Some reviews are touting an app that works seamlessly. Unfortunately, I have not found this to be so. The widget never opens the proper group. The app constantly has problems refreshing messages. I tried to end a group, and I got an error message. I tried to look at pictures in an old gallery, and I got an error message. I have tried rebooting the app, forcing it closed, restarting the phone... all without any luck to fix the issues.

3/28/2016 Using Android version. For some reason, I cannot create a group. Uninstalled, reinstalled, deleted cashe, data, etc. No change. I had to have someone else make the group and make me an admin. When I can make a group (rarely), I can't add anyone to it. Makes no sense. I've used it for years with very few problems. The new version is terrible and has ZERO support. Best of luck when using it. May or may not work. Even tried desktop view through browser. Nope, makes you use app.

This is a terrible app for large organizations, no end to end encryption, terrible link support, and syncing via computer is sometimes 30 minutes difference. not to mention the amount of information it tries to take from your phone for data collection (thanks Microsoft). If I was forced to use this id have gotten rid of it a long time ago.
