useful but some issues
i like the app, i like the way it helps me travel for less money. there are some bugs on the app but nothing too bad. HOWEVER, I am really disappointed with the way they handle bad hosts. I had already seen some people say that Worldpackers hid the bad reviews and only posted the good ones, but didn’t think much of it. I applied to a host with literally dozens of good reviews but when I got there I had a horrible time. We were 6 at the same time and everyone left early. The assistance took so long to answer the other volunteers when they asked for help to get out of there that I just found help from elsewhere because I knew they couldn’t help me fast enough. All 6 of us wrote honest reviews, I know mine contained no insults and no harsh comment, and I gave 3 stars. Still, they didn’t put ANY of our 6 reviews on the host’s profile. A month later, I’ve seen new reviews appear, but of course, only good ones. I am really disappointed because if I had seen all reviews, good and bad, I could’ve made a better decision as to wether or not I wanted to go work for that host. I wasted money getting there and dealing with the consequences.
DONT
You have to pay for this application and then after when you are trying to apply to Asia no body answer you and the one that answer you or asking you a lot of money sometimes 60$ a day to work for them .. and also one of the host told me that this price was to cover everything if they get cut because it’s not legal to do that over there! I ask a refund the first week and then after they answered me the next week and they said that the refund was for the first week only. They are all steeler and abusing our generosity, both of them.
Additional fee icon
Hi, I couldn’t find where to contact you and write a complaint sooooo.. I’ve just gotten my first worldpackers opportunity but on the app the additional fee icon was not present. Which it is present on the website. This is an icon that should be present on the app as now that the confusion has settled I’ll have to change my plans and have waited here a few days which was now unneeded. Otherwise the app is pretty good. But I think I’ll double check with the website from now on.
*I ended up finding the contact and they responded quite quickly and were very happy to help me. So I’m happy with my experience with them. Their app is very easy to read and use though and it is formatted better then the other ones. Just needs more opportunities in some countries and then it’ll be gold. 🙂
Great service for the indecisive
World packers is user friendly, organized, and a great way to explore things in life with little risk. You can exchange the talents and tools you have to better both your life and someone else’s. I think this app is well worth the in-app purchase.
