Percentages are out of 19,140 reviews rated 4-5 stars, and 12,353 rated 1-3 stars that say what went wrong.
Unhappy reviews are rated 1–3 stars and say what went wrong (12,353 for Meetup). Happy reviews are rated 4–5 stars. One review can raise several topics. Typical app is the median across apps with 30 or more reviews in the same star range on the same store. More than most means at least 1.5 times the typical app; fewer than most means half or less.

Just downloaded the app
Unlike most apps on the phone when you are scrolling through the Meetup area there are tiny ads that are placed there. If you touch it even lightly, it starts taking you to that ad to load it. Be v...
Not very user friendly. The pricing is steep too.
These guys don’t let you just delete a group. It’s an absurd amount of money to try and get something going. Then when I try to cancel due to people just click-baiting the groups, they hold your profi...
I just found this to be more of a exclusive popularity contest of people that go to every single event ( lucky them) whom pay the exact same fee, as the people that can only attend, maybe. 3 events a ...
It’s gotten to the point where, if you scroll past an ad too slowly, it will pop out into your browser and open.
This used to be a very good app but has become very buggy since it was redesigned. Every time I use the back button, it kicks me out to the login screen. Because of the bug issues, it's also become im...
disappointed with this app. there are better apps elsewhere. the cost is not worth it.
Full of scammy/fake-looking events & AI. App itself also seems to have some paywalled content- haven't yet been here with the free version for long, but it seems like there will be stuff it'll block f...
Impossible to ad my location. I know I live in the middle of nowhere but even with location activated it sets me up in a town 40 miles away. Doesn't work with postcode either
This app is for creating event pages and waitlists/participant lists for those events. Who in their right mind is going to pay 10 euros a week for that? Outrageous idea.
They keep charging after you cancel within trial period.
Sucks! They will bombard you with pop ups to get the weekly subscription even after clicking free version only. I was unknowingly being charged for weeks! disappointed with how fast they are racing to...
Unable to deactivate free account query. Multiple attempts. Easy to sign into IMPOSSIBLE to Unsubscribe
one of the bestest app of 20226
Automatically added me to groups not interested in and one outside of my age range! Only found out it is an enforced weekly subscription after installing. Hence deleted account and removed app.
I cancelled my subscription (which offers literally no real benefits) in July and they kept charging me until October. I had to go through the process of cancelling my useless subscription multiple ti...
some features are loading kinda slow but over all is good
so disappointed to read these reviews. the app sounds like such a great idea to meet people with like interests but the app itself sounds like a nightmare! Guess I'll pass!
Won't allow smaller cities. Even using my phone GPS, it will force my location into a very large city almost 4 hours away. Useless, unfortunately, as it was ok back when I DID live in a big city
it’s great to look and see and lots of possibilities
They attempt to charge you exuberant amount of money for a subscription then when you click on something the wheel just turns and turns. I never loads. This use to be great. What happened.
-=update=- Meetup continues to cut free features from the app to add them back as premium subscription features. This used to be such a great app, so many groups have found other ways to organize 😔 ...
the search function doesn't work, giving a lot of unrelated groups and events. You have to navigate via the tabs which can be a frustrating user experience
it's much too expensive. Some of my friends threatened to quit Meetup and got a cheaper rate.
last time free. then long time no open this app. only to realize need to pay alr?
I'm trying to find in-person social events (hence the name MeetUp) and the only social events that pop up are online only? pff yea that's REAL HELPFUL RIGHT THERE
I used this app in it's early days and it was a fantastic tool to find mates but no under this pay wall I do not see much of the benefit
I have to answer like 50 questions just to hit a paywall
really slow loading. also nobody's using it. I live in a city with a ton of stuff to do in and around it, but there are literally 5 groups in my area. it would be cool if people were using it, but the...
What happened to you helps the next person decide. A line or two is fine.
