Love it, it's the best app to travel
Previous version wqs a lot better. But, I have met so much people. Kind, friendly, helpful, fun. An app for people that love travels and knowing different cultures around the world
New version made unusable
The new version of the app is such a bizarre change. It looks like the good people of couchsurfing wanted this app to be more like grindr/dice/discord/some internet dark room. Very hard to use and a shame for people that rely on this for emergency housing while traveling. Also gives off a very wrong vibe to make this look like a dating app when women/queer ppl were already trying not to get SA'd when using the original app. Do y'all not have any women on your team? Seriously how did this get past testing?
This app used to be people & community-centric but it's now almost impossible to use. Please at least make a light mode for users.
Couchsurfing team really lost the plot on this one.

8/2026 Terrible update
Been using Couchsurfing for nearly a decade. This app update is horrible. Part of it’s beauty was the simplicity. Now it lags, it’s hard to find what you’re looking for and it just looks really ugly. Like a sketchy, dark club you get robbed in.
I used to love using the hangouts feature to easily meet up with people but the update makes it a bit hard and shows people that are really far away.
Go to the hostelworld app if you’re looking for the hangouts feature. So much better than Couchsurfing now.
Note to developers - Please go back to the simple, bright, and warm feeling vibe you used to have in the app. And keep it simple.

no place to stay
I have contacted host for many trips for a place to stay and everyone that says they can host is always traveling. I am in Florida and I could find no one on the coastal areas that could host anytime.
New version is really bad
The new version is just a joke. Not just how does it look like but how confusing it is! I have no clue why do I pay fee per year as it’s still want me to pay another money for…. plus to find people lately is almost impossible. One of the reasons? They are leaving this app
