MyNewPlace features more than 6 million apartments for rent in the United States. Mobile users will be able to use rich apartment search filtering, including search by city, number of bedrooms, bathrooms, price, and even pet-friendliness. Additionally, MyNewPlace for Mobile will remember which properties a user has looked at, “MyNewPlace for Mobile takes the best of our award-winning website and lets users take it where they need it out on the road with them as they go apartment hunting,” Moran added.
