Showaround - Find a Local for Negative User Reviews

✓ App has potential, but design is seriously flawedPro: Great you can connect with local guides. App has potential Cons: - Expensive subscription - can't categorise or mark favourites - App automatically defaults your profile to be a guide. With no option to change. This was not what I signed up for, and by design it defaults you as listed as a 'free guide', I have not yet received any unsolicited mail, but won't look too kindly if I do. May have to delete account if that happens..KingklerVersion: 3.2.1

✓ FakeThis is fake.طذزرىنابذVersion: 3.8.1

✓ Terrible app- zero customer service, do NOT subscribeThis app has been taking £18 out of my account for over a year and there appears to be no way to stop it. I have emailed repeatedly to no avail, do not subscribe! Day light robbery.Joe241110Version: 3.7.7

✓ Very weird.I don’t know what’s the point if you put a premium to contact with people, I already new at this app and no one can pay for anything before trying it!!! That’s very weird and that’s the meaning of “ the creator is only looking for money not for popularity or to be the best app “ I am sorry but I don’t like this kind of apps and I don’t want to support it at all..Deleting account ?Version: 3.5.6

✓ Avoid avoid avoidI paid too much for this app, no guides reply and the app crashes, tried in 4 cities. Fail.Choying DolmaVersion: 3.5.3

✓ Does not workA message pops up saying “Update the app.” There is no update. I tried deleting the app and reinstalling it. Same problem. The “Update the app” comes on..Hilltop202Version: 3.4.6

✓ So many glitchesThere is a glitch where l get an email about new message and and l can open it up in safari, but message is nowhere to be found in the app. Also, l can’t delete certain messages from certain people..-BRVersion: 3.4.9

✓ Not working the in box= useless appAs I wrote before it has been an excellent app and I loved it, allowing the visitor to have the assistance of a local in almost every city. It was the best: you create a trip , and the locals offer their services charging an hourly rate. I used the app always as a visitor. I have always made the payments on time and I have got excellent reviews of the guides. Unfortunately , Showaround changed for the worse . The inbox is not working and you cannot receive offers from locals. Showaround pretends to charge the visitors $25 per month. This is US$300 per year, even if you only travel once or twice a year. The app still allows you to create a trip and notifies the locals. However, Showaround blocks the offers and messages that you may receive at your inbox from locals, so the visitor can no longer hire them, and they will no longer have the possibility of work. I insist that it would be more logical and fair to charge a commission per trip. And remember : afterwards you have to pay the local. In case of few annual trips, it is better to hire a professional guide. Showaround, unless it change its policy, is a useless app for the traveler. It's a pity!.Edu UYVersion: 3.8.3

✓ Doesn’t look transparentDeleted the app having seen a few red flags… - no date on when the guides’ profiles were created 🚩 - no date on when they last logged in 🚩🚩 - 3 day free then £50.99 per month auto-renewing 🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩 The pricing structure seems very odd and a cynical person might suspect that it was deliberately set up this way to trap the unwary.MarklithVersion: 3.7.9

✓ FraudulentThis app makes it impossible to stop your subscription. Do Not Pay them. I’m still attempting to end my subscription after closing my account several months ago. Hopefully Apple support can get this solved for me.T1749Version: 3.5.0

✓ ScamThis app is pure scam with fake profiles. All replies are from same person in same tone, doesn't speak local language when I checked. Avoid.Jani ValjavecVersion: 3.0.2

✓ ☠️☠️👎🏻I loved this app when it was free, but after u started charging people, you messed the whole thing.🗿.-ysn-Version: 3.8.5

✓ Great concept but app is buggyGreat idea and concept for travelers in Europe. The app itself is extremely buggy and only works about 50% of the time. If/when the app works, it's great. Much cheaper than hiring a personal tour guide..TMF PradaVersion: 3.3.6

✓ SillyVery silly to charge a fee to search, should be commission based after a deal is reached and taken from the proceeds the guide will make..TazAsaroVersion: 3.5.4

✓ Its full of mystery with untrusted tasteDevelopment team needs to work more on the application, it misses so many tabs needed like adding friends or saving favourites for good tour guides, etc. but the most important thing to me is to show us what is gonna be useful for the users when they pay for a membership “if there is anything else instead of giving reviews”. However, I totally disagree with this idea by paying money before receiving any profits. I would recommend to take a percentage from the money that the local guide will acquire. This will definitely encourage them to do all what they can to be unique persons and to help your site growing up..Shobokshy95Version: 3.5.3

✓ Mostly UnavailableDon't get me wrong, the app works fine, despite a few glitches here and there, however I feel like the cost is high to sign up, and 90% of people were not available, even during my trip in October. However, I did connect with tours on our trip, which were mixed, but cool. So, overall, I would reccomend the app, but don't get overly hopeful about choosing guides/quality..GodfingerzzzVersion: 3.4.0

✓ You can’t unsubscribe easilyThey make it so easy to subscribe and pay, then too difficult unsubscribe to stop paying. they keep cutting money..Abu_LeenVersion: 3.6.3

✓ Super DisappointedApp barely works and is full of bugs. Cant even tell if the people are real on this platform. Refund requested immediately..Dugas WeatherforthVersion: 3.5.1

✓ Can’t receive code to verify my phone numberI’m in China using China carrier and can’t receive code to verify my phone number!.EkitanVersion: 3.5.3

✓ Very disappointedThe app operates great. I didn’t run into any issues, operationally. Unfortunately you aren’t going to get much out of the app. All these 5 star reviews are false, created by programmers, just like a lot of the “locals” available. Specifically the “free” or cheaper priced profiles. I’m traveling to a single area for an entire month, contacted 7+ profiles multiple times, and didn’t get a single response. I’m guessing the cheaper profiles are to get you to buy the app. I can’t confirm they are bots. Probably those who wanted to use the app, but are required to create a profile showing they are “show-a-rounders” in their are. Don’t get to excited. The idea for the app is great, runs well, but I’m traveling alone. My budget is tight and can’t afford $20 to even $60 an hour to be shown around! Purchasing the app is $18 I won’t get back. Unless you have some serious money to burn paying a local to show you around, just talk to your hotel front desk or Airbnb owners. It would just have been nice to at least get a response... 😕.LTAWooVersion: 3.5.0

✓ Is this a scam app?Signed up , never heard from anybody when I tried to find a guide.9999-wwwwVersion: 3.5.3

✓ Don’t waste your time and moneyThis app is a scam, plain and simple. The profiles for both service providers and reviewers are fake. Do not waste your money on this..MaxaregatorVersion: 3.6.2

✓ Impossible to unsubscribeThey make it impossible to unsubscribe.EliprichVersion: 3.7.8
