Poor mgmt decision

I have used the app many years ago and decided to check it out again. However management decision to charge money to use the app or website is just awful and not planning to support it when offering my place for free to people.

You have to pay to even start the app

Don’t know if the app is good because right away you have to pay to continue. It’s just $1.99 a month but just not that into it to want to pay anything

I wont pay up front

What I will say is that I used this app maybe 8 years ago and had a couple interesting experiences. After that, I did not have much of a need or desire to use the app. Recently thought I would check it out since hotels in Anaheim want $300 a night (what?). But as people note, they want money to access the app. I would gladly pay $15 for the year if I had a guaranteed place to stay, but am not interested in paying for a hope that I might find something. Sorry!

Glitchy

Incredibly glitchy app. Freezes constantly, bad UI, bad UX overall, has problems with text sitting in top of other text. Very poorly designed- they need new developers.

Safe app for travelers

I have been on CS for 6 years already and have found it to be the best travel app I have. Support is quick to respond when emailed, they truly care about the community. There are lots of safety measures taken to ensure everyone is safe abroad and while meeting new people. I’ve had very positive experiences with my 25 people I’ve met, been hosted by and hosted myself. I think here’s where you need to use your own judgment of someone if they have zero references, be smart about it— make sure they understand CS well. I personally have met amazing people on this app and even friends that I’ve had for a couple of years now. Lifelong type of friendship. I highly encourage this app, paying to be verified is worth it by the way and also the yearly fee too. It’s a beautiful community.

Love it

I’ve had a lot of great experiences meeting people through the hangouts feature, and I’ve stayed at a couple places for free with some really nice hosts. Def worth however much the app costs these days (used to be free)

Waste

I was made to pay the 1.99 for a “monthly contribution” and there is NOBODY in my area hosting (that’s active). I tried this so I could find a place for a few days while I wait for approval for an apartment but all I did was waste my money and I can’t get it back. So much for google recommending this for a free place to stay for a little bit. What a waste

Nothing is working

I’ve tried to pay, you took my money, but then I got the error message, to use a different account. I can’t get details about my account, because the app won’t let me in. Yes, I contacted you via your support email, even got a ticket number, but your support is the worst, it’s been about 2 weeks, and I’m still waiting for a response. I am getting email requests from couchsurfers to stay with me, but I can’t reply, because the app won’t let me in. What is going on? I feel scammed.
