### 1/5 — Phone number doesn’t work

*2024-01-29*

I am at an AirBnB in Costa Rica. I have put in 1 then my American number , says invalid number- I tried 506 then my number, nope! 1506 and my number, nope! There are no customer service number! Grrrrr!

### 1/5 — Terrible app

*2024-01-28*

Cant even verify my account because the pop up goes up the screen and you cant even press anything

### 1/5 — Lava difícil

*2023-06-04*

I don’t know why this app needs to exist. They haven’t updated it in FOUR YEARS. It doesn’t work on the latest iPhone and barely works on last years iPhone. 

Please give up on this sham of an app and make the website functional. It’s easier to maintain and better for payments. 

Integrate stripe. Payments will be much better. Use some competent email verification provider. 

The current email verification workflow was so bad, it appeared in a nightmare of mine. I woke up in a cold sweat never believing my e-mail deserved to be verified.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2023-05-08*

Literally stopped working before I could dry my clothes

### 1/5 — Not user friendly

*2023-04-10*

I’m staying at an air B&B that uses this app. It been 1 hour and I’m still downloading it. To use I had to set up a new Apple ID that took forever then I tried to connect to pay pal and it would work. 1 hour latter and I’m just now downloading app which has been taking a while to download. The laundry Matt has free Wi-Fi so it’s not my phone. I would rather just pay with coins and have left 55 mins ago.

### 1/5 — Connection problem

*2023-01-23*

Got double charged

### 3/5 — Payment issues

*2021-10-06*

I always seem to have issues with the payment on this app. Card gets blocked after so many times of using it. And now I can’t add a new card. Can you imagine putting clothes in 4 washers and then not being able to pay for 4 dryers?

### 1/5 — Doesn’t even work half the time

*2021-03-21*

For some reason there’s always a network issue. Imagine washing your clothes and not being able to dry them because their system is down. SMH

### 1/5 — Cannot Create Account - won’t take my Cell

*2019-09-01*

This is useless. I am in an Airbnb & it asks for your cell with the CR flag & doesn’t give the option for a United States cell number.  
Cannot use this at all.

**Developer response:** Hi, to use a phone number from another country you can just enter the phone with the calling code as prefix (for example, +1 for American numbers). After it is recognized you will see your country's flag. The Costa Rican flag shows up as a default. We are sorry you had trouble setting up your account.
