About premium!
How long it takes to activate premium, I paid for premium but it’s not working, it’s stressing me out, I can’t talk to anyone still asking me to pay for premium when I have already paid for it.

Potentially Misleading Monetization - Lack of Clear Disclosure
This app may violate App Store transparency expectations.
Meet5 advertises itself as a platform to meet and connect with people, but it does not clearly disclose at signup that messaging requires a paid membership - specifically that at least one person must pay in order for conversations to continue.
This limitation only becomes apparent after users have created a profile and uploaded personal photos. Locking core functionality behind an undisclosed paywall is misleading and creates a bait-and-switch experience.
Apple’s App Store Review Guidelines emphasize clear disclosure of monetization and feature restrictions prior to user commitment. In this case, the app’s primary function - communication - is restricted without adequate upfront notice.
Users should be fully informed before sharing personal data or investing time. As it stands, the design prioritizes monetization over transparency and informed consent.
I strongly encourage prospective users to review the fine print carefully before signing up.

Hope gets better🫶🏻
Beyond the event visibility issues, messages are being removed, which makes communication with potential attendees nearly impossible. Because of this overall experience, I’ve already decided to delete my profile.
This level of restriction is not comparable to platforms like Meetup, where organizers can actually communicate, promote, and build community. Unfortunately, Meet5 did not offer that experience for me.
I’m sharing this honestly, as feedback. The platform has potential, but in its current state, it’s not organizer-friendly.

Chaotic and fake
You’ll meet a few people, but not likely the more attractive ones that seem to disappear from time to time, they sign up for a meet up, don’t communicate, and then don’t attend the event. Are they Meet5 bots? Who knows. Events are created mostly by Meet5, although others can create create them, the ones I went to 70% of others did not attend. I like that it was not a dating app, but in the end….it’s a dating app. unregistered and deleted.
Frustrating Start - Can’t Even Reply Without Paying
I signed up for this app hoping to meet new people, but within 10 minutes I received a chat from someone asking how I felt about the app and mentioning that other services cost $9.99. I thought it was strange how specific they were about the price of another app. This one may be cheaper, but I quickly learned I couldn’t even reply to the message without paying for a membership. It felt less like a genuine interaction and more like a push to upgrade. A free trial or a few complimentary chats would make a much better first impression. Instead, I ended up deleting my account.
Too expensive for premium
I tried I can try meetup for 9.99 a week that too is expensive but I can quit after a week
It’s okay
It would be better if it had more things for the LGBTQ community. I’m welcoming to meet all kinds of people and socialize, but it would be cool to get together with other gay men.
Subscriber problems
I subscribe 3 months and until now I can’t use it and also email the support no response, if i want to message someone it’s still showing like I’ve not subscribed. No one is replying my question. Please help me i suffer so hard to join it and you don’t want to solve it .
