Limited functions *2026-02-02, version 6.7.2* I hope the developers read this because I think this could be a huge virtual hub for travellers. It has some very cool features and fun ideas with a nice interface. Firstly, I don’t like how much pesters you to keep your current location on. I was automatically added to local groups which is a privacy concern. Secondly , the search functions are very limited. It would be great if you could search by hashtag or another level of granularity to find experiences. There are only a handful of groups which are currently too vast to really be useful, especially as user base grows. Right now, it’s no more useful than TripAdvisor really, but with less reviews. I also couldn’t add Spain and Thailand to my past trips. I’ll try using it when I’m on my travels next month, and I’ll update this review. ### 4/5 — Like this app *2025-09-03, version 6.6.52* But guys use it to sell cripto and girls to sell themselves like their Only Fans Page 😑 ### 2/5 — Bug ouverture app *2025-05-28, version 6.6.44* Après l’installation, l’application s’ouvre qu’une seule fois. Ensuite elle ne veut plus s’ouvrir. Pour que je puisse l’ouvrir à nouveau, il faut que je la désinstalle et réinstalle, c’est très contraignant. ### 3/5 — app glitched *2025-05-14, version 6.6.43* jumped from one page to another page ### 3/5 — Loved it but Performance issues *2025-03-07, version 6.6.38* I like the app very much… but the performance is very bad.. always loading, gets stuck… too slow….. please improve. ### 2/5 — Crashing chat constantly *2025-02-12, version 6.6.34* Got new message from someone and message popping up “let’s see if you have email” super annoying makes app not possible to use ### 1/5 — Group chat!!!! *2025-01-09, version 6.6.30* please give us control to not be included in group chats! The group chats should be optional. This is the worst idea the app ever did….if someone ask a question they should just post as a public post. Not include everyone in a region! Notifications controls don’t work and the are scammers in the group. Please remove group chat or give us the choice to OPT out! ### 2/5 — Has potential *2024-12-11, version 6.6.28* This app freezes and swaps screens loosing track of where you were searching. Has so much potential is bugs were fixed- would be great to meet solo travellers on here! ### 2/5 — Hmm *2024-12-09, version 6.6.27* All is well designed, and has potential, but not as useful as it could be. It does not let me select specific cities or locations, just general countries.. a bit pointless when you enter trip details and find someone also travelling to the same country but 500km away… ### 2/5 — Good *2024-11-04, version 6.6.24* Useful ### 1/5 — Cant login *2024-09-24, version 6.6.19* Not able to log on ### 1/5 — Trash *2024-08-13, version 6.6.16* Not worth it. You do not connect with local travelers. Liars. The posts are from years! Years ago. Bad advertising! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Garbage Spam *2026-07-08, version 6.7.40* I can’t tell if this was ever a real app. I tried it. It’s garbage! No idea how it works. There’s lots of gold spinny things yelling at you to spin them and earn “cash”. That level of garbage. ### 1/5 — Crypto spammers heaven *2026-07-04, version 6.7.40* Travello used to be a great app that helped travellers gain ideas, tips and inspiration from other travellers. While it can still serve that purpose, it’s become heavily infiltrated by spammers, scammers and crypto traders who post totally irrelevant content. The admin of the app is pretty non-existent meaning that irrelevant content floods the platform on a daily basis without filtration or removal. This has ruined the experience for travel-focused users of the app. There are now far better alternatives on the market. ### 1/5 — Glitchy, outdated UI and not straightforward at all *2026-06-17, version 6.7.39* The app screen keeps reloading rapidly on its own for no reason. Created my profile but nothing is showing up in terms of what the app seems to be advertising so not really sure what the point is. The one thing that worked was asking for payment if I wanted to buy points for things?? I don’t even know what I’m buying so why would I want to give money to this app? Very weird. ### 1/5 — Use other apps! *2026-06-04, version 6.7.38* This app is horrific. The app itself doesn’t work (I have tried to book things, but it just won’t let me upload my personal details to do so), and the company has very strict cancellation rules. All this doesn’t come with a better price - in fact, without any promotional discounts, the costs are often a lot higher. I’d stick with Klook or GetYourGuide. ### 1/5 — Too many bugs *2025-11-28, version 6.6.59* Needs to be fixed bc it crashes all the time ### 1/5 — DO NOT BOOK WITH TRAVELLO – WORST EXPERIENCE EVER *2025-07-06, version 6.6.46* We booked the Ocean Safari Great Barrier Reef Morning Tour via Travello for June 28, 2025. The booking was confirmed, we received vouchers and all details seemed fine. But when we showed up for the tour, the operator told us that the tour was never scheduled due to weather conditions and should not have been available for booking in the first place. Ocean Safari had no idea about our booking – it simply didn’t exist in their system. We stood there, ready to go, and were completely turned away. Since then, Travello has completely ghosted us. It’s been over ten days now, and we’ve had no response at all — not via email, not by phone, not through the contact form. This is unacceptable and completely unprofessional. Travello sold us a tour that wasn’t running. They took our money, and now they’re not even replying to refund requests. We’re incredibly disappointed, and we strongly warn others: DO NOT trust this platform. You might end up stranded like we were, with no help and no compensation. ### 1/5 — The worst App *2025-06-29, version 6.6.46* This app is really