Ratings and reviews

Idea is great, execution is awful. You have to pay for a subscription to connect with other travelers, and even their in-app chat feature can be buggy. I receive notifications for various things despite turning off notifications; probably a marketing gimmick to attract paid subscribers. Seems to be quite a bit of catfishing occurring and others who use it as a dating app. User demographic seems like mostly middle aged men. Honestly better off traveling solo.

Concept is good and was able to connect with other solo travelers (only if you pay), otherwise they will only let you know someone viewed your trips. Also some catfish accounts will like your trip/profile same like some dating apps so they will make you pay premium to "view likes". Other than these ethics, UI is pretty friendly and trust factor is good to authenticate the other travellers. All the best in improving the app and hope it gets all the downs straightened out soon.

Somewhat okay app. 1) The app says it gives a free 7 days trail which is possible only when you invite your friends to sign up and they have to verify their phone number!!! This is too much of marketing technique :/ 2) I can contact other travelers only with premium features. Also the app is quite slow and has minor bugs that has to be fixed. 3) Most important is that the search option is not working properly. I live in Lausanne, Switzerland and could not find this city in the search bar.
