Les avis des early adopters

Backpackers who use 88mates across Australia

Lucie M.🇫🇷
Brisbane, QLD

Franchement l'app m'a sauvé la mise pour mes 88 jours. J'avais tout en vrac dans mes notes, là tout est synchro et je sais exactement où j'en suis. Indispensable.

Tom H.🇮🇪
Mildura, VIC

The 88-day tracker is a game changer. I log each day in one tap and always know exactly where I stand. No more counting on my fingers or losing track on a spreadsheet.

Really glad I found this. It covers most of what you need as a backpacker and the community section is great for connecting with people around you.

L'app est vraiment bien foutue. Le suivi des jours et le budget en même temps, c'est exactement ce qu'il me fallait. Je la recommande à tous les PVTistes.
