Do I need an account?
No. Finding a midpoint and browsing venues works completely signed out. Signing in, with Apple or a one-time code sent to your email, only exists so saved meetups and badges sync across your devices.
Do I have to share my location?
Never. There's a button to centre the map on you if that's quicker, but typing a postcode or an area gets you the same result. The permission is optional and you can decline it at install and still use everything.
What counts as a location I can enter?
A full UK postcode, an outcode, a town or area, a station, or a landmark. Postcodes are looked up via postcodes.io; everything else resolves through your iPhone's built-in geocoder.
How does it work with more than two people?
MeetMiddle+ lets you add up to five locations to a single search. Rather than averaging blindly, it balances the group so that no one person is disproportionately far from the result.
Is my friend's postcode stored anywhere?
No. It's used to compute the midpoint and then let go. If you save the meetup, only a coarse area, roughly a kilometre across, is kept, never a full address.
When can I download it?
MeetMiddle is with Apple for review now. This page will get a download link the moment it's approved.
