Ratings and reviews

Recent updates are major downgrades. The ability to manage events has been replaced with nags to get a separate app that is not wanted and didn't work when I tried it. It appears server side changes because switching to previous versions doesn't fix it. Also more junk has been added, stuff that's nice on a computer, but just wastes space on small devices. I don't think the problems of not being able to work without a connection to the server has been fixed. The mobile website works better.

The app is mostly great and I've been very successful using it to find groups of new friends when I moved, and to find people with similar interests & activities. I lowered my rating to 4 stars because of one annoying issue. When the app version changes, there's no notification for me to update it, but it always stops working in the same way: no event pages will load for me, it will just say "hmm, there's no one here". I finally figured out I needed to update it, and that fixes it each time.

This is the buggiest app I use on a regular basis. I often have to just give up trying to find/do whatever I opened the app for because it isn't functioning properly. Sometimes entire features randomly disappear. For example, its 1pm and I'm trying to find an event for today. The feature to select today as a parameter is missing. It does this regularly, but not all the time. In general, this app, and Meetup website as well, leave me wanting a better alternative for such a service.

What's new

We've made it easier to spot and RSVP to hybrid events, events that are both online and in-person on Meetup.
