Why do I have to pay to host?
The app doesn’t work well, many features buggy. Don’t pay for subscription in Japan as there are too few hosts. I suspect not many will join now that even hosting is behind a paywall on the app. You can still access from website no need to download this.
Useful Service, Weak Mobile Execution
Warmshowers as a concept/service is great, but the technical execution in their app and website is minimal. After the new redesign, whenever I try to access messages on the app, it immediately crashes. I end up needing to use the website to send messages, which has some formatting issues on mobile, but at least it doesn’t crash. The website works better on a laptop

Improved
App seems to be improved, though personally I am fine with the website I would probably pay monthly for the app if traveling. I will update this review once I see how messages are being notified in app
Complete Garbage
In a world where there are many other services available, this one is a joke. I determined that almost immediately. When I tried to cancel before my trial period ended, it failed. I moved on to other things, and forgot to address it before the expiration period. The joker running this site emailed me quoting the rules. It didn't matter that I didn't want the service, or that I tried unsuccessfully to cancel. I guess he needed lunch money and needed to take it from an old man amputee. When we used to deal with people face to face, this kind of thing was shameful. Keep that in mind when opening your home to people like this.

Un peu dépassé
Superbe appli, mais l’interface est vraiment dépassée.
Elle mériterait un bon coup de frais et de modernité.
Aussi plus d’ergonomies et de fonctionnalités.
Les développeurs ont ils laissé ce projet?

APP doesn’t work
Paid the $30 fee and the APP will not show hosts anywhere just 2 weeks after registering. I am on a tour across the US on the TransAmerica Bikenonstop. Essentially useless, contacting my credit card company for a chargeback, this is just money grab.
Don’t use this service
Warm Showers is NOT the same company it was years ago.
They deleted their old database, so all the amazing connections I’ve made with hosts and riders is gone. The website no longer recognizes my email, but I sure do still get plenty of spam to that same email somehow!
The app barely works, and WILL leave you stranded.
And don’t be fooled by this whole non-profit classification they’ve managed to get themselves; they still get a salary for gatekeeping people’s adventures. Hence all the fees.
We need to start a new service and a new community.

Bad app. Needs to be fully functional offline including search and map etc .
On a bike this app must work offline for ALL functions . It doesn’t .
Amazing service - poor app
Warmshowers is a true benefit to humanity. The app however is getting in the way of the mission. Please please please rebuild / repair this app before users completely throw up their hands and walk away.
Cannot log in
Paid $30 to open account on web browser, trying to log in on app and I cannot get in. Enter username and password, buffering icon for 1 second, then just gives up and shows a blank map. No error message or any notice on what to do.
Full of bugs
The app is full of bugs, login is not persistent. It feels like it was made with old 2000 libraries. Better to stick with Couchsurfing or, to stay in the bicycler community, try “Welcome to my garden” (not an app, but you can add the website to the homescreen from Safary and it will behaves like a webapp).

Enttäuschend
Das Portal ist toll und ich habe mit Warmshowers auf Radreisen tolle Erfahrungen gemacht. Die App hingegen ist technisch auf dem Stand von vor 20 Jahren und voller Fehler. Dass man monatlich Geld für die Nutzung bezahlt, ist problematisch, da die Fehler scheinbar seit Jahren nicht behoben werden. Schade, hierin steckt eigentlich viel Potenzial.

Just Sad...
...what a once thriving and beautiful way to travel and host was done to by greed, incompetence and failure.
I have had many extremely nice stays over warmshowers and the old model to pay 3€ for a month was also very fair as it also increased a barrier for fraud loggers. The App always had problems but now I can't even log in anymore and the fees are just astronomical. I will try 1NiteTent but it's very sad that warmshowers got destroyed by greedy people.

Utilisez le site web
Je ne vois pas l’intérêt d’une application dont le prix s’ajoute à l’inscription sur le site. J’essaie de devenir hôte mais j’attendrais des demandes en ligne. Tant pis si j’en loupe parce que je n’aurais pas eu de notification.
Ne fonctionne juste pas !
Cette app est totalement inutile car elle ne fonctionne pas, impossible de changer la date de demande ou le lieux extrêmement lent et non fonctionnel, gaspillage de temps et d’argent !!
Ne fonctionne pas
La carte de l’app ne fonctionne pas alors que ça marche très bien par le site web. Pourquoi ?
App simply does not work
I installed the app, paid the $30 sign-up fee, and created my username and password. Since then, I’ve not been able to view the host network, I don’t even think the app is logging me in. I get no indication that I’ve logged in. For example, the menu options do not change, including that the login option persists (if I was logged in, I would expect to see the “login” option disappear or change to “logout” or something to indicate that I indeed logged in successfully. Additionally, I see no change in the map. There are no host locations or details, just a basic map. I wrote to Warm Showers the day after I paid my $30 and requested a refund. I never heard back. I’ve not bothered to use the app since & will never use it again. It’s a $30 scam, in my opinion. Steer clear!

No hosts in Canada
Paid the fee for the full app, hoping I could find some hosts along my bike trip across Canada, but there are no hosts that I have found in Canada.
Sad
I paid my one time membership fee and now it’s a monthly subscription!?! What a disgrace and disappointment, you had such a good thing going. Now you are just another sell out
