Warmshowers App

After the update all is still not functioning. The website barely works but at least it works. App doesn’t load icons, navigation buttons don’t respond to taps. No visual signifier to tell if the data is still loading or if the app has fully crashed. Burn it down and start from scratch. It’s time to stop putting bandaids on this thing.

I love Warmshowers, but this phone app is awful! How is it that when Warmshowers was free things worked better?

Warmshowers is a great organization but an overhaul of the app is badly needed.

Paid for the subscription. Now the app signed me out and when I signed back in it doesn’t recognize I paid for the subscription so it wants me to repay so i can use the app. My subscription on my phone shows it doesn’t expire until 2025. So yeah make sure it doesn’t sign you out if you pay. Was really relying on this app for an upcoming trip.

Crashes constantly, doesn’t reflect actual membership status, etc. Needs serious work.

I am a Warmshowers host and guest. It is so frustrating that I have to purchase a subscription just to see my messages. I have already payed a relatively large one time fee for their website. Stop trying to squeeze money out of your users and go back to what it was made for. Free reciprocal housing for cyclists

The map of availability they show you changes drastically once you purchase. I tried to use this for Baton Rouge. They show multiple people and locations (about 8)… once I signed up the actual map only showed one- which was inactive. It’s essentially useless.

Out of date Charge for you to extend your house as a host but then charge a monthly fee to find other hosts. Don’t waste your money!!!

$30 “joining fee” fee plus an app fee for non functioning app? $47 for what? My profile was removed when they became a business and abandoned the community and spirit of the original creator. When I did three US long tours I was only able to arrange for one host site. 3,500 miles and one host. Now to pay for something and not have any idea if there are any hosts in the area you’re touring? Or if any will be available? I know it’s worked for people I’ve met, back when it was a community and not a business, but if you’re cycling a popular route it’s nearly impossible to find a place to stay. Now I know why no one is using Warm Showers anymore. Check out Nomador in Europe.

I had to pay for subscription and now I have to pay to use the app?
