Can I chat with anyone?

There is one stipulation concerning one-on-one chats: one of you has to have a premium account in order for the two of you to converse in private. Anyone can initiate a chat, regardless of whether or not a user has a premium membership. To keep on chatting with each other, at least one of the two users has to be subscribed to premium.

What does the star or "Add Favorite" mean?

You can favor other users and mark them with a star. You can invite your favorites to meetings, and you will also receive a notification when one of your favorites has created a meeting or joins another meeting. You can find the list of your own favorites under "Profile" --> "My favorites".
Under "Discover" you can see the users who have favored you (but this function is part of Premium).

How does a video get-together work?

Due to the current Corona pandemic, each group will automatically receive its own video call room where you can meet virtually. You can find the link to the videocall room in the description of the respective meeting and in the group chat. You can either participate with the free app Jitsi Meet or via your internet browser on your computer. You have the Jitsi App? Then the room will open for you as soon as you tap on the link. You want to participate via your PC? Just type the link into your internet browser. The virtual room will open for you as well. The video meetings are also completely free of charge, no additional registration on another platform is necessary. If you still have questions or are unsure, please feel free to contact us at any time ( support@meet5.de). And if something doesn't work, don't panic, the group chat is still there :)

How do I create a video get-together?

You create a video get-together the same way you create a regular Meet5 group get-together. Just tap "Create" in the meeting overview (Apple devices) or the small plus in the lower right corner (Android devices). You can add in the title of your meeting that it takes place virtually or online, but you don't have to. Each meeting automatically gets a video link anyway (in the description once the meeting is created as well as in the group chat that opens after creation). We have created "virtual locations" for you, which you can select as a location. However, since these had to be created manually for each individual city, these "virtual locations" are only available for larger cities. If you are not offered a virtual location as a place, just choose a restaurant in your city as a placeholder. It would only be important that you mention in the description that it is a video meeting, if it is not already directly obvious from the title.

Tips for a virtual meeting with Jitsi:

If you are unsure or something should not work, the following tips will definitely help you:

• Test the video link before the actual meeting - the virtual room is always open.

Why a get-together for two?

Actually, Meet5 is about getting to know each other in groups. Due to the current Corona pandemic, however, the app also offers the possibility of meeting in pairs for a short time. This does not mean that it is necessarily a date - that's why the "groups of two" are also visible to all members. For this purpose we have activated the function "Meeting by invitation only" for everyone!

How do I create a get-together?

Creating your own group meeting is easy, fast and fun! Create your dream meeting in just a few steps: Step 1: If you own an iOS device tap on "Create" in the upper right corner, if you use an Android device tap on the plus in the lower right corner. Step 2: Think of a title, if you like add some information about the meeting in the description and then choose your desired date and time. Step 3: Choose a location (you can choose any location within your radius - the search is linked to Google). Step 4:
Invite other users to your meeting. You also have the option to filter by interests and characteristics. Step 5: Go to your meeting, meet nice people and spend a great time together. If you have any questions, please feel free to write to support@meet5.de. Should something go wrong, don't worry, we will gladly change the meeting for you. The possibility to edit your own meeting is not yet available, but this function is planned.

Where do I find my invitations?

You have received an invitation? If you have an Android device, you can find all your invitations at "My Meetings". If you have an iOS device, you'll see your invitations at the top of the meeting overview.

How do I invite other users to a get-together?

To invite other users to a get-together simply tap on one of the free places or tap "More" in the top right corner and then tap "Invite users". You can now invite as many users as you want and even filter by name and interests. When you tap the plus icon, the user will automatically receive an invitation. A check mark will then appear instead of the plus icon. Or you tap on "Invite all suggestions" in this case some users will be invited randomly. The suggested users are located near you (your location or radius is decisive, not the place of the meeting). Alternatively you can invite only your favorites. All users, no matter if invited or not, are allowed to join all meetings as long as there are free places available. The only exception is a meeting "by invitation of the creator", in this case the creator of the meeting may decide who attends. However, any Meet5 member can request an invitation - just tap on one of the available seats.

Who will be invited if I choose "Invite all suggestions"?

You can invite users individually by tapping the little plus in the bottom right of the picture, by inviting your favorites, or by selecting "Invite all suggestions". "Invite all suggestions" means that some members will be invited randomly. You can tap this button multiple times - invitations from you will never go out twice. The members that are suggested to you are all located near the meeting. The selection is therefore based on the location of the meeting. So it can not happen that members are invited who live hundreds of kilometers away.

