Good idea poor execution
Had high expectations for this app but the guides were not useful (didn’t take into account holiday and travel times). We ended up booking everything ourselves. App has weird bugs. Sadly won’t use it again
Amazing
Great app for both travellers and creators. Lots of insights. Definitely worth purchasing guides from here. You get awesome tips and tricks that you can’t find anywhere else!
Great Travel Platform - still needs continued growth
I currently use thatch both as a creator and as a traveling individual searching for guides. Lots of the reviews mention everything being paid which it seems a ton are, but there are so many free guides as well. I do think there need to be better free guides as some are very minimal or incomplete. If people have requests for other cities submit them online so creators know what places to make guides for.
I personally use it on my laptop the most and find the online website to be very well structured and easy to use. Then I use the app on my iPad as well.
Would love to see the map feature continue to develop to a point you can connect multiple locations on the recommended map to create a game plan for the day vs having to enter all of the locations from a guide into Google maps to create their own connected plan.

No search function for large content
I follow a couple in Paris and they’ve used Thatch to make hundreds of restaurant, bakery and chocolate/ice cream shop recommendations. All this app does is plot them on a map for you. There’s no way to search within a certain category for a specific place or food offering. They recommend certain restaurants for one type of cuisine or food and I have to know where in Paris this is first, find it and then add it to my list. Not helpful unless I’m walking around Paris, have this app out and happen to be walking by a particular restaurant. There is no way to really plan ahead with this.

Error 401
I cannot see my profile or save any places/guides on the app. The home screen remains blank. I can only access everything through the web page. Is there a fix for this error?
Wonderful trip planning tool
I’ve updated my review as the issues that were causing nothing but errors and issues have all been resolved.
Thatch.co has become my go to tool for capturing and organizing reference information I gather from various sources for upcoming trips. I’ve not been relying on existing Thatch.co guides, but more online articles and sources elsewhere and using Thatch to organize and track the reference info. Pulling from those reference guides that I create to create more itinerary focused guides. Simple, slick and so helpful.
The ability to pull many years worth of info I’ve accumulated in Google My Maps maps using KML exports has been a game changer.
I hope Thatch.co doesn’t evolve too much or focus too much just on people trying to make money by selling guides. So far, at least, I haven’t found the guides created by others to be that helpful.

Hey there - we had a login issue that we've since fixed that caused some accounts to get created in a half state (which makes everything seem broken) - please email support@thatch.co and we will fix your account! So sorry for the inconvenience.
Error, error, error
Almost nothing seems to work. Seems like a great idea, but almost every single thing I try do to, all I get is a nondescript error message.
I’ve tried in Safari, Chrome, and finally the iPad OS app.
I give up.

Can’t figure out how to work it
Not easy to navigate
Fake reviews
All of these reviews are clearly fake. This app has ZERO functionality. They’re only concerned with follow counts if you want to create a guide which is crazy. The people the app wants to create guides don’t even travel to places that need guides- nobody needs a guide for NYC, they need guides for smaller places. This app completely misses the mark.

Hi there! Thanks for taking the time to submit a review. While our reviews are from real users, I understand that the product missed the mark for you. I'd love to learn more about what you were hoping the app would provide. If you're open to a conversation with our founding team, please shoot us a note at hello@thatch.co. Looking forward to connecting!
Weird app not recommended
These reviews must be paid or random people on this app trying to make money because this is not a good app for travel planning. It’s a marketplace of guides. You have to buy everything lol all you can view is your own stuff. But a guide and don’t like it, well too bad you just paid $35 for nothing. I’m an avid traveler and this just seems like a waste of time. Was hoping it would be interesting. Not recommended.

Hi Prman79 - while many guides on the platform cost money (because we believe in the value of travel creators' insights), there is also lots of free content on the platform as well. That said, totally understand that the app didn't meet your needs. Would you be open to a conversation with our founders to learn more about what you were hoping for? If so, shoot us a note at hello@thatch.co. Thanks!
Great User Experience
I really enjoy this app’s user experience both as a guide creator and as a user who uses the other people’s guide.
Easy to use, intuitive and user friendly!

Great app
Wish I’d found this app earlier, recommended it to countless people, it’s great for creating plans for holidays and for finding recommendations from other travellers
New fav travel app
Love the concept and design. Can’t wait to upload my own itineraries too! @alexevans997 on IG!
Great app
Really good way to find locations through a network of like minded people. Still playing around and will update as I get more time with the application
Found My Calling!
So excited to have found Thach. Such an awesome, innovative app that allows me to let out my creativity into the world. Excited to leverage this to learn about other cities while also enlightening others with what I know. Can’t wait to see what’s ahead!
Perfect combination for a planner and avid traveler
As the planner who likes to put trips together down to travel time, maps, and restaurant menus, this app was perfect. I use Thatch to put together my trips (I take one each week) and share them to help others and I’ve funded other trips off sales.
Literally perfect!

My favorite travel app!!
Seriously, this combines all the things I need to plan a trip in one place! I’ve been using Thatch for over a year and LOVE it. I keep all my random travel finds on it - when that friend comes home from Paris and tells you this amazing restaurant, save it here instead of having to hunt through notes on your phone + Google maps + seven other places to find it. It’s super easy to use to plan my trips, get tips and itineraries from others, and share or sell my own!
