What new feature would you like to see on Meetup, and why?

You've used all your votes and won't be able to post a new idea, but you can still search and comment on existing ideas.

There are two ways to get more votes:

  • When an admin closes an idea you've voted on, you'll get your votes back from that idea.
  • You can remove your votes from an open idea you support.
  • To see ideas you have already voted on, select the "My feedback" filter and select "My open ideas".

Enter your idea and we'll search to see if someone has already suggested it.

If a similar idea already exists, you can vote and comment on it.

If it doesn't exist, you can post your idea so others can vote on it.

    • Edit option missing from Tools drop down menu

      I am an assistant organizer of a group. I need to change some details of an event I setup. There is no edit option on the tools drop down menu. Why not? Why do I have to use a vote to report an obvious bug issue? Why do you make it soo difficult to report what should be a simple problem?

        • Allow sponsorships that have been offered but not accepted to be withdrawn.

          I offered a sponsorship to a meetup group but haven't had it accepted, but now I want to withdraw the offer as I can no longer afford to fulfill it. I can withdraw offers that have been accepted, but I can't withraw pending offers. Please allow me to do this.

          • Show more posted events on the main page - 5 events is not enough

            Our group has several events going every weekend and around the same time. Showing only 5 events does not allow everyone to see all events that are going on in the next 2 weeks. Also, have "featured" events dominate the page even further and crowd out all other events from showing. Please show more events on the main page. Recommend at least 10.

            • have a sort by cost search feature

              I find cool looking meetup groups all the time but when I read the details, the cost for the meetup is prohibitively expensive for me. I'd rather not see $20+ meetup groups.

              • sponsor placement reordering

                Provide a dynamic sponsor rotation based on page views. Also it would be nice to have a "move to top" button to allow a new sponsor to be promoted without clicking UP 20 times.

                • Make it easier to copy old events by providing us a list of all old events.

                  Organizers often copy events from previous years. With the current system, we have to click back on the calendar arrows month by month, which can take a significant amount of time just to get to the date our old event was posted. Can you find an easier way that we can navigate to old events, such as a browsable list, advanced search option, or even a way to jump from one year to the next more easily?

                  • Reward Meetup Organizers for their efforts to grow the system.

                    Meetup organizers should be rewarded financially for their efforts. Meetup depends on its organizers to bring more people into the system through our event coordination and marketing efforts. We provide valuable feedback on new features and on your business model. We provide Meetup the opportunity to market promotions to our members. However, we must pay a fee for all this and we get nothing in return. If Meetup wants to engage us more, it should provide us better promotions that reward the organizers financially for allowing its sponsore to reach out to our members. We built the brand for our…

                    • allow organizers to charge when/same time someone joins.

                      Charge when someone joins. I get lots of fake profiles in my closed group and I' m adding a small fee to reduce fakes.Right now I'm playing collections and having to kick people out if they don't pay. more work and silly

                      • place a reminder to go to or telephones prior to meet up date

                        many of us get involved in you name it.
                        To keep on top reminders send to our phones would be great specially if they came directly in to our phone calendar.

                          • Tell us how to open our discussions tab! It doesn't work in our South Sound Riders meetup page.

                            The discussions page does not open when I click on it. This has been going on for sometime now. It's very frustrating, there's no place to post if we cannot access the discussions.

                            • Change the time format in the meetup droid app to non-military time

                              The new Droid app only displays the time in the 24hr. format. There should be a way to switch that.
                              Also, there is no 'check in' option with the app

                              • Include Date of Event in Reminder Emails

                                We have recurring events on the same days of the week. Some respondents accidentally sign up for a future event when they really mean to sign up for an event occurring the next day or same day that the reminder is sent. Automatically putting the date in the reminder subject INSTEAD of putting "one week away" is much better, I think.

                                • I want to be able to see ALL Meetups in my city PLEASE!! And sort based on numbers, location, age!

                                  Please bring back the old search, I can't find anything this way, sometimes it's not about an interest or a keyword, sometimes it's about discovering something new you hadn't known about. The way it is now is super limiting!

                                    • Extend app check-in time.

                                      The iPhone app has a handy check-in feature, but after a set limit (1 hour I think) you can't check in any more. Our meetings last longer than current limit and I'd still like to say "I was there. I showed up" in that way.

                                      • PLEASE let us decide how many meetups we want to show on the homepage! We don't need to see FIVE!

                                        My meetups repeat weekly. FIVE (all exactly the same) meetups are shown on the homepage, making my members scroll more that half-way down the homepage to see posts. PLEASE let us choose how many meetups we wish to show on the homepage!

                                        • Make a sort of "wishlist" button for meetup groups we want to remember but can't join yet

                                          I am finding meetup groups that I really would love to join but I need to wait a few months to find the time to do it, and in addition I would like to observe them from the outside for a while to see what types of activities they do and decide whether or not its the right group for me. I would like a way to be able to bookmark them or put them in a wishlist so that I can remember the groups I've found.
