There is no reason why we lose our event if we don’t have all of the information available do ### 3/5 — This app is not working well! *2026-02-10, version 2026.01.23* My new members are not receiving my announcements or much of my communication either them. ### 2/5 — Some features are great, some features are terrible *2026-01-28, version 2025.09.16* When this app works, it works really well. Many features run smoothly while others are so bad, it’s almost unusable. Reusing old event cover photos from previous events can only go back to the last ten events. Before that, those photos are lost and cannot be downloaded nor saved from previous events. The issue of losing text and text repeating when writing an event description is gone but that issue lasted on the organizer app FOR A YEAR! Don’t even get me started on the location mapping and GPS. UNUSABLE! The location map cannot find several addresses, it makes it extremely difficult to add new addresses (you have to wait until the app cannot find any results for what you are typing), it is constantly finding incorrect addresses when you type the full name or the full address (street, number, city, state, and zip code), and whenever you get the chance to save a new address, the app forgets it for all future new events and you have to type the full address all over again EVERY DAMN TIME! ### 3/5 — It has been very difficult or impossible to contact with meet up customer service *2025-11-22, version 2025.09.16* There have been some issues, I sent a few emails, no one ever replies. ### 1/5 — Checkin doesn’t work *2025-11-21, version 2025.09.16* Just tried it last week for an event. It forgot every person I checked in, so I had to resort to paper. Checking in itself was also not intuitive. Why not just add (working) check-ins to the one app? Will not use again. ### 1/5 — App performance poor etc *2025-11-19, version 2025.09.16* The Meetup app and website is not user-friendly at all. Most of the useful functions have been disabled and a lot of new useless features added (at a cost), which only make it more difficult for an organiser to use. It is mainly a money-making venture in my opinion. ### 3/5 — Somehow both better and worse than the browser app *2025-10-31, version 2025.09.16* Managing a single event is cleaner in this app. Everything else is trash. It’s not even possible to upgrade my account from my phone. Come on meetup I’m trying to give you money. The apps “subscription” page shows what you have but you cannot change it. And their website currently will not allow you to log in from a browser. There are only sign up pages. If you copy the utl of the login page from a desktop then when you submit your credentials it wants to open the app. ### 3/5 — Difficult to set country location *2025-10-30, version 2025.09.16* Setting America, USA, or United States as the country is not possible, so I couldn’t enter complete location in the suggested space. ### 1/5 — Unusable. *2025-10-18, version 2025.09.16* This app has had bugs for years which make it nearly impossible to edit events. The development team seems to be completely out of touch with the reality of the users of the app, despite releasing updates every now and then. I’ll stick to using the web. ### 3/5 — Difficult to use *2025-10-07, version 2025.09.16* The app is difficult to use. It takes several attempts to do anything. It’s especially hard to put in locations because the suggested items are not necessarily where I want to go, and it does not easily allow for me to put in the exact addresses of the venues. ### 1/5 — Organising an event *2025-10-03, version 2025.09.16* Everything has been changed. Not easy to find drafts now. Was better before. ### 4/5 — The dates do not always line up for the different time zones *2025-09-27, version 2025.09.16* Could be better ### 2/5 — Keeps on crashing *2025-09-06, version 2025.5.20* I had to retype the event multiple times coz the app crashes. I’m using an iPhone 16 pro max it’s not the phone, it’s the app ### 1/5 — Worse app ever *2025-09-05, version 2025.5.20* There’s no reason for an app to be this bad in 2025. It gets everything wrong to the point you have to log in to the website on a laptop to correct everything. delete this trash from the Apple Store. ### 1/5 — Annoying *2025-08-29, version 2025.5.20* Why create a new app for me to figure out to use when I’m in a rush? ### 2/5 — Spelling *2025-08-20, version 2025.5.20* It is disturbing to have words finished automatically. I often end up having the last few letters getting repeated. I also want to know how I can change the gender preference. It shows: for women but I accept all genders with no preference. ### 1/5 — Always says “Network Error” *2025-08-12, version 2025.5.20* This app has stopped working for me. I have full coverage and wifi. All other apps are working fine. Meetup app is working fine. I am an organizer and I’m left with no option but leave this platform. ### 3/5 — Old way *2025-07-23, version 2025.5.20* I liked not needing to use a separate app. ### 1/5 — Zero support only once your money *2025-07-20, version 2025.5.20* I’ll tell you exactly what’s gonna happen you’re gonna try to save money by signing up for multiple months. Nobody’s gonna come to your Events that RSVP through their website. They offer you zero support and treat you terribly when you try to say anything about refunds. I made the unfortunate mistake of doing six months paid in full. Never again. