Ratings and reviews

Update: Just use the desktop version instead of the app. The app pretty much crash all the time. Worst app ever. Love warmshower idea and the hosts and happy to pay for the fee. But very buggy app, I been on the road for a couple month and sometime it works well but slow. But a few time, the host site is down and a few missing messages notification emails. I think the slow thing is the worst, it takes forever to load up the points and the inbox messages.

I appreciate Warmshowers as a resource, but the app is awful. The website is clunky, but works better. Makes it easy to believe the stories about the owner of this platform. Are they pocketing most of the membership fees while hiring bottom-dollar developers? Lots of unforced errors in user interface. Messages double-send. Freezes up and needs to be quit and reopened. Displays "currently offline" despite being connected and using internet on other apps. Etc.

Buggy at best and completely unusable at worst. App frequently crashes or won't load properly. Even when performing normally, the functionality is poor. There are no meaningful filters for hosts when searching on the map. There's no meaningful filter for messages with hosts or guests. Finally, the option to edit a planned stay with hosts never worked. It's a true shame that such a wonderful community has to suffer such a terrible interface. WarmShowers should actually pay a software developer.
