This app is just rubbish! I've been on this app for several weeks. I've sent requests after requests and all have been declined except for one. I was grateful for my first and probably last CS stay. I don't know why people decline, saying they're not available because they are out of town, yet when you go through the filters and choose ONLY ACCEPTING, all are under that. If they are "not available" then change your status or whatever it's called to NOT ACCEPTING. What a waste of time!

The problem is that when I pay the $2.99 Couchsurfing subscription, I saw a large message instructing me to "verify your account with your credit card." Since other services, such as Amazon Web Services (AWS), verify account authenticity with a card (without any charge), many people, including myself, add their card without noticing the small, light gray text that reveals the hidden price. By the time you realize this, it's basically too late. You are charged 56 euros, which doesn't seem legal

Not really my favorite experience. There isn't a good "social networking" vibe on the app. For example, finding the person I'm standing next to is near impossible - this gets in the way of our conversation and reduces the number of friends I have on the app. Also, events disappear as soon as they are over which makes it impossible to reconnect with people I forgot to share contact info with. All in all, not a joy to use. Hopeful for the future ☺️

The app is lagging and the messages aren't syncing in time. I would receive messages a day later, it's not refreshing properly, and I haven't been receiving any notifications. But when I use the app on an iOS device, it runs smoothly, it updates and make routinely patches to ensure its quality. As an Android user, I don't feel we're recognize as part of that couch surfing ecosystem.

If the app is completely paywalled, that isn't "in app purchases." That's just a paid app. Made an account then immediately deleted it because I couldn't even explore the app without subscribing. I'm not giving you my credit card without any idea what I'm even paying for. That's insane. update: I deleted my account but they still sent me email. Even scummier: I went to unsubscribe from everything and you CANNOT uncheck the boxes for affiliate promotions. I'm going to get spam FOREVER now. 🔥🗑️

AVOID! I used it mostly for the hangout feature which sucked. You have to pay for a subscription to use the app at all, so you don't even get a trial. After a few days, I tried to delete my profile, but it turns out they don't have a button for that and they make it extremely difficult. Apparently they want to keep your data and maybe even charge your card for auto-renewal if you can't figure it out. They make you send them an email requesting deletion and you have to provide info. Don't sign up
