Website meeting finder more useful for in-person UK users
Pros:
very simple UI and easy to use.
Online meeting finder is global, so great for finding a meeting any time of the day.
Cons:
Only able to filter in person meetings by time not distance.
News isn’t relevant to UK users.
AA-London.com website featured which isn’t regularly updated and often holds incorrect meeting info, in my experience.

What the heck?!
Downloaded your new update and now it only shows one meeting for each day of the week, and it’s the same meeting.
Great Resource - Irritating UI
This app is great for finding meetings but it can be quite frustrating to use - especially when theres no other quality options. I’ve included a list of my gripes below. Nothing too major, and definitely something that the devs could improve upon.
Gripes:
1.) The search results do not hold your place in the (sometimes quite long) list of meetings and require users to scroll all the way back down to where you were after clicking on a meeting and returning to the search results
2.) I would greatly appreciate a personal notes section for each meeting to write down important info about it. There are so many meetings, and it can be hard to keep track of them. I REALLY would like to be able to note travel time & directions or other things to remember about specific meetings. Especially since Im normally looking at the app trying to determine which is the most feasible to attend that day without getting frustrated looking up the same address over and over and over again.
3.) Results Sorting: Currently, the app only sorts results by time, when distance would be a great option to select. In reference to gripe #1, this would result in less irritated scrolling
4.) “Add to Calendar” function only works for your default phone calendar - no preferred app options. Additionally, it will add the meeting to whatever section of your calendar app you last used. This has lead to the app adding my AA meetings to my WORK calendar which is VISIBLE to my coworkers.
5.) “Get Directions” option: An option to select directions to the meeting the redirects to your selected preferred map app would save so much time and frustration if users could quickly see the travel time/options when searching for meetings.
Anyways, these are my thoughts. I would be incredibly grateful and happy to see these things improve.

Sorely in need of additional features
Why can’t I get the grapevine or AA approved literature here? Why can’t I donate to GSO here? Why doesn’t it have a sobriety counter?
I love AA. I support GSO. But it’s a disgrace how behind the times you guys are.

Wonderful
I love the Meeting Guide app! Simple open it and it will show you all of the meetings near you on the current day. Looking for a different place or day? That is easy to do. Whenever you need a meeting, this app helps you find it. It is a true ally for sober living.
So helpful but…
Could be done better on the locations and times. Pictures of places would be helpful. And details of what kind of meeting it is
Saves lives
Meeting makers make it
Life Saver
This app has given me the ability to go to a meeting at any time. It is invaluable for my sobriety. Can’t recommend highly enough!
This is generally a great app
Works great helped me get sober but has one major glitch if you set the location to Manhattan, New York using the location or if you set it using the ZIP Code, it shows you different results so like half the meetings won’t pop up if you show it by ZIP Code and then the other half won’t show up if you show up by location like current location. Please fix this.

Super helpful to find another great meeting
Staying sober day by day…this app helps each time I need it. Can’t recommend it enough for use by those new needing to find a meeting or those sober 24Hrs+ looking for something different or new.
Life saver
Doesn’t get better than this. If you have only one app on your iPhone, make it this one and save your life.
Payment information
I tried downloading this app, but couldn’t until I entered my payment information!!!!! Why does AA need my payment info.?
I feel happy
This is the time to utilize this application. No in app purchases . Just ask your home group or meeting to support AA World Services when doing a local support as well
Powerful
Never thought I’d find something that actually works for me. This really works. I never gave it a try now. I have AA all day every day no matter where I go saving my life. And my marriage.💪🏾💪🏾
App is the best
This is the best resource for finding meetings. Point blank. Period.
Wonderful App
Very useful to find meetings. When traveling I have been able to find meetings using this app. Thank you AA!
Great Tool!
Super handy tool for finding meetings. Information is always accurate in my experience.
Double check with your local council to see if there’s really a meeting
I walked to a meeting, couldn’t get in and after while the lady cleaning the building came out and asked me what I was doing there. I told her that I was there for the AA meeting. She said there hasn’t been a meeting there for five years. There is no way to contact support for the app and there was another girl there who said she really needed to go to a meeting. This is not in the spirit of AA. The lady who was there told me that people show up for the meeting several times a week and last week a guy had taken an Uber there. Some of the people going to meetings are hard up and in a sense leaving this meeting on the app is stealing.

Response from developer
Hi there. Having accurate up-to-date information in Meeting Guide is very important to all members of A.A. We'd appreciate it if you would report the details of the specific location in question to appsupport@aa.org so this can resolved for others in the future. If it's helpful you can also find local contacts for the specific meeting by tapping the meeting and scrolling to the bottom of the detail page, or by clicking the contact icon in the navigation bar at the bottom of the app.

This will not upload onto my iPhone 13 for some reason
