    • iPad app

      The iPhone app is fantastically useful. I'd love to see it become a universal app for iPad too.

        • iPhone App Add to Calendar - put address in NOTES for 1 tap Google Map linking

          Instead of putting the meetup venue address only in the Location field of the CALENDAR when you click ADD TO CALENDAR feature, include the address in the NOTES.

          By doing this, the iPhone recognises the address in the NOTES field and converts it to a google maps search link, allowing ONE CLICK linking to maps rather than needing to remember or copy and paste the address between apps.

          Location then need only be the venue name or the town or city (or both!) without all the extra info.

            • Carpool Matching Program

              To help facilitate carpooling to meetup events, a program should be available where for each Meetup event, individuals can sign up to carpool as a driver and/or rider; with the day and time they plan to leave and return from the meetup event. This meetup could then match Meetup group members who are going to that event with each other to carpool to and from events. The system will match separately for each leg of the trip, for example I may ride to the event with one member but back home with another (depending upon when people have said they…

              • Improve the way emails link with the mobile app

                When Meetup sends emails that mention a new or existing group, I would love to be able to click on the email and have the group open in the iPhone app.

                For a new group notification, I have to search for group in the iPhone app.

                • Offer a mapping facility so users can show where they're travelling from to facilitate car sharing, etc

                  As a member of a fairly large walking group I travel to attend a meet to find that there are lots of other people there from a similar area. I suggest that once you have RSVP'd 'Yes' then you have the option to log where you are geographically (roughly obviously!) and then to state whether you are able to give other members a lift or if you are looking for a lift.
                  I know you can arrange via messages on the board but this would make things easier, more available to all members and also help reduce everyone's carbon footprint!…

                    We would like the option to display the waiting list in chronological order instead of alphabetical from the iPhone App. People on the wait list want to know how far they are from possibly being added to an event if somebody cancels.

                    • I'd like for Meetup to be linked with Foursquare, so when I check in a place where I'm attending a meetup on 4sq, it checks in on Meetup too

                      This is to avoid the many times we check in on Foursquare but forget to check in on Meetup. Either that or there needs to be a way we can check-in on past events, say until 24 hours after the event has closed or something to that effect.

                      • Add iphone photos to your meet.up event while it is happening or after

                        We find that the events get more future attendees IF we post photos of the event. Make it easy to take iphone photos and post them to the meetup event while it is going on or after.

                        • Change the default iPhone app calendar alert from 15 minutes

                          Currently when you add to iPhone calendar the default alert time is 15 mins, which pretty much always has to be changed. Allow an option in the app to choose the default alert time

                          • for android mobile app, give me the option to NOT use GPS. Let me punch in a zip code or no location data.

                            I'm not always in an area that has GPS service or I may not want your app tracking me. Your android app blocks me completely unless I let it have access to GPS. Not happening. I deinstalled app and won't re-install till I hear you've altered that.

                              • Passbook & Foursquare integration!

                                Would be nice to integrate Passbook into the app so that it becomes easier to flip open the passbook app to check in to the event. Integration with Foursquare and Uber would be super nice since can open up venues and check in directly to the Meet up.

                                • Allow multiple photos to be uploaded at once on a mobile device.

                                  Photo uploads on a mobile device (iPhone) is horribly broken. It requires too many clicks. Why can't I upload a bunch of photos quickly?
                                  Right now you have to do the following steps:
                                  - click on upload photo
                                  - click on camera roll
                                  - select photo
                                  - hit continue
                                  - hit upload

                                  So many clicks to upload 1 photo. Then rinse, lather, repeat.

                                    • Meetup map view

                                      When you log in to meetup dashboard (or another quick nav link), you should see a map view of meetups around you (since we have a feature for location for meetup). This will be a great way to visualize the meetups around me whether I'm looking for one or managing my own meetups (especially those that tend to have multiple locations). Mobile could also have a great map view of 'meetups around me' whether you always stay local or travel frequently.
                                      I'm just beginning to actually use meetup and you might already have this feature, if so I'd like to…

                                      • Make RSVP comments visible in app.

                                        Sometimes members indicate their yes/no is more of a "maybe" or post a question in their response. When I'm on the app, I can't see any comments in the yes/no responses.

                                        • make the push notifications for "New Comments or Photos" on Android useful

                                          Right now if you get a push alert for new comments or photos and there are multiple meetups that have them, you are taken to a list of your meetups with no indication of which meetups actually have the new comments or photos. I would suggest when you select a push notification about these that the app only display the meetups (past, present, and future) that actually contain the items. Right now, the push notification is useless since people aren't going to go through their meetups one by one to see which ones have new notifications/photos.
