CHARGE TF out of you without giving you an advanced warning. GOOD LUCK meeting nothing but DUDES at these meetups anyway

Honestly a good app and I’ve found good community.
However, they gotta figure out how to get rid of all these weird spam job posts that keep cropping up advertising “Quick and easy cash!”
The app/Meet-Up does seem to shut the posts down pretty quickly but the notifications are annoying.

Every new version says “under the hood improvements” to make things run smoother. Nowhere does it say “moving previously free features behind a paywall” that will cost $4.99 a week to get back.
Improvements to your bottom line, maybe, but not improvements for the user.
Updated Jun 15, 2026: Bye bye Meetup. You took away functionality, then started hounding me for money to join. $9.99 per WEEK⁉️ Are you nuts! For ONE group that I belong to? Now I can’t RSVP without a donation or comment.
Here’s my comment… Account deleted. App deleted.

Do not try the free trial they’ll charge you anyway as soon as you start the trial
No more hounding!!! • Jun 12, 2026
Meetup was and remains a great concept for bringing together peeps with shared interests. New ownership/management is making a huge push to monetize users which is turning off many resulting in them moving to new platforms/venues. Meetup has now become much less active, less activities and less active users. Constant screens pushing monthly use fee also reduce app user experience. New “updates” have also decreased user experience. Keep it simple, shouldn’t be complicated (or expensive to maintain), think of what’s best for users. Craigslist is a great model to follow.

It seems like every other day I get a notification about a advertising position that is available to anybody. These spam notifications finally force me to leave.
Bellegetaways • Jun 11, 2026
After the last automatic update the app logged me out (on my iPad - it still works fine on my phone). And it won’t allow me to use my account credentials to log back in. Wanna know why? Because the damn keyboard isn’t there! I can’t type in my email address and password! Please fix this - it’s a stupid problem to have. Sidebar: $9.99 A WEEK or $40/$50 A MONTH is too much! What exactly is the value? You have to pay to see the people who’ve signed up for an event you’re attending? Bananas! I can’t see myself using this platform much longer.

Can’t use it, timing out and waiting for page

The money push on this app is insane. The amount of pop up adds and intentional misleading to pay for the plus membership makes this unusable.
Shan wall • Jun 9, 2026
Too expensive for what’s offered
JaneInCA • Jun 9, 2026
Please fix the app so it responds to the Per-App settings in Settings -> Accessibility. The font is too small and impossible to read for anyone over 45.
Patrickobrady • Jun 9, 2026
I remember the Meetup website and I thought it world be fun to try it again. I saw $9.99 a WEEK and I deleted the app before even trying it. I’d be in the fence at $9.99 a year. They’re so far removed from what the value is. They’re not in the same universe
What’s funny is that the last 20 or so reviews are all terrible but when you research the app the default is most relevant which only shows positive reviews.

I wanted to try and find some people to go hiking and backpacking with. From the first time I opened the app and to the point I uninstalled it, it seems every click has a popup wanting me to pay. Also, blocking the attendee list behind a paywall is a serious concern.

There’s been too many changes in the past year. Added the organizer app and then canceled it. Things are not working correctly in current app. We’ve been using the app for years and now it’s probably my time to look for a replacement. Very disappointed in the updates and changes made not for the better.
Dr Dimento • Jun 8, 2026
To participate as a member it’s free but to put in all your hard work to organize and administrate your group it’s EXPENSIVE monthly forever and they encourage you to spend more and more money by enticing you to add services that should already be included. Not a good app and someone will come along and blow them away. Anxiously waiting.
cbDejaVu • Jun 8, 2026
When I click the email link sent to my email I just get a message that says “verify_member_blocked”. The help/support is not of any help so while the app sounds like it might be good if it won’t let me signup it’s definitely a 1 ⭐️app at this point.
JKH 128 • Jun 8, 2026
Plus you have me listed twice with the same name and different photos. Please fix this issue.
There are no instructions on how to join a group
It’s like a club where everyone in it already knows how it works and if you don’t know how it works, then they don’t want you
