Too bad they got greedy. ### 3/5 — Not a new idea, but app is nice. Although too many bugs 🫤 *2024-10-12, version 1.73.0* especially with gallery picker ### 1/5 — Waitlist to get in *2024-08-08, version 1.66.0* Why advertise this app to me, then not allow me to use it? You have to be on a waitlist to use the app.. ### 3/5 — Could be amazing *2024-06-15* Amigo has a great concept, but needs much better execution. All the features are exactly what I want a travel app to do, but none work well enough to use IRL. Populating trips w potential destinations is extremely time consuming, and actually not worth doing, since it’s almost impossible to see all of your “wishlist” in one place. The feature I wanted to love most is the map with pins showing all scheduled or “wishlist”-ed destinations, so that I could easily see what was nearby, and visit them as my schedule allows. I didn’t realize until I tried to use the map on my first Amigo-assisted trip that the map doesn’t have enough detail to see where the destinations are, outside of their general neighborhood/vicinity, certainly no turn by turn assistance or even a name/listed address. Lastly, unless you’re ready to schedule your entire itinerary, sharing “wishlist”-ed destinations with your “Amigos” is impossible. Amigo! Please hire some great developers! I don’t care at all about influencer/sponsored content and bland suggestions, I really want your tech to work - it’s so close to being exactly what I am looking for! ### 4/5 — For Mac. And a map. *2024-05-29, version 1.58.1* I really love the concept of the app. It has a. nice vibe, it looks chic. But I would really like to open this on my Mac too. It's just easier for me. Also, I would recommend to add a map of the world or of each country.. Because when I add places to for example 'Ibiza', then the person looking at those recommendations has to look at every restaurant online where it is on the island. It's just easier if you see it on the map. And if you would add a map, please keep it clean, and don't work with too many symbols/colors.. ### 3/5 — Desktop Version Would be Appreciated *2024-05-08* It’s a handy app but really wish there was a desktop version so that you could build your trip “on the big screen” and then be able to be on the go with the app. ### 2/5 — Glitchy *2024-03-18* Joined a year ago and I’m experiencing the same glitches I did then. Uploading is painful. No engagement and not many reviews and recommendations for popular destinations. I can only guess most people have given up and stopped using it. ### 3/5 — Nice but *2024-02-22* Really good idea and good community !! BUT should definitely have a map research system to easily find the reco around the place we currently are. For the moment we have to search (for each spot) if by any chance it is close by … Take to much time to really be efficient !! ### 2/5 — Fix glitches *2024-02-11* Love the concept of Amigo but the app seriously needs improvements… so glitchy & slow. It crashes whenever I try and upload photos. ### 1/5 — Slow and clunky *2023-12-11, version 1.40.0* Thought I’d try it out but really unusable. It’s slow and not well made as many things don’t even work, I’m on an iPhone 15 pro. Deleted. ### 1/5 — Gatekeeping / You have to know the right people to be able to user this app *2023-10-12* I was really looking forward to this app but you are only able to use this app if you get invited or join a wait list. I joined the list 2 weeks ago and nothing happened jet. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — subsription *2026-07-18* this used to be the best app ever ### 1/5 — Good concept bad execution *2026-06-12* The actual idea of the app is great bht how it works is not. Constant errors and having to uninstall and reinstall the app to use it. ### 1/5 — subscription *2025-11-10* this app was incredible and now is so wildly overpriced for some basic features ### 1/5 — Buggy app *2025-08-29* Great concept let down by serious UI issues. Posts not saving properly, image selection glitchy, edits get lost into thin air. ### 1/5 — Tastemakers fill the gap for poor user experience *2025-06-15* The user experience is terrible. They launched a “premium” version recently and all their emails link out to articles behind a paywall. The only reason it’s helpful is because of the tastemakers inputting recommendations. A lot of this information can be found on instagram and substack now though. The app is nice as it removes the search and is helpful for organizing. ### 1/5 — Unusable *2025-06-01* Great app ruined by a subscription model. ### 1/5 — Premium subscription *2025-04-08, version 1.94.0* I’m so disappointed with a new update, especially that you did only one year subscription without payment per month, now it’s impossible to see people by destination, and only that you have without a subscription is really boring and hype places.. it was one of my fav app, and I understand founders interest in money doing, but now for me this app is totally useless. All this free info I could find on insta or tt with much better UX design. I’m really upset that you just turned the community into a paid annual subscription💔 ### 1/5 — Does not work well *2025-02-28, version 1.88.0* So hard to navigate and only shows you expensive places, this is unhelpful ### 1/5 — Super laggy *2024-12-22* Great app however it’s super super slow and crashes all the time. Takes forever to upload images and filter through recommendations. App is just generally slow which is unfortunate because it’s super useful. App often crashes and quits mid way through upload / search. This has been happening for 4 - 6 months each time since I download it. ### 1/5 — Been in the waitlist and now always show error *2024-08-25, version 1.68.0* I have been in the waitlist like all summer. And then I tried to again fill the form and it always says error. Shame as I was expecting to use this. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Quality bread *2026-09-02* Amazing small local bakery run by Sam, the Forest Sourdough is superb, also great pastries, limited opening times so check before going ### 5/5 — Vibing to the beat and food! *2026-07-06, version 2.46.0* Great music, social atmosphere and first time going to AmiGo spot! Great spot! ### 5/5 — Authentic Valencien Paella *2026-03-14* Good restaurant, which is visited a lot by locals. Paella dishes have to be preordered the day before… worth it! ### 5/5 — AmiGo never disappoints *2025-08-05* … ### 5/5 — A-mazing *2025-03-09, version 1.90.0* Best app, loveeee it ### 5/5 — The best travel app *2025-01-27, version 1.84.0* Best app to discover hidden gems loved by locals ### 5/5 — AmiGo till I die *2024-04-09* The best app for exploring a new city, country, or even discovering local gems. I’ve had the app for about a year now; planned several day trips and international jaunts with it by my side. Of course, always check the area a new place is in, do your due diligence, but this app saves countless hours and because it is curated I have had maybe only one failed rec. It is still a little glitchy at times, but like wine, that will get better with age. No matter if you are travelling near or far, trust, you need AmiGo in your life. ### 5/5 — The only travel app I would ever use *2023-11-30* 10/10 ### 5/5 — The best app for travel recommendations *2023-10-19* Such an easy and effective app! I love it! I use it when I’m at home or when I travel. It’s so helpful to find the best places to stay, eat, see and shop! So thoughtful and intuitive! Love the ratings and comments! This is a must application for anyone who loves to travel and explore the world with honest genuine advice from friends and family and influencers ### 5/5 — Love this app and use it whenever traveling *2023-08-24* Love this for showing me recs I actually trust to be similar to my own taste and rendered nicely visually vs Yelp. Would dock a star since the UX/UI is challenging sometimes and things are slow to load which is a nuisance, but won’t because am too loyal to the app and think it’s just an early set of bugs they’ll fix. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
