How to use Nookaly

A complete walkthrough of every feature in the browser extension and the mobile app — with clear labels for what's free and what needs Pro or Pro+.

Overview

Nookaly scores and analyses London property listings against your personal preferences. There are two ways to use it — they share one account and the same preferences:

  • Mobile app (iOS & Android) — your home base. Share any listing from the Rightmove or Zoopla app and Nookaly scores it against your preferences, then review your shortlist, the map, commute and analysis anywhere.
  • Browser extension — a side panel that appears on Rightmove and Zoopla as you browse on a computer, scoring every listing in place. Ideal for longer research sessions at your desk.

Sign in with the same email on both and your preferences, favourites and subscription follow you across every device.

Getting started — mobile app

  1. Install the Nookaly app from the App Store or Google Play and sign in — we email you a secure magic link, so there’s no password to remember.
  2. Complete the short guided setup to set your budget, household, must-haves, scoring weights and commute destinations.
  3. In the Rightmove or Zoopla app (or your mobile browser), open a listing and tap Share → Nookaly. The property is saved to your favourites and scored against your preferences.
  4. Open Nookaly any time to review your shortlist, the map, comparison and per-property analysis. The app has four tabs: Home (your shortlist & map), Search, Discover and Settings.

Getting started — browser extension

  1. Install Nookaly from the Chrome Web Store and pin it to your toolbar.
  2. Sign in with the same email you use on the app — or set up a new account here; either way your preferences and favourites sync across both.
  3. Open a property on Rightmove or Zoopla and click the Nookaly icon to open the side panel.
  4. Browse as normal — the panel updates automatically for each listing you open, and scores every result on a search page.

Set up your preferences once and they follow you everywhere. If you start on the app, the extension already knows them — and vice versa.

Scoring & analysis

Match score & breakdown

FreeAppExtension

Every property gets a 0–100 score against your preferences. Tap the score to see the breakdown across factors like budget value, space, commute, safety, energy (EPC), natural light, broadband, relative value, air quality and quietness — each with the weight you gave it. Properties that fail a hard requirement (budget, bedrooms, commute cap, deal breakers) are flagged as excluded with the reason.

Property gauges

FreeAppExtension

Quick 0–10 gauges summarise Condition, Transport, Amenities and Quietness. Tap the ? on any gauge for the detail behind the number.

Personalised “For You” analysis

TrialProPro+CreditsAppExtension

An in-depth AI write-up of how a specific property fits you — weighing your budget, household, commute, must-haves and deal breakers. Pro, Pro+ and the trial get unlimited analyses; on Free you can unlock individual properties with credits.

Garden & orientation analysis

TrialProPro+AppExtension

Assesses garden aspect and sunlight potential as part of the personalised analysis.

Smart search

FreeProPro+AppExtension

Describe what you want in plain English — e.g. “3-bed terraced near good schools with a garden” — and Nookaly returns matching properties scored to your preferences. Free includes 5 searches a day; Pro gets 20 a day and Pro+ 50.

Platform search ranking

FreeExtension

On a Rightmove or Zoopla search-results page, Nookaly scores every visible listing and re-ranks them by how well they fit you.

Daily Discover

ProPro+AppExtension

A daily “For You” set of recommendations, ranked to match your preferences and the homes you save and view (when Smart Recommendations is on). Mark anything “Not interested” to see fewer like it. Pro gets 10 picks a day; Pro+ gets 20. In the app, Discover is its own tab with “For You” and “Best Commute” modes.

Favourites & comparison

Favourites

FreeAppExtension

Save any property with the star. Your shortlist is ranked by score and you can rename entries. Export a shareable code to back up or hand off your list, and import a code to load someone else’s.

Portfolio comparison

TrialProPro+AppExtension

Compare your shortlisted homes side by side. Nookaly produces a ranking, the key trade-offs, and “if this matters most” scenario picks to help you decide. The trial includes one comparison; Pro and Pro+ are unlimited.

Auto-refreshing comparison

Pro+AppExtension

On Pro+, the comparison refreshes automatically as your shortlist changes, so it’s always up to date.

Commute

Commute analysis

FreeAppExtension

Add up to 8 destinations (work, school, gym, family…) with a postcode, transport mode, target time and how often you travel. For each property you see the journey time, step-by-step route, the Commute Quality Index (a stress score from duration, crowding, transfers and reliability), single fare and estimated annual cost — and whether each trip is within your target.

Area, maps & places

Area insights

FreeAppExtension

Demographics, crime statistics, broadband speeds, flood and noise levels, air quality, deprivation indices and nearby planning applications for each property’s area. In the app these live on the property’s Area tab.

Interactive map & nearby places

FreeAppExtension

See the property and your shortlist on a map, with nearby transport, schools, supermarkets, parks, healthcare and more. In the app you can switch the favourites view to Map and add your own Points of Interest (a gym, a relative’s home) as pins.

Watch areas, alerts & digests

Watch areas

ProPro+AppExtension

Save areas you’re tracking so new matching listings surface automatically, filtered to a score cutoff you choose. Pro includes 2 outcodes; Pro+ includes 5 outcodes plus a whole London borough. Manage them in the app under Settings → Watch Areas.

Email digest

FreeProPro+Extension

A regular round-up of your matches, delivered by email wherever you signed up. Free is a weekly digest of your top property; Pro lets you choose weekly, fortnightly or monthly (up to 5 properties); Pro+ adds daily and twice-daily options (up to 10 properties). Digest frequency is currently set from the browser extension.

Gem alerts & background analysis

FreeProPro+AppExtension

Nookaly flags “gem” properties — the standouts worth jumping on — on every plan. The app delivers these as push notifications, and they’re highlighted in your digest, so you don’t miss one. On Pro+, new matches are also analysed automatically in the background.

Your preferences

Budget, household, weights & must-haves

FreeAppExtension

Set your budget, minimum bedrooms/bathrooms, household, property type, condition, garden and parking, plus weight sliders for the 10 scoring factors and your desired features and deal breakers. In the app these live under Settings → Housing Preferences. Re-run the guided setup any time to refresh everything at once.

Free-text “other requirements”

TrialProPro+AppExtension

Describe anything else that matters in your own words (“space for a piano”, “south-facing garden”) and it’s factored into your personalised analysis.

Account, billing & data

One account, every device. Sign in with the same email on the app and the extension and your preferences, favourites, watch areas and subscription all stay in sync. The app uses a passwordless magic link; the extension and web use the same email sign-in.

Manage your plan. Open Settings on either platform to see your current plan and upgrade, downgrade or cancel. Where you pay depends on where you subscribed:

  • iOS app — billed through your Apple account (manage in App Store → Subscriptions).
  • Android app — billed through Google Play (manage in Play Store → Subscriptions).
  • Browser extension & web — billed securely by Stripe (manage from the billing portal in Settings).

Your plan is the same across all of them — you just manage payment wherever you bought it. Pay-per-use analysis credits work the same way.

Your data. Under Settings → Privacy & Data in the app (or the privacy section of the extension) you can export everything Nookaly holds about you, or delete your account — deletion is scheduled with a 30-day grace period in case you change your mind. We comply fully with GDPR.

Need help?

Browse the FAQ for common questions, email support@nookaly.co.uk, or open a support ticket from inside the app (Settings → Help and Support) or the extension. We usually reply within 24 hours.
