User Reviews

Users largely report Meetups as a once-valuable platform for meeting people and running groups, but recent ownership changes have led to widespread issues. The most recurring complaints are steep and increasing fees, intrusive ads and prompts to subscribe, persistent bugs and crashes, unreliable search and discovery (wrong locations or missing events), and poor customer support (hard to reach, refunds/account access problems). Many reviews note that the app performs poorly on mobile, with UI glitches and a deteriorated organizer experience since changes. A few users still recall forming meaningful connections, but overall sentiment emphasizes frustration and dwindling value.

Pros

Great way to meet people and build community.
Long-term usefulness for organizers with established groups.
The platform's concept and potential value for events and groups.

Cons

High fees / paywall and subscription costs.
Bugs, glitches, crashes, and poor UI/navigation.
Excessive ads and intrusive prompts to subscribe.
Poor search/discovery reliability (location/venue data, missing events).
Poor customer support and account issues (hard to reach, refunds/account access problems).

Recent reviews

My event organizers and I have had a HORRIBLE experience with this app. It used to be good years ago but over the last six months, AI bots have been infiltrating groups and spamming messages about fake job opportunities. Two days ago, we had an AI bot/hacker infiltrate our group, remove our main organizer, and take over our group that we worked so hard to grow. Meetup customer support has done NOTHING to help, refusing to have a human being answer our calls and chooses to have AI respond to our complaints. For a $45 a month subscription, SAVE YOUR MONEY AND GO ELSEWHERE TO CREATE A GROUP. MEETUP WILL TAKE YOUR MONEY AND LET BOTS OVERRUN YOUR GROUPS. DO NOT DOWNLOAD THIS APP IF YOU DON’T WANT THE HEADACHE.
