The app is buggy. I upload post trip photos and sometimes it adds them sometimes it dosent. ### 3/5 — So many bugs! *2026-07-30, version 5.7.2* I really want to love this app. I’ve been an Airbnb and VRBO host for a couple years now and use both of those apps pretty effectively. Jumped in to the world of hosting an RV and downloaded this app. There are so many wonky things about it that I don’t know where to even start. Please get your development team to use the app themselves. There’s no way they could be doing that and not noticing all the issues. ### 4/5 — Overall good app, would like more data *2026-07-13, version 5.7.0* Enjoying this app, as a Host it is helpful to be able to perform my tasks using the mobile app. One feature I would like to see added, since I have multiple listing and receive a message from a potential guest, I cannot see which unit they are referring to on their questions in the app, need to log into my computer to view that which sometimes is not accessible in a timely manner and makes my response time slower. The pre-trip photo upload works awesome and I appreciate I can document prior minor dents/dings so the guest knows they are not responsible for it. ### 4/5 — Good but not host friendly *2026-07-06, version 5.7.0* We need to be able to see what unit or listing a potential renter guest inquiry question comes from. I can’t answer questions about an RV that I don’t know which one they’re role feeding to. Also absolutely terrible that we can’t upload pictures even if timestamped unless physically in front of the unit taking pictures. ### 3/5 — The app is finally good *2026-06-15, version 5.6.7* There was issues for the longest time responding to Smart Match on IOS that are finally corrected. ### 4/5 — It was better about two updates ago. *2026-06-03, version 5.6.6* Overall, I enjoy using the app. It’s convenient for managing my rentals in one place and can be easily navigated. Having said that, some of the features that have been easier to access in the past, are now harder to find with recent updates. For example, navigating to the rental documents like insurance can be hard to find, and I don’t like how the trip start is linked to whatever you set up for the listing; not everyone can pick up at the same time and I like having the flexibility to start the trip at a time the client and I agree to. Additionally, I have a website to provide my clients with a reference of the systems on the van, with links to ‘how to’ videos, but I can’t link the URL in the message app; I have to tell them to google it. It’s not a great way to convey information that’s easily accessible to the client. The confusing part is, there have been times in the past where I’ve been able to paste the website, and other times when I haven’t, pick a plot line already. Anyway, I know there are probably good reasons for the latest updates, but overall I feel like the app is less flexible than it has been in the past. ### 2/5 — No longer a service to Owners *2026-05-25, version 5.6.4* After multiple seasons of renting our campers, we are abandoning this service as they appear to only be concerned with selling insurance plans. We rely on the ability to set our pickup, delivery and cleaning rates, which is no longer possible. Adding photos that were captured on your device before launching the app, no longer possible. Need to make an adjustment to a booking due to a renter request, good luck getting any support after hours of sitting on the phone and in chat sessions. Our time is not worth the little value this platform provides. We'll be marketing our rigs thru other platforms moving forward (as well as migrating our insurance coverage). Enough is enough. ### 5/5 — Easy to use *2026-05-22, version 5.6.4* I really enjoy outdoorsy and the support that we get if needed from staff. This has been a very good platform as a host for renting. ### 5/5 — Great customer service *2026-05-19, version 5.6.3* I love that I can get someone on the phone right away when I have questions! ### 5/5 — Speech to text *2026-05-19, version 5.6.3* A lot of us do this well also working and the speech to text recognition that this software is running is absolutely phenomenal. It’s actually better than iPhone speech to text recognition from a host standpoint being able to work well also responding to potential renters and active renters is a game changer. This whole review was through speech to text with not a single correction. Meanwhile, I think iPhone is trying to kill you while doing it. ### 3/5 — Glitchy ID verification *2026-04-22, version 5.5.6* Have you reviewed how this works, this is ridiculous. App glitches out after adding tax info and then for ID verification it glitches even worse. I have an iPhone 16 pro max it should be seamless ### 5/5 — Bad app *2026-04-18, version 5.5.5* Recently started sharing my camper, like Idea of outdoorsy. But this app is garbage! for how much they charge. They should have an app that doesn’t constantly crash, logging me out every couple minutes and, doesn’t notify me of rental requests. Yes I’ve tried deleting and reinstalling and changing my app settings. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Terrible and crazy app with support *2026-08-18, version 5.7.3* Terrible platform and extremely poor support. My vehicle was damaged by a renter, and for two months Outdoorsy has failed to properly resolve the case or compensate me. I also cannot recover the money from the renter because support keeps opening new reviews and repeatedly requesting information and evidence I have already submitted. The claims process is disorganized, slow, and unacceptable. Based on my experience, I strongly recommend avoiding Outdoorsy. ### 1/5 — It won’t work *2026-07-30, version 5.7.2* The app is the bummer! So many bugs! ### 1/5 — Horrible App *2026-07-27, version 5.7.2* This is the worst app ever. Glitches, emails don’t update, keeps notifying there are unread emails when the inbox is empty. ### 1/5 — Worst booking ever *2026-07-16, version 5.7.1* Literally every single time you try to send a quote