Why is this an app?
Why can't I use the airbnb website so that I can sit comfortably at a desk with a real mouse and keyboard and calendar?
On a PC, you can open new tabs easily to read reviews, look at maps, make itineraries, and comparison shop. This is torture on a phone, and as a result, people just don't perform as thorough a search on mobile.
Airbnb knows this because they have data on how many options we consider before making a reservation when we browse on phones vs. PCs.
With this app, they're trying to push us towards making a less informed decision by limiting our ability to research the options, which seems blatantly anti-consumer to me.
