NA Meeting Search

I was hoping this would be helpful for quickly checking meeting schedules, but it just sends you to the NA website, where you have to jump through multiple hoops to find meetings near you, since it's the global NA website, not your local state/region's. I will admit, it is cool that it gives easy access to the JFT and SPAD readings, but so does my state's NA website, which also gives me an easy and intuitive way to find meetings in my area that contains more information about each meeting than what I could find on the global NA.org website, and shows local NA events near me, which the global NA.org website does not. I simply made a bookmark/shortcut for my state's NA website link and made my own "app," and I suggest everyone else do the same, it's a pretty simple process and you'll be glad you did :) I don't remember off the top of my head how to make a Safari shortcut for your home screen, and I don't know how it works at all if your default browser is Chrome or anything other than Safari, but Google will explain it better than I could anyway, lol. If the app is updated to where meetings can be found in the app without bringing you to an external website, I may redownload it, but for now, it is not very convenient or user-friendly. If I'm going to have to be redirected to an external site anyway, I might as well make a shortcut icon for my home screen that links directly to my state's NA website, as it lets me find the information I need more quickly, and gives me more information, period. Sadly, this app is a good example of "brilliant concept, but terrible execution." I say this not to be harsh, but because I think the idea of an official NA app is fantastic but this one needs improvement in order to be useful for more than just the daily readings, IMHO. Again, if the app is updated to give convenient meeting information within the app itself, I will likely redownload it and change my review, as I think the concept is great and the easy access to the daily JFT/SPAD readings is a pretty cool feature :)

When i fist got to the rooms, the app was so easy to select my area and gave me a drop down of meetings. Now it’s only showing me area meetings after redirecting to a terribly built website.

The new update ruined this app.

Only way you might find a meeting on this thing is if you’re high.

I really liked when I could find meetings in the app, but now it just directs me to my area na website, so there’s not any point in me using this dumb app. Most people are using this app to find meetings, not sure why they took away the most important feature. -50 aura

It used to be so easy to find a meeting within a certain radius, now it is hard to navigate or actually find a meeting.

I’m surprised to read that some folks have issues with this app because I love it! I open it and it has my clean time and that makes my day, every single day! And I read the JFT, SPAD, and can find a meeting - either in person or on Zoom - very easily. I’ve been using this app for years and have never had issues with it. I also love that I can “select all” of the text and click “speak” and it’ll be read to me. This is a 5-star app!!!

This app was my favorite and a staple in my recovery for YEARS! The version 12 update that stopped listing meetings ruined this app and made it unrecognizable from the resource I knew and loved. If NAWS and the WSC had anything to do with this YOU’RE KILLING ADDICTS!!!!

Why they took the meeting finder away is a mystery to me. If I wanted to open up na.org and use their terrible meeting search function I could do so without an app.

What happened to the meeting finder? Why did it change to something that doesn’t seem to work? Doesn’t make any sense…..
