Short answers to what people ask most.
What is DecideStay?
DecideStay is an app for keeping track of the rental flats you’re considering. You add the flats you find on portals, through brokers or on a walk, with their costs, photos, contacts and a pin on the map, then compare them and take each one to a decision. It isn’t a listings site: it holds only what you add.
Does it work without an internet connection?
You need a connection to sign in. After that you can add and edit flats without one: your changes are saved on your phone and sync when you’re back online.
A few things need a connection: creating or stopping a shared link, starting or switching chapters, changing landmarks, and searching for a place on the map.
How does it work out what a flat costs?
Each month adds the rent to every other cost you add, such as maintenance, parking or Wi-Fi. A bill that comes every quarter or every year is spread across its months, so ₹3,000 a quarter counts as ₹1,000 a month.
To move in is the deposit plus what you pay on the day: the first month’s rent, any one-time costs, and the first quarterly or yearly bills, which are paid upfront.
Who can see my flats?
Only you, when you’re signed in. If you share a flat, anyone with the link can see its name, area, location, photos, videos and costs for 6 hours. They never see your notes, contacts, labels or status.
How do I share a flat?
Open the flat, tap Share, then Create link, and send the link however you like. Tap Stop sharing to end it before its 6 hours are up. Creating a new link stops the old one.
How do I delete my account?
In the app, go to Settings › Delete account. The steps, what’s deleted, and how to ask without the app are on Delete your account.
