Horribly buggy. Terrible user interface. Search features don't work well. Poor experience with the actual usability of the app. On top of that most of the groups in my local area are inactive and most of the events are pyramid schemes or self help classes. Your mileage may vary in other areas, but the app itself is trash.

Practically useless these days. Events search (i.e. the main functionality) is entirely broken: events do not show up that definitely exist, events from the wrong city are shown, can't sort by date, the list of problems is endless. Such a shame, used to be a great app back in the day. I wouldn't mind the constant nagging to sign up for a premium account if the core functionality actually worked. Why should anyone pay for extras when you can't get the basics right?

The Meetup app is the best case example of the concept of enshittification. The company does everything they can to consistently make the app less user friendly and functional, constantly throwing up annoying subscription messages, hiding members' faces, and now doing things like replacing the immediately visible "going" info with totally unrelated "interested" info for people most of whom will never even join! And they do all this despite having a steady stream of payments! Truly disgusting.
