As someone who has extensively traveled both in groups and solo, this looks like a hookup app. This is not something I would have used back when I was traveling. What I'm most interested in seeing while I'm traveling is a way to organize things with people who I may not see the next day to help do things like get commitments on time/place, shared costs, etc. Right now it's a spreadsheet, apps like Venmo, and luck if you want to plan something out with someone else who's also a traveler. Folks who live a nomadic lifestyle tend to be rather mercurial, so I know it's a tall order to expect technology to address the social issue of people flaking or not following through, but that's the biggest challenge of group activities with other travelers in my experience.
As for meeting individuals, I don't see the point of trying to specifically meet other travelers unless it's for hookups, and if that's your thing you can just stay at a hostel and hookup with random people, that's essentially what hostels are for. The only way this type of app makes sense other than hookups is if it's intended for groups to meet other groups and plan shared activities.
