WikiFarm is outdated, the 88days app does only one thing — so I built 88mates to fix all of that
Been doing my research before arriving in Australia and honestly the information landscape is a mess.
WikiFarm hasn't been properly updated in years — some farms listed are closed, some regions are no longer eligible. The 88days app does the job for tracking but that's it, nothing else. Facebook groups are gold for real advice but you have to dig through years of posts to find anything useful. Government websites are accurate but impossible to navigate.
Every backpacker I've talked to uses 4-5 different tools just to manage one visa requirement.
So I built 88mates — updated map of all 209 eligible zones, 88 day tracker, seasonal job listings, backpacker community, checklist for the whole visa process. Free on the App Store.
Genuinely curious — what's your current system for managing the 88 days?
