Late messages in the app I like the idea of this service. But the problem here is that as a user I cannot see messages in the app right away when I've already gotten an email. I cannot see them even after reloading the page, they appear just a half of the day after... So please make this function more responsible. Thanks

Taking too long to contact me! I'm traveling and never know where exactly in going to stop. People who are hosting never contact me in time. I'm a verified member and I'm a safe person but it seems most people are either afraid or not checking their email. It's very frustrating.

How do I access Groups? Help! I'm not sure if I'm just stupid or there really is no option to access my Groups from the app. Haha. Thanks. Overall, nice app. :)

Useless for male travellers Perhaps there could be a filter available to search for hosts with references from both genders. 99% of hosts are men and most of them only accept women despite stating that they are hosting both genders. Maybe my profile could be better but honestly with all the effort I've put into this app and hundreds of rejected requests it isn't worth it at all.

Easy to use, no hiccups ........ yet I have used this app since Jan2016. So far no major issues. I have not experienced any missing request or delayed messages.

Messages and notifications doesn't appear I keep opening the app again and again to check for notifications and messages and its worst in this regard that it doesn't show any. I have to open the website in the browser to see notifications and messages and then it gets updated in my app. Please do check and fix it fast as to get connected people have to know whether the person sent you any response or not and if you just refer to the app I would say forget about hosting people. It would be just like you never got any response from anyone.

So far great Add the friend request acceptance button/option. Also some other things available from the computer are not available in the app. That is bad

Acharya Shree Shankar September 22, 2016

Not able to message I was able to send messages to profiles that I find on "Hangout" but lately not able to send messages to anyone. I can do it on computer but it is not possible to me anymore on phone app. Please tell me why.

Unguras Anamaria September 15, 2016

The app is a bit of a pain in the ass. I'm not receiving messages, i have to check it on the browser. There i have messages, on the app i don't.

Angkor Smarty September 9, 2016

Travelling friends It's amazing app. You can meet the people around the world or stay with them. Useful for travelling who have no idea about the country. You will have many friends also

Trouble logging in This app does not allow me to log in with my e-mail, it keeps on saying incorrect username or password

reverendo kybow September 12, 2016

I dislike the feature hang outs Can I disable the hang outs feature at this new version of the app? If it is not possible, how can I downgrade to the previous one?

CouchSurfing Inc. September 13, 2016

Hello Reverendo, If you don't set yourself available to hangout, this feature will be off for you.

Владислав Глаголев September 20, 2016

It's OK, but I really suffer without ability to copy the link to a user profile. Please add this.

Jon Brown September 18, 2016

Getting better It been well improved from the last app.. you can use it now. The next update I would like to see is you get to city's groups..

Lele I-Am September 20, 2016

Need improvements I cannot access to groups, when I click on a link contained in CSing emails I don't get redirected to the app, but especially I don't receive notifications. I know I receive messages and request only because I receive the email.

Ankur Tripathi September 24, 2016

Inbox messages aren't syncing Solve the problem please!

Awesome Just Awesome to make friends around the world

Châu Quang September 9, 2016

Good experience I like the app. Its convenient on the go. i will give the website and the idea 5 stars. The app, 4 as there are things that can get better. For example, in the search of hosts, the last login option is from 1 week, while on the website it can be 1 day (why!). And also i received emails on gmail about messages even before the app gives any sign of incoming message. I think these are the things to work on. But overall i like.

Great concept, great app I have met so many interesting people through Couch Surfing! In addition, I've saved so much on accommodations! The app is easy to use. The only drawback I know of is that email alerts don't work with Yahoo mail, and there seems to be no hurry to fix this.

Kaye Alvarado August 14, 2016

Serendipity A friend suggested that I try couchsurfing when she knew I was doing some solo travelling. Only lately have I realized that she's actually referring to this app. I stumbled upon this app later on due to a research I'm doing but got hooked to using it instead. Haven't tried actual couchsurfing yet though. Another thing added to my bucketlist.

Richard Strater September 1, 2016

A game changer I've travelled on my own many times. Discovering couchsurfing in the past few years has really changed how I view the world. It's made me feel a lot less afraid to be in new places and it has taught me to love all peoples. I wouldn't want to travel any other way. I love couchsurfing.

Avishay Zarad August 15, 2016

On the surface awesome, but actually lacking No bugs at all, the design is clear and appealing, but it's annoying as hell. You can't access the sidebar from anywhere but the home screen (seriously, I want to check my inbox, but instead I have this useless back button)! Also, you can't save messages as drafts. Use the mobile compatible website instead. Devs, I really want to love this app. Please hid to my critique

Kateřina Pavlová August 13, 2016

Missing discussion I downloaded the app because I wanted to participate in discussions and answering questions easily (in mobile site it has some bugs). But turns out it is not included in the app... I need a complete app, this is totaly insufficient. Also the UX is bad, I did not orientate well in the left menu. Please redesign and complete the app, it has a lot of flaws.

Kevin Burt September 3, 2016

Great app This app has enabled me to do some traveling while taking the worry off that I would be either put $100 for a hotel room or homeless for the night. I've met some incredible people through this app who have all been so generous and kind. There's a lot of different kinds of people who walk this Earth and one day I hope to travel overseas to explore the vastness of Earth while using Couchsurfing as a platform to meet people and provide temporary housing.

Love CS, but the app needs to be improved Points of improvement: -No notifications, so I need to open the app and refresh messages to know -Groups are not in the app -can't search for hosts in a country, only cities. Besides that most things are very good :)

August 20, 2016

This is just the beginning I don't know what the alternative to such a big service can be. You get people who help you in every possible way and you have the security of others having stayed with them from the comments left by previous hosts/guests.

Chris Wegen August 17, 2016

Missing the groups The app is quite nice and very easy to use, but I'm missing the groups. You can't post in any or see what is going on there, so it would be nice if those could be added in a future update

Justyna Fenrych August 22, 2016

Leaving references I hosted someone and I went onto her profile to try to write a reference as a host. It was unclear if I should leave the reference under the host tab (I was the host) or the surfer tab (she was the surfer). In any case, I tried writing it in under the host tab and the app saved it under the 'personal reference' section. It needs to be made clearer.

September 8, 2016

Having some trouble... I really enjoy the couchsurfing, but for some time the app has been reluctant to show me hosts. When i press find host it always shows me "no hosts in this area" regardless of where. That is said while i know there are host because they show up on my computer. Please fix this!

Matan Liram August 28, 2016

Great app, some UX flaws When you write a couch request, you may want to have a second look at the host's profile, in order to do that you need to copy the message, discard it, look at the profile and then rechoose the dates and paste. Too complicated! Except for that the application is awesome :)

Joe Featherwind September 9, 2016

Better than website But still clumsy. And it's impossible to copy profile link or else way to share member's profile to anyone, which would often send u to website anyway.

Alex Guy August 23, 2016

Fantastic way to experience new things I've only surfed twice at this point but I plan to do much more. I've met some amazing new people and it'd helped me survive a little easier overseas!

Fstarocka Burns September 12, 2016

App just needs some basic upgrades Fixed drop down menu accessible from anywhere, super annoying to get lost and use a back button! Ability to search for / browse groups by city, esp emergency!! Possibly a way to exclude someone from searches whom uve contacted already, very useful feature. Otherwise thanks, app still functional :)

Prashant Tripathi August 13, 2016

The app needs work Rating is for the site and community, app looks like work in progress, many features missing, but I guess we'll get it right in sometime.
