The biggest problem here is Couch Surfing FORCED MIGRATED our user account into the new platform without letting us know in advance and without user permission. For a subscription based app, this is a problem. In my case, I had just paid for a one year renewal of my subscription only weeks before they forced the migration. Many of the features are gone, and blindly automated. People who haven't logged in years show up in your searches. Messages aren't seen. Not good at all!!!

Pathetic to paywall a couchsurfing app. I'd get it if there were a free option or if the subscription was cheaper but I had already paid a fee to get my profile verified in the past and now they want a monthly subscription? that will be the death of this app. 2026 edit: the new update is awful and unintuitive, borderline unusable. It's basically not even couchsurfing anymore. The best thing they could do is entirely undo the changes.

Couchsurfing is an amazing way to meet new people, experience new things, and learn about other ppl's cultures! Couchsurfing is absolutely amazing, but the app of course can use some improvement. It is missing quite a few of the features that the online site has. And it would be nice to be able to add other albums to your photos. edit - they charged me without authorization
