User Reviews

Multiple users praise Zostel app's smooth performance and helpful information for bookings, appreciating it over the website. However, many reviews highlight significant login problems, especially OTP failures and issues with avatar creation blocking access. The onboarding process is cumbersome due to mandatory emoji selection with no skip option. Users express frustration over the inability to cancel bookings within the app and poor customer support responsiveness. Recent updates have introduced app crashes, forced logouts, and degraded UI experience, causing dissatisfaction among users.

What is wrong with the onboarding on the app. I already have an account still I've to walkthrough the whole process of choosing emojis and what not and even there is no skip option for that.
