  The most busted app redesign ever

  These geniuses took a perfectly functional app and made it almost unusable. It’s shocking. I’m on the opposite side of the planet and keep getting requests to stay at my place, because the app seems to no longer have a way to change your hosting status. And when you decline, it sends a cold-sounding, automated rejection. There’s no way to write your own message. Absolute garbage. If I ran CS, I would fire the people who made this or sue the company who did. It’s almost impressively bad.

  Thank you

  I know a lot of us are not happy with the update, but still I wanted to thank you for keeping Couchsurfing culture alive. It brings people together. That’s the point

  HORRIBLE DESIGN

  They have ruined the essence of what couchsurfing used to be! I have years hosting people and honestly with this new design I honestly don’t fancy to keep helping travelers anymore just because of how bad this new design is!

  Ruined

  I loved this app so much. I met so many people on Hangouts over the years. They utterly ruined it. Why they would basically sunset the best and most popular feature is totally beyond me. But it’s sad, because it used to be really awesome.

  Paywall

  I’ve been on Couchsurfing since it was first created. I used to love this site. In fact I met my wife through Couchsurfing. The fact that they have a hard paywall now you can’t even view your history without paying some corporation ransom money is completely ridiculous.

  Bring back hangouts

  They ruined an app that was good for many years. Hangouts no longer works.

  Great App - Great Organization

  Just like music, Couchsurfing brings the world together. The newly upgraded app makes it easier than ever to connect with hosts, surfers, and locals in over 200,000 cities. With enhanced safety features and a vibrant global community, Couchsurfing remains the ultimate way to experience the world.

  What just happened

  Couchsurfing chaged their whole design, it totally looks like a dating app now... Confusing, not user friendly, far from what it was. I unfortunately paid the yearly subscription before this whole thing.

  Awful

  The worst update ever. The App was already bad with people using it as a Dating App. Now, it request to pay or share your information to be able to read your messages. It is trash not useful anymore. I have been a member for a long time. I am so disappointed

  Not user friendly

  The app has become incredibly difficult to use. The messaging system feels cluttered, with chat request now required and no clear way to delete hundreds of old messages which seem to have appeared out of nowhere. I’m also confused by many of the recent changes, which feel sudden and poorly explained. I spent about 30 minutes trying to post a trip and still couldn’t figure it out. Is a trip now considered a post or are those different things? I couldn’t even find a place to enter dates. Eventually, I gave up. It feels like the platform went years without any major updates, then suddenly changed everything at once. A more gradual rollout would’ve made the transition much easier for longtime users.
