Short answer: MeetNow is live on the web now at app.trymeetnow.com, starting in Malta, and you can use it on any phone through the browser today. The MeetNow iOS and Android apps are coming soon to the App Store and Google Play; they are not in either store yet, so there is no official store version to download. To hear when they arrive, join the waitlist on this site; the form asks which phone you use, iPhone or Android, so we know which version you need.
Because MeetNow is a mobile app for meeting people in person, the first thing many people ask is “where do I download it?”. This help page explains where things stand, how to use MeetNow on the web today, how the waitlist works, and how to avoid apps with similar names in the meantime.
Is the MeetNow iOS app out yet?
Not yet in the stores, but you can use MeetNow today: it is live on the web at app.trymeetnow.com and works in the browser on any phone. The MeetNow iOS app and the Android app are both in development and will be available from the official stores:
- iPhone: coming soon to the App Store.
- Android: coming soon to Google Play.
MeetNow is starting in Malta. We do not give store launch dates on this site; the best way to hear the moment the apps are available is the waitlist. MeetNow is free to use. For an overview of what the app does, see what MeetNow is and how it works.
How to join the MeetNow waitlist
- Go to the waitlist form on this site’s homepage.
- Enter your first name and email. These are the only required details.
- Add optional details if you like: your city, the types of plans you are interested in, and which phone you use, iPhone or Android.
- Tick the box to agree to receive the launch email. This tick box is required.
- Submit. We will email you when the MeetNow apps launch near you.
The form never asks for your phone number. For more detail, read our guide on how to join the MeetNow waitlist.
Avoiding look-alike apps before the MeetNow iOS launch
There are many apps with names that include “meet” or “now”. Until MeetNow is officially in the stores, keep these points in mind:
- If you find an app called MeetNow in a store before we announce the launch, it is not us. We will email everyone on the waitlist when the official app is available.
- Wait for the official announcement. When the MeetNow apps launch, we will say so on this site and email everyone on the waitlist.
- Check what the app does. MeetNow is plans, not profiles: hosts post plans at public places, say who pays and pick who joins. An app built around swiping profiles or dating is a different product.
- Never pay to “unlock” MeetNow. MeetNow is free.
A quick three-step check before installing anything that claims to be MeetNow:
- Check your inbox. Has the official launch email from the waitlist arrived? If not, the store apps have not launched.
- Check the description. Does it describe plans at public places, a who-pays option and hosts choosing who joins? If it describes swiping, matching or dating, it is a different app.
- Check the price. MeetNow is free. Anything asking you to pay to get started is not MeetNow.
If you are still unsure whether something you have seen is really MeetNow, the safest approach is to use MeetNow on the web at app.trymeetnow.com and wait for the launch email. Signing up for the waitlist costs nothing, takes a minute, and means you will hear about the official app directly from us rather than from a search result or an advert with a similar name.
What the app lets you do
On the web today, and on both iPhone and Android, MeetNow works the same way:
- Post a plan at a real public place, with the date, time, number of seats and who pays: host pays, split, pay your own or free.
- Ask to join a plan you like with a short note.
- Choose who joins if you are the host: accept or decline each request, and limit who can join by gender or age range if you want.
- Chat with your group once you are accepted, to sort out the details.
- Confirm “we met” after the plan, which builds each person’s track record.
Anyone can block a user. MeetNow does not handle payments or sell tickets: the plan states who pays, and people pay at the place as usual.
What you can do in the meantime
You do not need the store apps to start meeting people: open MeetNow on the web and post or join a plan today. While you wait for the apps:
- Learn how plans work. Read how to ask to join a plan and how hosting works, so you are ready on day one.
- Think about the plans you want. A weekly coffee, a padel game, a dinner for new faces? The waitlist form lets you tell us which plan types interest you.
- Understand how trust works. Our page on the MeetNow track record explains “we met” confirmations.
- Meet people anyway. Clubs, groups and community events on the island are a great start, and many of them combine well with plans later.
