Well, you should be more transparent on our adds. When you market a free event on your website it does not mean that it is free. I take the example of the Life drawing. How on earth you market it free... See more

I love meetup but.... It is not like it use to be by no means. One big issue, is trolls pop into meetings. They masturbate, they show up nude or they just are in there to cause trouble. Many... See more

I'm an organizer. While it works, it's not the best. For example, when I had an iPhone, the app would time out 50% of the time, which made it pretty much useless. No problem on Android or the web... See more

Good for building a meetup community because everyone’s on there. Pretty awful for everything else considering the extortionate costs. Clearly don’t care about their customers at all. Aggressive marke... See more

Angela provides a safe place to learn and overcome what is holding you back.

Angela provides a safe place to share and connect with others. Her years of experience with her spiritual and healing techniques really helps you learn and identify the necessary changes to be made and the growth you have discovered in yourself. I highly recommend attending her events. If you are in a place of needed change to move past your past, hurts. Angela will help you start living the live you were meant to live. With purpose and alignment. Angela also host connection events and works to connect you with others who are in a place of growth and spiritual self worth.

Great games with nice people

A friendly group, great games, and awesome game masters, plus a cozy restaurant. It’s worth ordering something (drinks and/or food), because then you can play there for free all evening! They didn’t kick us out, even though we were the only guests recently.

Request for a refund

The team helped by reimbursing me for a service I had purchased by mistake and refunded my very quickly. I was very happy with the way they handled everything, bearing in mind it was my error.

Meetup Used to Be Good

Meetup was a great site for about 10 years and then at some point they got greedy, trying to limit features formerly free to behind a paywall, not to mention making it hardly impossibly for free members to use the site without constantly pestering them to sign up for a paid membership.
As a group owner of 10 years, some of the functions meetup threw behind a paywall made the site less than appealing to not only my current members, but potential new members. Even making some aspects of the site now less than safe.
I am actively seeking a suitable replacement.

Meetup is a tremendous resource

I've been on the platform since 2005. It has helped me to find groups across nine states through the years, even when just visiting an area for a short period. Meetup.com has been a tremendous partner in supporting my personal growth for over two decades.

Great way to find healthy, enlightening activities with other people

I appreciate this opportunity to find healthy ways to get together with other people. My priorities for social life are simple: I look for ways to be physically active or speak with intelligent people, while avoiding get-togethers where the purpose is drinking too much, eating too much, or sitting and watching other people engage in activities. Meetup.com gives me opportunities to meet active intelligent people. In fact, I travel the world and have used Meetup.com to find groups to join temporarily in other countries in the fields I am interested in.