that involves delivery with set up it bugs out and you have to do it again every time because it defaults to picking up instead of delivery. It’s extremely annoying when you have to correct quotes and you send false messages to customers all the time. ### 1/5 — Very terrible support *2026-06-07, version 5.6.6* What are you charging such high fees for if vehicles keep coming back extremely dirty and damaged, while your support team fails to do its job? You can’t even secure or collect the guest’s deposit, and then you simply say there is nothing you can do. That means the vehicle is effectively left without any real protection or coverage, and the owner is forced to absorb the entire loss. This is a complete failure of your system and an unacceptable level of customer support. ### 1/5 — Keep shutting down *2026-04-17, version 5.5.5* Please fix this. This version is not working at all. ### 1/5 — Disfunctional *2026-04-15, version 5.5.5* Very limited on form or function. Randomly turns off and on. Reinstalled app, still broke. You need to call in concerning just about anything. All of the host apps are junk these days. Turn off the AI features and let it be a user friendly app. Just because you can doesn’t mean you should……. ### 1/5 — Can’t even list on it *2026-04-10, version 5.5.5* The app freezes up when you try to do anything with verify id support was no help whatsoever. Neither was the AI just kept giving canned information ### 1/5 — Crashes on Bookings *2026-04-07, version 5.5.4* Currently crashes upon trying to access bookings. Keyboard is janky at best. Lack of capitalization, etc is annoying. Doesn’t have near the features or the feel of the full desktop version. ### 1/5 — Worst App Ever *2026-03-25, version 5.5.3* I’ve never written a review for an app. This app has to be the worst and least user friendly I’ve ever experienced. It’s not easy to use, you can’t reach out to anybody for help, it just AI (which is lazy and useless to use l), the fees they charge is insane. In addition to the hefty fee they take out of the reservation, they also take a percentage out when you have to charge a guest post-trip. They should use all the money and hire someone else to fix the app. It shouldn’t be that hard- Airbnb is extremely user friendly. So is RV Share- so what’s going on??? ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Great service and platform *2026-08-11, version 5.7.3* I have been on both sides, a Host and renter before I bought. Always receive timely and great customer service. Excellent platform! ### 5/5 — Excellent *2026-08-07, version 5.7.3* Is the perfect app if you want to rent out your trailer has everything you need and has everything you need for renting and making sure you are covered ### 5/5 — AirBnB for RVs *2026-07-20, version 5.6.8* Awesome concept and excellent customer service! ### 5/5 — Too high fees *2026-07-12, version 5.7.0* Good for the exposure, but their fees for owners are too high! ### 5/5 — Great App! *2026-07-10, version 5.7.0* This is an awesome way to keep the trailer booked with great clients! ### 5/5 — Easy *2026-07-08, version 5.7.0* Easy to learn and manage, very straightforward app and fast for anything I need. This definitely a 10/10 ### 5/5 — Happy trails! *2026-06-29, version 5.7.0* I have been using outdoor Z for many years and they are professional and have good customer service. They are very fair and on your side and on the guest side somehow. I also use other sites as well finding all of them to be pretty good. ### 5/5 — Extremely Disappointed – Worst Experience as a Host! *2026-06-25, version 5.6.9* Outdoorsy fails to protect hosts and covers up thousands in damages! Do not trust Outdoorsy to rent out your RV. They have zero protection for hosts when things go wrong and their customer service is an absolute joke. I recently rented out my RV, and the guest caused extensive damage and overages. After returning the vehicle, the guest maliciously canceled their credit card authorization to avoid being charged. This left me unable to collect $153.20 for excess mileage and generator usage, and $49.80 for a late return. Furthermore, the renter severely burned the kitchen countertop and broke the refrigerator door handle, resulting in $816.00 in repair costs. Totaling over $1,000 in legitimate fees and damages, Outdoorsy’s customer support did absolutely nothing to help. Instead of holding the renter accountable or utilizing their insurance/protection policies, the agents repeatedly gave me the runaround, intentionally dragged out the process for weeks, and finally tried to force me to settle the entire case for a measly $150.00. Outdoorsy allows fraudulent guests to walk away scot-free while leaving hosts to pay for major damages out of pocket. Their "host protection" is a complete scam. I will be filing a formal complaint with the Better Business Bureau (BBB) and taking further legal action if this is not resolved properly. Avoid this platform at all costs! ### 5/5 — Good Luck Getting Paid *2026-06-22, version 5.6.9* My guest departed 30-days ago. I’m still waiting to receive my payout. Customer Service offers platitudes, but no results. They don’t even publish a phone number so you can speak to a real person. You get chatbot and AI generated emails 24-48 hours after you submit a request. I had an old bank account number in the system, so their typical 7-10 day payout policy (why would it take two weeks to transfer funds??!!) has now been 30-days. I email every day. I was assured that t”they are closely monitoring the situation” and then got ghosted for two weeks. Only to get another email full of apologies and platitudes, but they still have my money! I’ve had three different “agents” respond. No one is willing to step up and actually get me paid. Senior management take note. I’ve asked that this case be elevated to a real person with authority to resolve the issue several times. Still waiting… ### 5/5 — Hosting *2026-06-22, version 5.6.8* Great adventures and great people to work with. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
