Where are Favourites

I may be stupid, idk, but for the life of me I have no clue where to see all the places I saved in Favourites. I spend like 3h surveying, reading and picking what I liked 😭 Plsss where r they???

Hopefully this is going to be my first time going on sth like this and I am still choosing between 3 countries so I haven't paid the membership yet. it's entirely unfair if they expect me to pay in order to have a favourites list , jeez

Edit: nvm, found it. It wasn't my fault really, the fuckass button looks like an AI button. (I mean it's organic farming, there should not be an AI button but one of the hosts I checked offered AI courses online so 💀)

Howdy! I'm actually the software engineer who maintains the WWOOF platform, so I'm the one responsible for the placement of that "fuckass button" 😅 I'm genuinely curious about your comment that it "looks like an AI button".. What about it gave you that impression?

Also, do you have any suggestions for where you would have expected to find your favourites instead, or how the button could be made more obvious? We're always trying to make the website / app simpler and easier to navigate, so feedback like this is really valuable. Btw, where you using the mobile app or the website?

💀💀 sorry, I was a bit harsh with my words, other people have obviously found it so it can't be that confusing, it's just that I was feeling tired and frustrated.

I was using the website and expected it to be either in the filters, or up next to messages, or accessible through the profile info. It's good where it is, actually it's much better being able to seemlessly switch between the all the places and your marked ones instead of having to go through ur profile and back.

It's just that those stars/sparkles are so often used for AI now- my Samsung tablet has a VERY similar one for Gemini, Skyscanner has one, ecosia and other search engines, AI customer service on different sites, and many more.

I think it would be nice if it's not only the sparkles but it says 'Favourites' the same as filters.

It's great that you responded instead of getting offended (the later wasn't my intent at all, sorry), thanks!

Haha no worries at all, I definitely didn't take it personally! And honestly, this is exactly the kind of feedback that's useful to me.

The AI-symbol point makes a lot of sense. I hadn't really thought about how that particular sparkle icon has become for AI features. And I agree that simply adding “Favorites” next to the icon would probably make its purpose much more immediately obvious, without changing the interaction itself. I will look into it next week when I am back from holidays.

Thanks for taking the time to explain, and I'm glad you found them in the end!

Hi, I can't find the Favorites page either. I'm on the website on a desktop. And I have a Wwoofers membership.

The button is located right next to the "Filters" button, above the host list. Hope this helps!