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Riddled with bugs *2026-04-13, version 2026.03.06* This app has been plagued with countless bugs for years. It feels like a beta version that was never tested before release, and improvements to its functionality never come. Functionality is bare minimum. Would never recommend. ### 1/5 — Bad *2026-02-19, version 2026.02.09* Who is gonna pay 9 dollars a week for this. MAKE A SETTING SO IT QUITS ASKING ME TOO JOIN MEETUP PLUS EVERY TIME. Come on man. I’ve about had it with you clowns. ### 1/5 — Waste of space, unreliable *2026-02-18, version 2026.02.09* The separate app for organizers is not a proper app. Much of what it does is done by opening your browser and passing credentials across. The phone recognises that you are accessing meetup via browser and suggests you open the regular Meetup app. Ridiculous! Was much better when the organiser functionality was in the regular app. Everything in one place! ### 1/5 — No Auto Save Features *2026-02-16, version 2026.02.09* I just spent the last 45 minutes writing all of the details of an event using the mobile app, and through one easy swipe in the wrong direction, the entire draft disappeared! I clicked into drafts to see if it automatically saved and was immediately let down to discover there is no auto save feature. 😵‍💫🤯 ### 1/5 — Some issues *2026-02-15, version 2026.02.09* I can’t leave my organizer role 2 groups that are defunct. I still pay for them. Also it’s hard to get to my groups from the home page. Where it says “your groups “ it only shows the groups you belong to, not organize. These are problems, especially the dropping of a group once hosted. ### 1/5 — Awful to use *2026-01-18, version 2025.09.16* A nightmare to use. Clunky, glitchy, awful ### 1/5 — It used to be easy to use *2026-01-05, version 2025.09.16* Now it is so much more difficult and complicated and frustrating ### 1/5 — Nothing works *2026-01-04, version 2025.09.16* Your AI interferes and overrides why I have typed for location and time of day; then support does nothing to fix it per my request. No more Meetup for me ### 1/5 — Difficult *2025-12-29, version 2025.09.16* I’ve been a hiking guide with Meetup for 12 years now, leading over 2000 hikes and Meetup.com is getting harder to work with. They’re taking more fees out of my pocket and unless I pay still more they take away even more resources. With every passing week it is even more frustrating and impossible to work with Meetup.com!!!!!!!!!!! I am so on the verge of closing down with them! ### 1/5 — Absolutely rubbish *2025-11-28, version 2025.09.16* A truly rubbish app and confusing subscriptions as organiser. Had a group & subscribed but when renewing via Apple, Meet-up say it does not renew organiser status. Create one good app before having another! Will be requesting refund. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Great fun to meet wonderful professionals on 3rd Sundays 1pm each month! Eastern time Thanks!!! *2025-06-21, version 2025.5.20* Chris ### 5/5 — Network Error *2025-05-21, version 2025.4.18* The app has been experiencing login issues and a network error. ### 5/5 — Easy to create events *2025-05-15, version 2025.4.18* So easy, it can be done on the iPhone on the fly! No reason not to do it! ### 5/5 — Fee *2025-01-23, version 2025.1.17* I enjoy using Meetup app to meet new people and make new friendsBut I don’t like that we have to pay to use this app, the organizer, paying a service fee every month is plenty enough. ### 5/5 — Creating community for French speakers *2025-01-20, version 2025.1.17* I just wanted to say that I am enjoying this experience as an organizer! ### 5/5 — Looking up events *2025-01-11, version 2024.12.24* I wish we could be able to look up events by typing the name of the event a word from the event. It would be a lot easier when posting it again instead of scrolling over and over through the mini past events. ### 5/5 — Great App to Meet People *2024-10-19* Ive used Meetup for about 8yrs. In that time, i have joined communities, formed new interests, made good friends, and generally had a great time attending all sorts of events. Join; tell your friends, and change your life. ### 5/5 — Belmont Toastmasters *2024-06-05* A local club keen to help you with the Confidence to speak to a group. All volunteers who help everyone in the group. Recommended. ### 5/5 — Experience *2024-03-25, version 2024.3.15* So far this has been a positive experience for me. I have met some beautiful, inspiring women since I started organizing these walks. ### 5/5 — Why not keep functionality in one place? *2023-11-01, version 2023.10.13* All things considered I really like the meetup app, but now I’ve had to download a second app if I want to move someone from waitlist to attending. Please just let me keep it simple. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