hard to navigate. I can’t find my current upcoming booking and I can’t add it after I have paid for my tour online, because their system don’t allow it. Also can’t find and see my cashback voucher. ### 1/5 — no se entiende muy bien para que son los créditos, *2025-05-16, version 6.6.43* muy poco orientativa, sale un popup para que compres más créditos y la única opción que te da es “shop now”, solo puedes salir de ahí cerrando la app ### 1/5 — Unsafe practices *2025-03-06, version 6.6.38* I, along with 5 of my friends, booked a tour departing from Rainbow Beach on March 8, 2025. However, despite the unexpected cyclone disaster (Cyclone Alfred) and serious government safety warnings, Travello sarcastically encouraged us to drive from Gold Coast to Rainbow Beach. We requested cancellation, but received no support and were continuously misinformed. As students, we feel this behavior took advantage of our lack of knowledge about our rights. Our safety was ignored, and we are left with no viable options. We would like to make this issue public and hope for a resolution. ### 1/5 — Not a thing - it is dead *2025-01-11, version 6.6.30* Seems like it used to be a user generated type thing yeeears ago Now it is a redirect farming advert and rewards scheme for its own tours(?) which no traveller would need This app is your time for someone else’s money - no one gets to chat or meet ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — 🤩 A must have travel app for solo travellers *2025-07-22, version 6.6.48* Solo female traveller her and Travello has completely changed the way I travel. The community aspect is incredible, like a global network of likeminded adventurers. I’ve met so many amazing people through the app, both locally and overseas. Whether you’re a solo traveller or planning something with friends, the community makes you feel connected and supported wherever you go. The rewards program is a real bonus, just by engaging in the app and sharing my travels, I’ve been able to unlock great discounts on tours and experiences. It’s such a smart idea and gives you that extra nudge to explore more. The interface is clean and easy to use, and I love being able to browse activities and deals based on where I’m heading next. Travello feels like a mix between a social network and a travel planner – and it nails both. Highly recommend for anyone who loves travel, wants inspiration, or just wants to be part of a great global travel community. It’s become one of my go-to apps. ### 5/5 — My favourite travel app *2025-07-06, version 6.6.46* Seriously, this app is amazing. I’m a female solo traveller and I’ve used Travello across Europe, Asia, Australia and New Zealand. It’s such a great community and I’ve met so many amazing people from this app - some will be friends for life! They also have this rewards program where you get points just for using the app and you can use the points for tours and activities around the world. I’m travelling so much cheaper than other people I mention the same tours. 5 stars for this app. If you are a solo traveller this is a must have travel app. ### 5/5 — How can i find my email id *2025-03-21, version 6.6.39* How i find my email id by My phone no i forgot my email id but cant see any option to log in by mobile number or recover email id by mobile number please help me ### 5/5 — Best way to get cheap tours *2025-02-20, version 6.6.36* This app had to be the best kept secret. The reward points you get for just using the app pretty much get you unbeatable prices on every tour or activity there is. Love it ### 5/5 — Best Travel App for solo travellers *2024-12-28, version 6.6.30* Honestly, this app is amazing.

This app is amazing! I recently went on a trip to Vietnam so I posted daily photos of my trip. Not only did I get likes and comments on those posts, I also connected with other travellers in the country, so I got to see their posts and experiences and actually ended up planning some of my trip around that! If you are going travelling this is an essential app to have! It literally tells you what travellers are close to you, so you can connect if you are travelling alone! Travello will definitely be a mainstay for my holidays! ### 5/5 — Best app for solo travellers *2024-12-19, version 6.6.29* Travelling solo in Australians and New Zealand and this app has been the best I have found for meeting other travellers. It’s like instagram crossed with WhatsApp. Really active community and you can add where you are going and it will show you people that are there. I also buy all my tours through Travello because it has a rewards program and basically everything I need wanted to do was cheaper on Travello. I would definitely recommend this app if you are a solo traveler or backpacker. ### 5/5 — Best way to get discounts. *2024-11-28* This app had to be the best kept secret. The reward points you get for just using the app pretty much get you unbeatable prices on every tour or activity there is. Love it **Developer response:** Thanks for the great review and hope you situation gets better! But we are so glad we are helping you connect with other travellers in the same situation around the globe! Travello is YOUR community during this time and we are here to help. That's what friends are for! ### 5/5 — Best app for solo travellers *2024-08-12* Travelling solo in Australians and New Zealand and this app has been the best I have found for meeting other travellers.

I’m a solo traveller backpacking Australia and this app has been a lifesaver. Makes it so easy to meet people, you can literally see other backpackers around you or you put in where you are going and it shows you who else will be there. I also book all of my tours in the app because it has a reward program and it makes everything way cheaper. I’ve already recommended this app to a heap of people and Its definitely worth a download. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
