## Review summary

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).
