Can't find a way to send a message to meetup "help" to change the city I live in. Seriously, this should not be this difficult!
Worst thing that ever happened to meet up. It takes ages to do anything. And then it simply can't do others. I hate it.
Setting up a meetup group was easy. Paying was easy. After that, nothing was easy, and support was slow. On line help was dense. Very frustrating.
I was looking forward for a few months now to go to a meetup group in toronto its for a nightclub. She has a strict rule that if you dont show up 3 times your out of the group. Well it also said if you need to cancel and you cant come to the event you need to cancel before 48 hours or its one strike. I canceled 3 days before 48 hrs because i had an important family event i wasnt aware of. So i rsvped no. Instead of just letting it go because i followed her rules and canceled before 48 hrs she messages me, starting arguement. She said why am i canceling after i was asking her lots of questions about the event so i told her why and she didnt understand that in life things come up. She wasnt being fair because i did cancel when i was suppose too and she said im not welcome to her groups anymore. I told her as a host you should be patient and polite to your group members and help them out. She didnt care at all. Other groups i joined they are very friendly. Whats the point to have a meetup group if you cant respect members. I guess just because your a organizer it gives you a right to bully others. I reported her to meetup but i dont know what they can do about it. Im sure other people had that experience as well. She wasnt even respecting her own policy.so i quit her groups. I was suspicious of her because when i asked her questions about the event her answers were very short and she sounded annoyed. I wouldnt feel safe if i had to meetup with her. I didnt want to put her name up on public forum. People do need to watch out which groups they join. There are alot of dangerous people out there.
Anyone can easily join a resist site
Anyone can easily cancel their meetings
Anyone can easily leave the group.
In that order...
The pictures on the main screen is way too small. The app is totally frustrating. Bring back the prior app!
They have made it extremely difficult to cancel subscriptions. You are billed even after cancelling a subscription.
Can you say adulterous men preying on desperate women? Pretty much the purpose behind these groups. For loser only.
Yep, on February 13 they insulted half the country for absolutely no purpose. Great job guys! Clearly, only certain kinds of people are welcome.
Answer: All Meetup has now is a database of names and a reasonably efficient way of routing new members to your group. But the tools for organizers are wretched and, by design, have gotten worse. This is the only company I've ever seen that doesn't care what the application users, in particular the organizers, want and need. The list of bad changes is very long--and they don't give a damn. And to add insult to injury, they are inept at application development and coding. They pushed out what might be laughably called alpha code and then scrambled to fix issues, saying "it was a work in progress." A major software release should not be a work in progress. Without comment, they remove functionality. For instance, when asked why they removed the ability to post a note on the calendar, their answer was that "only 3% use the feature. So what--now only 3% are pissed? Leaving the feature cost them nothing. I evaluated software from Microsoft and others for a living. Meetup by far is the worst I have ever seen. The "show runners" should be fired and given bad recommendations. And when a competitor comes along that is competent and cares about its users, Meetup will disappear and we'll all celebrate. The organizers en masse don't just dislike the app, they dislike the folks responsible for the mess that Meetup has created.
