Idea is great, execution is awful. You have to pay for a subscription to connect with other travelers, and even their in-app chat feature can be buggy. I receive notifications for various things despite turning off notifications; probably a marketing gimmick to attract paid subscribers. Seems to be quite a bit of catfishing occurring and others who use it as a dating app. User demographic seems like mostly middle aged men. Honestly better off traveling solo.

Not enough users on this platform. I've seen the same trips for the past two days (January 6, 2022, Location Query: United States). Also if two or more users select the same meetup point, only one user is shown on the map (i.e both users select the same airport). Good idea but extremely limited userbase.

Hi David, thank you for your review. Our community is actually growing every day with users from over 190 countries at the moment. The map shows the location of the trip creator’s meetup point. If you need any assistance, you can message us in the app or email us at [email protected].

The app isn't bad, unfortunately it has no user base at all. Just some fake or totally unresponsive accounts, with beautiful pictures. With a proper user base it would be great I think. However I cancelled my subscription after a week and they still charged me the next month. That is uncalled for and basically just theft. So, watch out and check your bankaccount.
