Meetup: Social Events & Groups 12+

Love this app, it gives you access to so many interesting clubs. The only thing I find annoying, is every now and again you have to sign in on your phone. I would think once it recognises a device that you are using it could be programmed to remember that as a safe device. Also on my recent attempts to get help with not being able to sign it, I found it very frustrating as I seemed to go around in circles and had to fill in all the required information several times on the same site and even then wasn't confident it was successful.

Once I was contacted by your representative I found the service worked smoothly.

But the most frustrating is the first issue I've mentioned.

The team behind Meetup never seem to do any testing before going live with updates with the result that important functions disappear or can’t be used. Today I turned up as the organiser of an event to find I could no longer mark attendees as ‘paid’, ‘didn’t go’, ‘no show’ or edit their guest numbers on the app. Working as normal on the web page version but broken on the app. Was working fine on Wednesday. This is the eighth issue in the last 18 months or so. Last month all my expenses data from before November 2019 disappeared (but not the income data!). This and other new technical issues with the money page that I reported were responded to with a ‘thanks for your suggestions’ ?????!!!!! Abysmal service to organisers paying a subscription.

And the robotic response I’ve just received confirms my review. Of course I have deleted and reinstalled the app - several times - to ensure I have the latest version. After being a subscriber for 7 years and living through the ongoing poor rollout of updates I don’t need that ‘advice’. And it is a waste of time sending through a fault report. It takes weeks sometimes for a response and then it is usually facile - like the last one ‘thanks for your suggestion’.

Meetup is a good concept, but unfortunatly, has a lot of flaws. There’s a disconnect between the functions on the phone and a PC or laptop. It doesn’t have a function to allow an event organiser to move people to a waitlist or a pending list. With every upgrade it becomes worse, with useful features being removed and new useless features being added. For example, you can't choose to advertise an event immediately (as in the past). If you leave the RSVP times as blank, then it automatically closes the RSVPs in a short time. It's not possible to edit properly in the new black organiser's app. Also event organisers are unable to see the past attendance history of attendees - which is important, so that we know who is reliable re attendance. I could write a hundred more problems, but it would be a waste of time because Meetup doesn't care and does nothing. All they care about is making people start more groups so they can get more money for an ever deteriorating service.
