Ratings and reviews

Fantastic app for couchsurfing! Reminds me of what CS used to be back in the golden days. I really like the map search which has tons of filters. It also has a bunch of safety features. I still can't believe this app is free and was built entirely by volunteers and is open source; It has a modern, clean design that is easy to use. They continuously are updating, adding features and crushing bugs. Keep up the good work!

Great app with regular feature releases. It covers the core functionality you need to couch surf, like hosting, surfing, events, communities and discussions. Their roadmap also looks promising. It's the new go to platform for anything couch surfing.

Very happy that there's finally an app! Host requests, messaging, events and notifications work great as far as I can tell. Eases the use of this beautiful platform when on the move immensely!
