I’ve started to get multiple requests from the HomeExchange community to stay in our home - especially in school holidays. Often people want overlapping days.
I’d really appreciate a view that shows who is requesting which dates. When I have 4 or 5 requests that are a bit overlapping I have to go through each message and get a bit of paper to show
a) who would like to stay when and
b) how much trust and faith I have in the HomeExchanger asking to stay.
It would be great to have a list and a calendar view that shows all live requests and shows if there is an overlap, but also for other info to show in hover-over on that profile/person:
the profile of that person (with the reviews),
the number of guests in their party,
their star rating,
(and maybe the number of exchanges they’ve done).
To take this to the next level (i.e. even more useful) it would be amazing to have a private tagging system where I could tag people based on my perception of how keen I am to host them based on my research of their profile, the tone and content of their request, etc!)
Welcome to the Forum and thank you for this suggestion. What great news that you have so many requests. Your home must be in a great spot - where are you based? You will be pleased to hear that this is an area that the team are looking into, so that you can organise your messages more efficiently. I’ll certainly pass your ideas onto the team.
Is there a way of seeing what is being considered and a very high level sense of order/priority on the development roadmap?
One other thing to throw in to the pot of possible please, I’m a dd/mm/yyyy kind of guy, as I think all Europeans are, when I get a notification from home exchange on my android phone it is in American style mm/dd/yyyy which really confuses me!
In the home exchange app itself it keeps to dd/mm/yyyy!
I’ve filled in the form to suggest an alumni group (UWC.org) as a potential ‘club’ within HE (https://help.homeexchange.com/hc/en-us/articles/360008019038-Everything-you-need-to-know-about-clubs). I filled the first form in back in July, the second this week. I’ve had no reply. I’ve raised it a few times in chat in the HE app, where the answer was just to wait (not sure if that was just aria the bot or a real person)…is there a way I could check the status or speak to a real person in the know? Your help with be much appreciated.
No i’m afraid there isn’t currently a development roadmap that is available for viewing. Thank you for your feedback about the dates - I wasn’t aware that the format was not consistent across the platform and the app, so I have passed this onto the product team to check.
