Ventari: friends save into one shared pot, then book flights and hotels together

WebFree trial

Listed by ventari,

Ventari helps friend groups finally take the trip they keep talking about. Create a shared pool, invite your crew and everyone chips in at their own pace. Get a ping when a friend adds money, watch the pool grow, and when it hits the goal, book real flights and hotels together. Payments are in test mode, so no real money moves.

What the builder wants tested

Sign up with Google or email and swipe through the intro.
Start a pool (try the Morocco trip) and invite a friend with the code.
Add money with the test card 4111 1111 1111 1111 (any future date, CVV 123) and watch the pool grow.

Free trial, then a paid plan. Testers never pay to test. If a trial asks for a card, cancel before it ends.

This app is made and run by its builder, not by TestMyBuild. We tried it once before listing it, which is not a check that it is safe, keeps working or handles your data well. Use your own judgement.

How to test this app

  1. Open the app and sign up with your real email. Start the free trial if there is one.
  2. Use it the way you would use it for real, for at least a day.
  3. Come back here. Post a screenshot of your signup and what you honestly think. One post per app, worth the listing's bounty when approved.

1. First impressions
I opened it on desktop first, but it's clearly built for mobile – on my phone it's a lot better. I'm guessing a native app is your next step, which makes sense.

  • The main CTA is very clear. You know exactly what to tap. Good job.
  • "Save together for your next trip" explains the app in one line. That's your strongest slide.

2. Sign up & intro (what to test #1)
Google sign-in works, feels safe, and I stayed logged in after closing the tab. 👍

The intro itself is where you lose me:

  • "Group trips that actually happen" – the word "actually" is a telltale sign of AI copy. I've reviewed hundreds of apps and it's always "X that actually Y". Rewrite it in your own words, or cut it – slide 1 already explains the app.
  • "Pool full, book it today" – no idea what this means.
  • "Like a group chat, but it books" – interesting concept, haven't seen that before.
  • Currency picker: keep EUR, USD, GBP up front and add an "Other" option that expands a wider list.

The real problem: I swiped through several pages and the only thing you asked me was my currency. Then it says "Your next trip starts here" – and I'm still nowhere. The intro didn't convince me to use the app, it convinced me not to, because it took too long. If I'd been in within 10 seconds, I would've used it. Make sure you think about: Do I actually need to show this or do this? That's a general topic in app development, but especially for your onboarding. You do this great in-app because it's very minimal but in your onboarding you don't seem to do this.

My advice:

  1. Cut it to one page, or move it inside the app. Aim for under 30 seconds from open to using it.
  2. Let people in without logging in, and ask for login only when they hit a feature that needs it. This also helps establish trust. Do need to mention that in your industry it's quite reasonable to need to log in immediately.
  3. Every step you add is a step where people drop off. Build for most people, not someone – for every "someone" feature you lose 10 others.

3. Terms, privacy & GDPR ⚠️
Your terms and conditions look like a copy-paste template – there's no company name in them, just generic text. That's a real legal risk, and it hurts trust, which you need a lot of for an app that holds people's money.

  • Fill in your company details and make the terms specific to your app (you mention Spanish law – make sure it's all consistent).
  • You're in the EU, so add a proper privacy policy, GDPR compliance and cookie consent. You have login, so you definitely have cookies.

4. Starting a pool & inviting a friend (what to test #2)

  • "Start your first pool" is the obvious action – good.
  • Destination search: I typed Phoenix and only got Phoenix airport. I'm going to Phoenix, not to the airport.
  • Dates: I couldn't pick December 2026. Allow any future date, and check you can't pick a date in the past.
  • Budget per person: add an "I don't know yet" option. That's probably exactly what I'm using the app to figure out.
  • Invite code from a friend – great concept, that referral loop will work well.

5. Adding money (what to test #3)
This is where it gets tricky. Right now I'm giving you my money and getting nothing back yet. I like the idea – it forces people to chip in – but for that you need a lot more trust first. Placeholder terms and a web-only app don't help with that.

  • Automatic debit. This is the big one. Charge my card monthly towards the goal instead of making me go to the payment screen every time. That is the value of your app: making sure people pay on time.
  • Partner with a trusted name. An integration with something like Wise or Payoneer would go a long way. People already trust them with their money, so you borrow that trust – and it makes paying into the pool easier too.
  • Let the group set a monthly amount. $10 or $100 a month is easy to commit to.
  • Notifications when someone misses a payment.
  • Plus button: it only adds money to the last selected trip. Let me choose which pool.

6. Mobile app
Go native on iOS and Android – it's part of building trust. And from experience: skip the PWA. Nobody wants to use them.

Bottom line
The UI is really good and the concept is interesting – a risky one, since you're holding people's money, but I have nothing against it. Cut the intro, fix your legal pages, add automatic debit, and lean on a trusted payment partner. With this kind of app the small details matter a lot.
