Very useful app while traveling. Use the website for full features.

It's nice to see on the iPad who is nearby, but since you have to use the website to contact anyone, it's not exactly a time-saver!

Although I'm only about one week into my trans-am bike tour, I can safely say that this is my favorite app for this kind of journey! So far I have already been able to utilize this app for 3 separate nights and have met 3 amazing families because of it. Easy to use map lets you plan out who you can possibly stay with for the coming nights. Very simple app to use overall, no complaints. If you are doing a cross country tour, this app should be on the top of your list.

There are no obvious benefits to this app. In fact, I find it much LESS useful than the website. All the helpful Adventure Cycling maps don't load in the app. There should be an easier, more user-friendly interface for messaging hosts and managing the inbox. Also, the link to rate this app from within the app doesn't work... coughusecouchsurfinginsteadcoughcough

My wife and I are about to start on a tour from Vancouver to Mexico. This app is great at highlighting all of the places to stay and making it easy to get in touch with folks.
