Meeting Guide

I’ve been using this app for a couple years and suggest it to others all the time. I’m disappointed in the location search in the latest version, however. In the current version I get multiple communities in my area — this is great. However — in the previous version, when looking for a meeting in another location and the name of a City, meetings for surrounding cities were included (i.e., an entry for Walnut Creek, CA included meetings in Concord, Pleasant Hill, Pinole, Orinda, and other cities covered by the Service Center for that area). In the latest version 3.0.28, the only hits returned are for the City input, so multiple city searches are required for meetings in surrounding communities. I don’t see a way to expand the search for +10 or 20 miles. This may not be an issue in some areas, but for many of us in multi-City areas it’s not always as easy.

Beautifully implemented app, faster and easier than my Central Office web meeting look-up that uses the same data. Perfect for, among other things, my shifts on the local hotline. Thank you (from Portland)! The folding chair icon is a bonus. It's exactly right (even though none of my current meetings use folding chairs <g>). Two suggestions for a 5th star, based on the things I immediately looked for and wasn't able to find (but recognize they might already be there): (1) a sort-by-distance option, and (2) a pick-list for available meeting lists; currently, it seems we have to guess ("Boston" got me meetings in southern NH).

I am always a bit frustrated whenever I’m looking for meetings outside NH, because Mass isn’t hooked up with Meeting Guide yet :(. There is NO other app out there as user-friendly as this one is. And only click on the “directions” tab automatically brings you to the navigation app of your choice? Rad. And the “roll the dice” option is fun, too. Times, type, favorites, distance based on town name or your precise location (your choice), etc. This app is perfection.

This is a nifty app that I found listed on a website that claims to service my District. However, to my knowledge, my District did not ask for this site to service us nor is it operated as a result of a need for our District’s meetings. The meeting information is not up to date as the app claims to be. That is most likely due to the source of the meeting information being inaccurately published by the VAPSC site. The site is also not affiliated with our Area. Therefore, the information listed here discussing the app’s daily and accurate meeting update process has been compromised as a result of this inaccurate sourcing. Publishing inaccurate meeting information from an outdated, uninformed source is actually a disservice to members seeking meeting dates and times.

App removed LGBT options showing no respect for their sober siblings who need LGBT meetings. Just because I don’t speak Spanish or need childcare doesn’t mean they shouldn’t be listed any less than it means that gay meetings shouldn’t be listed because straight people don’t need them. We are people who usually wouldn’t mix and yet the makers of this app seem to only respect a portion of those people and their needs. AA is for everyone and if a paper directory lists the different needs alongside the meetings so people can easily find a room that will help keep them sober then an app should do the same. If people have complained and don’t like it, they can avert their eyes. Our sobriety is more important than the ignorance of some users.
