Fairytrail: Find Travel Buddy 17+

LOVE IT

Loving the app so far. As a fellow digital nomad, it's been a challenge to find those who vibe with my lifestyle and make new friends in new places. But I’ve been able to connect with local people that are visiting from other places too. It's like having a network of friends wherever I go. I was also able to connect with a old friend of mine in a new city, thanks to this app. The developers team's feedback is also very fast and I can see they're making frequent improvements. I'm planning my next trip to Singapore and I will use this app again to find people to connect with!

Strange App & charges $$$ for everything!!

Deeply disappointed in this app. The premise of it sounded unique at first until you download and subscribe. Then it’s a whole other monster. They ask you for fee after fee. They also state it’s a one time low fee but it adds up. It feels really scummy to ask a $2 fee just to pick San Francisco as a place to meet your date considering it’s just part of the game (match the same places), the app isn’t giving you anything for $2. Other places are free. It sort of manipulates people’s answer because no one is going to pay $$ after fee just to play the game to be able to talk to your match. It’s tedious and takes too much time. Not even worth the $2.99 introductory fee it initially forces you to make before you can even swipe. Tinder is better even though tinder you are not meeting as many travelers at least the app doesn’t charge you non stop for silly things that take so long. I’m shocked this APP doesn’t have 1 star because it should. The creators aren’t travelers they are money hungry who are capitalizing off of travelers will to meet their own kind. It’s really scummy. Try couchsurfing, it’s free and you meet tons of verified travelers who have reviews etc.

Feels like it’s in early Beta

(1) The profiles aren’t substantial enough to help you identify a match, so it feels like Tinder (in that you’re mainly using pictures) but with location set to an entire country.
(2) The mini game to match destinations is pointless, because most people pick “anywhere” as an option.
(3) The chat feature is horrendous. Even the app suggests you trade contact info as soon as possible and move to a different service. The annotations that mark a conversation as “my turn” never go away, even after I responded, so I’m just manually checking through every conversation when I open the app.
(4) I get notifications in the middle of the day to “check my matches” even though I already did in the morning. It’s like the notifications are on a timer rather looking at the account.
