Tourbar Review

Tourbar is a niche meeting app which is especially designed for travelers to meet abroad as travel buddies or a travel partner. Travelers going abroad may also locate a native to act as their tour guide around the city.

In conclusion, Tourbar is an app that looks good on paper but is shown to be sketchy in regards to the user interface.

 

Though the original purpose was for travellers, the app has been misused as a method of scamming other people or for users to simply market themselves.

 

Personally I would not recommend this app as there are better options in the market.

Some users have complaint that the app will meddle with your personal information, such as changing your profile information without any permission given. There have also been reports of fake accounts on the app, which luckily will be removed when reported to customer service.

 

Besides that, TourBar has been said to have minimal to no function if you do not pay for premium. For example, users have been unable to initiate a conversation without paying for premium. On top of that the fees for premium membership is said to be expensive, given that the users on the site are mostly from third world countries.

 

After searching through the app’s user list, there is a vast majority of male users that are from Middle East and female users from Ukraine or Russia.
