We’ve hosted dozens of travelers, but have never been guests. Not feeling like I should have to pay to host, but I can no longer see the full profile of potential guests, so I am disinclined to continue.
Constantly crashing app makes it impossible to use. Just use the website version on your phone because the app is not useable.
I’ve been a Warm Showers user for a few years now, and it’s been great. Having the app while touring is super convenient and helpful.
I just paid 30 dollars for a non working app. After completing the profile and filling out many fields, downloading a picture and editing my personal story - nothing was saved!! Should I start again? For what? That the information disappears again? Can only recommend everyone to stay away.
I’m about to embark on a cyclo-tour across Ohio and figured Warm Showers would be a great asset to my trip. Literally less than a week after paying the $30 user fee my account is just gone. Was able to request request a stay with two people (both respectfully were unavailable per the emails I received) so I went to get back on the app to keep looking. Upon putting in my Username it said it didn’t exist so I used my email(the one I just received WarmShower replies on) and it said that email didn’t exist as well. To me it seems like a cash grab since I paid my $30 startup fee literally 4 days ago and now my account no longer exists.
Absolute waste of money. Does not work >50% of the time when I “need” it to. Either just times out when logging in (which it makes me do every time I open it) or looses connection when I am using it. Just use the web browser version.
I should not have paid for this. It doesn’t let me login. It tells me I have no internet when I do so I cannot see profiles. Nothing works properly. Do not use it. Use the browser. Don’t pay for this.
For an app for bicyclists who will only have access to their phone and probably not their computer, it’s pretty unreliable. It will often say I’m offline when I’m not, and won’t display all of the message threads I’ve had with people (both of those are pretty vital). Otherwise, works fairly well. The map seems to show available hosts and I can view peoples profiles thoroughly.
Signed up and paid the $30 fee. The decision to charge for the app is fine by me, but why not comp people who paid already a year? Simple enough to do surely?
I spent $30 at the beginning, now without any notice, they forced me to spend extra monthly fee, and they require donations all the time. Shameless on you, just like a money hole!