When will the group chat open?

The group chat will always open directly, even if only one person is participating. The group chat will also stay open even if one participant decides to leave the meeting, but it will close for the person that left.

Who sees my meeting?

Your meeting will be seen by all Meet5 members who are nearby or have set their location and radius to include the location of your meeting.

Where do get-togethers take place?

Feel free to choose any location in your city.

How can I sort the meetings?

You can sort the meetings either in the settings of your app or by clicking the sort icon in the meeting overview. The meetings can be sorted by two categories: By available seats and by date. With the next update it will also be possible to sort by distance and by newly created meetings.

Why are no meetings displayed?

Meet5 is mainly represented in the Rhein-Main area as well as in Munich, Hamburg, Berlin and Cologne. A little tip: If no meetings are shown in your area, expand your radius a little. The default radius is set to 10 km. Just tap on the location symbol in the top left-hand corner of the overview. The radius can be set to up to 100 km.

Will get-togethers still take place if there are less participants than potential seats?

Yes, even if not every seat is taken the get-togethers can take place. You can just talk to each other over the chat and determine wether you will meet up or not.

How can I leave a get-together or call in sick?

You can leave a meeting via the three dots in the corner of the meeting. But only until eight hours before the get-together starts. From 8 hours before the meeting, a reason is required, which is displayed to the other participants in the chat. When you have left the meeting, you automatically leave the group chat and can no longer access the messages. Nevertheless, it is important to be fair and try to actually come to promised meetings!

What happens if I don´t turn up?

Failing to comply with these regulations can and will result in your account being banned from our app for a duration of 48 hours. Regular or repeated short-term cancellation or unnotified and unexplained absence can lead to a long-term ban of your account.

How can I stay in touch with others after our get-together?

A group chat, with all the participants of said group, will open as well, allowing you to converse with other members.

Can I set up more than one group at a time?

Yes, you can organise multiple get-togethers at any given time. A meeting can be set up up to 45 days in advance.

How do I edit my meeting?

You can easily edit or correct your meeting. This is how it works:

1. Tap on "More" at the top and then "Edit group date". Only you as the creator can use this function.
2. Now the edit mode opens for you - it corresponds to the view you already know from creating a group date.
3. Just change what you want to change and confirm at the end with "save".
4. All participants will receive a notification that the meeting has been edited. You can also let them know in the group chat.

Where are the settings?

Tap on "Profile" and then on the small gear wheel.

What is the age filter?

You can set an age filter in the meeting overview and in the settings. Once the filter is activated, you can select an age range. The age filter affects the following: 1. you will only be shown meetings with at least one user of the specified age.
2. you will only receive invitations from users in this age range and you will only be able to invite users in this age range
3. you can only receive private messages from users within your specified age range. You can change or deactivate the age filter at any time.

How do I change my radius or location?

You will only be shown meetings that are within your radius. This can be adjusted flexibly. Just tap on the location symbol at the top of the meeting overview. The radius can be extended up to 100 km.

How do I unsubscribe from the e-mails?

Another important feature is that you will be able to open group dates with up to 12 people when having a premium account. Other perks are that you can find out who visited your profile, you will be able to be invisible by using Ghost Mode (hide your online status and you will not be shown as a profile visitor to other users) and create meetings "by invitation only" and decide who can attend your meeting. Plus: See the online status of other members and activate the golden club sticker for your profile.

Are our prices justified?

Our subscription fees depend on which package you decide to purchase; should you choose to subscribe to our Meet5 premium package for a duration of a year, you pay 12.50 € a month, which is significantly less than the fees other apps charge for similar services. If you take a look at our competitors, our fees begin to pale in comparison: Signing up for a "face-to-face" meeting will cost you around 16€ . Taking part in a meeting using Meet5 is absolutely free. Parship's somewhat exorbitant fees can be as high as 70€ a month- and most users meet less people in six months than Meet5 users do in a single week. Furthermore, Meet5 users spend around 20€ on a single outing. Considering that these events and opportunities wouldn't be there without Meet5, we figure that we deserve our fair share.

What does premium cost?

You can choose between three premium packages:

• 3-month package: 74.99 €

How do I cancel my premium subscription?

Premium subscriptions purchased through the Play Store or App Store must be canceled there as well. Unfortunately, we do not have access to your subscription and cannot cancel it for you.
