Ratings and reviews

did not expect the app to be that great! actually managed to find several people to meet up with during my travel :) of course it's important to stay aware just like with any other apps of this kind but I'm really glad I used it! as for the things to improve, the system of finding people who go to the same destination as you is not that obvious and took some time to be figured out

Not compatible with Android/ Samsung the register button is behind the home button so can't click on register the app just closes

I don't like followers count function. Reminds of ig and if person doesn't have one, it's weird that you need to follow someone and the need to get followers count etc. Messages are enough from my opinion for people to connect with each other. Initial idea of app is awesome. Some usual but not trendy destinations don't have users, probably cuz app is new . Overall nice but it needs some improvement. Tried it but deleted, sorry.
