Major Highlights of the Week

Trip Planning Frustrations

I used to plan my trips day by day easily, but now I have to manually organize everything, which is frustrating and time-consuming.
Review Moderation Issues

This perceived bias undermines the app's credibility as users feel that important safety-related reviews are being removed without explanation.
Booking and Refund Problems
