User Reviews

Reviews praise Warmshowers for its mission and usefulness, particularly the convenience of the mobile app for touring. However, recurring issues overwhelm: login/authentication problems, confusing or unexpected billing with upfront and recurring charges, frequent app crashes and unresponsive UI, and unreliable map/host data that doesn't reflect availability. These outages and billing concerns have driven many long-time users away despite the service's positive goals. Overall, the core concept is valued, but the app's reliability, billing transparency, and UX require critical fixes.

Pros

The Warmshowers concept and community provide valuable reciprocal housing for cyclists.
The mobile app offers convenient on-the-go access for touring and finding hosts.
Some reviewers note updates/improvements that have helped usability.

Cons

Repeated login/authentication problems making it impossible to log in or stay signed in, with login status not reflected after payment.
Billing and subscription issues including upfront $30 sign-up, unexpected recurring charges, and accounts not recognized after payment.
Frequent app instability—crashes, timeouts, unresponsive UI, and loading problems.
Map/host data unreliability—host listings missing or not matching availability and data not syncing.
Detrimental UX changes after redesign, described as amateurish and hard to use.

Recent reviews

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.

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.

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!
