What's Trending: An app that flags hotels with bed bugs - Is this the new travel hack?

Would you use an app to check whether your hotel has bed bugs?

While it aims to help people avoid unpleasant stays, it's also raising questions about how reliable these reports are and whether hotels could unfairly suffer from unverified accusations.
