Basha Bazar

Basha Bazar is a house-hunting app for people looking for a to-let on foot.

In Bangladesh, most low- and mid-range rentals never appear online. They are advertised on paper "To Let" signs taped to gates and walls. Finding one means walking the streets and looking up. Basha Bazar is built for exactly that.

HOW IT WORKS

1. Tap Start Walk. The app records the route you walk as a line on the map, so you can see at a glance which streets you have already covered.
2. Spot a To Let sign. Pin it, add photos, rent, contact number, rooms, washrooms and any details worth remembering.
3. Tap Stop Walk when you are done. Your route is saved so you never search the same road twice.

SCAN A PHONE NUMBER FROM THE SIGN

Photograph the To Let sign and the app reads the phone number from it, so you do not have to squint at a wall and type digits by hand.

SEE WHAT OTHERS FOUND

A building is a shared place that many people can describe. Choose to share a to-let publicly and other house-hunters nearby will see it, with your notes alongside theirs. Keep it private instead and only you can see it.

WHY WALK TRACKING MATTERS

House-hunting on foot takes hours. Streets blur together and you end up walking the same road twice. A recorded route turns a vague afternoon of wandering into a map of ground you have actually covered.

WORKS OFFLINE

Pin a to-let with no signal and it uploads when you are back online. Nothing is lost in a basement or a bad coverage pocket.

ABOUT PERMISSIONS

Location is recorded only between Start Walk and Stop Walk, never at other times, and a notification is shown the whole time it is recording. Your routes are private to you and are never shared with other users. You can use the app without granting background location; you simply will not get route recording.

Sign in with Google is required so your to-lets are saved to your account and available across devices.

Flat alerts are here.

Looking for a place? Pick an area on the map, set what you can pay, and we will tell you when someone pins a to-let there. No more checking the map every day.

Find them under Profile, Flat alerts. Pause or delete an alert any time.

One reminder. Every pin is a to-let someone has actually seen, so if you are searching for a home, save an alert instead of adding a pin.
