Outrageous Cost

To contact local guides the app is charging me $51.99 for 3 (yes THREE) days (yes DAYS). $51.99 FOR 3 DAYS?!?! I could see that for a year. Maybe even a month. That would be over $500USD PER MONTH just to fund a local tour guide. There are other apps people.

Plenty of Scammers on the app
