Good but still worse than the website
In general it’s fine and better than before. However, It doesn’t show new messages automatically, need to always update. Not very convenient. Sometimes locations are incorrect and notifications are late.
Very frustrating and unfair
The hosts do not update their availability status which creates frustration within the community and makes it very difficult to find a place to stay. It’s often necessary to send at least 20-30 requests to hosts and maybe only around 5 will reply. Those who do reply will often be unavailable to host and the rest are no longer using the platform. Couchsurfing penalises surfers who fail to make each and every request personalised towards the hosts profile, but fails to take action against hosts who cannot be bothered to keep their profiles up-to-date. Couchsurfing really needs to review their terms and conditions because at this point in time the system only works if the surfer is prepared to invest several hours into finding a host.

Basic features but slow and laggy
The app has the basic section available to manage your profile, inbox and other sections. Main reason for score is that it's very laggy and slow and tends to require constant relaunching to work as features like hangout and search continuosly fail to load.
