Meeting Guide – Your Free AA Meeting Finder

What is Meeting Guide?

Meeting Guide is a free Android application created by Alcoholics Anonymous World Services, Inc. It provides a searchable directory of Alcoholics Anonymous meetings, both in‑person and online, drawn from the official AA service entities.

Main features

• Search by name or location – Enter a city, ZIP code, or meeting name to quickly locate nearby gatherings.
• Online meetings view – A dedicated tab shows virtual meetings, automatically adjusted to your device’s local time zone.
• Favorites – Tap the heart icon to save meetings you attend regularly for fast access.
• Filters and keyword search – Refine results by day, time, meeting type, language, or other criteria.
• Daily reflections – Short inspirational messages are offered each day within the app.

How it works

The app pulls meeting data from more than 500 AA service entities, including district and intergroup websites. Information is refreshed twice daily, ensuring that times, locations, and contact details remain current. When you perform a search, the app matches your query against the latest dataset and presents results in a clear list format.

Practical uses

• Locate a meeting when you’re traveling to a new city.
• Find virtual meetings that fit your schedule, especially when in‑person options are limited.
• Save favorite meetings to receive quick reminders and directions.
• Access contact information for meeting chairs or sponsors directly from the listing.

Installation information

Meeting Guide is available as a free download from the Google Play Store. Simply search for “Meeting Guide” or use the package name org.meetingguide to locate the app. After installation, you may grant location permission if you want the app to suggest meetings close to your current position.

Things to know before installing

• The app does not require a paid subscription; all features are free.
• Location data is optional and only used to improve meeting suggestions.

Who may find it useful?

Frequently asked questions

Do I need an internet connection to view meetings?

The app requires an internet connection to download the latest meeting list. Once loaded, you can view the results offline, but new searches will need connectivity.

Can I add my own meeting?

Meeting Guide displays information supplied by official AA service entities. Adding a new meeting must be done through the appropriate AA website or local group, after which the app will reflect the update during its next data refresh.

Is my personal data safe?

The app only requests location permission if you enable it. No other personal data is collected beyond what is necessary for the app’s core functionality.
