Couchsurfing Travel App

I had an and lost an account since before the pandemic and created a new one the idea was great back then, only when I tried subscribing they asked for money and that changes everything, if you don’t wanna pay 4$ a month on an app you’ll probably only use a couple weeks a year, go somewhere else

Be careful! I wanted to try this app because I heard good things from people who used it when it was still for free. After I payed a monthly contribution to start creating a profile, I was charged 56 euros extra to verify my identification. I only realised this while checking my banking app after I decided to delete my coachsurfing profile. I feel betrayed. Lost 60 euros while never even using this app.

Awesome!

Pricing isn’t accurate. Ni free version so it should be considered a payed app!

After creating a profile and paying a “contribution” of €15 per a year (which is actually a recurring subscription) you’ll be told to verify your account for an extra €56. What a joke!

I used this app in the past and I was happy with it. I don't want to pay for it now because I feel like everyone is leaving the platform because of it so it must be harder to find couch surfers. I'd rather use a free app with a few adds.

Le Concept de Couchsurfing est génial et répandu sur toute la planète (je l’ai essayé absolument partout). Par contre, l’APP rencontre quelques bugs de chargement (notamment pour les events et les hangouts). Espérons que ça soit corrigé dans un prochain update

Volunteers built this community and it was taken over for profit and users barred access to their accounts unless they pay a fee. I’m not against fees but not like this and not off the backs of those who have been generous to volunteer and host for free.

Dommage que ce soit devenu payant

Suddenly demanding payment and locking people out of their accounts with zero warning or notice is despicable business practice and a disgrace to the community. CS doesn’t even own their decision, making empty claims that “they believe in something bigger than money”, while forcing you to pay just to restore access to your account. That’s not just bad business, that’s outright blackmail.
