Nope. DigsConnect runs on the website — search, enquire and chat all happen in your browser. Our notifications come straight to your WhatsApp, so no app to install.

Yes — once they've replied to your enquiry, we'll WhatsApp you a link to their reply where you can view their contact info. From there you can chat to them, arrange a viewing, and sort out the lease.
Two easy ways: WhatsApp DigsConnect back (just reply "I'm in" on the chat we already have going), or open your inbox and tap "I signed" on the enquiry. That triggers your Varsity Vibe Premium unlock.
Yes — for confirmed DigsConnect students it's R0. We cover the cost. You'll get an activation link by WhatsApp the moment your booking is confirmed, and you'll be able to use it across hundreds of SA brands. Find out more at varsityvibe.co.za.
Searching, enquiring and chatting on DigsConnect is 100% free for students. You only pay rent and deposit directly to your landlord once you've signed a lease — never to DigsConnect.
Send your first enquiry now. We'll WhatsApp you the moment the landlord replies — and unlock Varsity Vibe Premium the day you sign.
