents, one standard: the price you see is the price.
The same app, three different sizes. Verification isn't a badge, it's a set of pages that appear. That's what makes it worth doing, and it's why a price on Robn always traces back to a checked licence.

Every one is reasonable. None of them strengthens post → discover → enquire enough to earn its cost at launch. Naming them beats letting them creep in.
Trimming, transitions, text overlays and speed ramps are a product in themselves. Agents already edit in CapCut and arrive with a finished vertical video. A worse editor wins nothing and delays launch.
The highest-risk item on the list. A licensed catalogue means territory-by-territory negotiation and per-play reporting; an unlicensed one means takedowns. V1 simply carries the audio that came with the upload.
Photos are what portals do well, and what makes them feel like catalogues. Holding V1 to video only forces the format that differentiates Robn — and keeps the same stock renders off the feed.
The story row is already on the Inbox tab — agents need somewhere for perishable posts like "open house today". What's deferred is the system around it: creation tools, stickers, replies, 24-hour analytics.
V1 has flat comments. Replies-to-replies add moderation surface a young community doesn't need. The better version here is a video reply — an agent answering a question as its own reel — which is worth more than threading.
Real demand, especially from overseas buyers — but it needs scheduling, recording consent, call quality and abuse handling. Live viewings are the phase-2 bet and this is the infrastructure for them.
Most property research starts on desktop, so this is inevitable — but not first. Mobile is where the video behaviour already lives. Shareable read-only listing pages ship in V1; the full app follows.
Strip the spec back and V1 is making three arguments. Everything else is one of them wearing a feature number.
Vertical feed, action rail, five tabs. Nobody has to be taught anything — so the entire novelty budget gets spent on trust instead of interface.
Licence-checking one industry is unglamorous compliance work with no payoff for a general platform. That's exactly why it's defensible — and why it gates prices, listings and seven professional pages.
Shared boards are the only feature that gets more valuable with every person invited. They turn a private shortlist into the reason a second and third account exist.
