11 Years of Friendship Maintained! In 2012, my friends and I graduated from high school and spread around the country for college. There are 8 of us and we have been best friends since middle school. Four years and 8 college degrees later, we have managed to stay as close as we ever were thanks to groupme. All of the new features added over the years has made it so easy for us to stay connected and enhance our friendship!

Love the app I would give it a five but I really struggled getting my new phone connected to my groups. it has been a lifesaver keeping is connected with Grandma and Grandpa who are living internationally for a year and a half. We love that we can share pictures, videos and conversations instantly anytime, anywhere across the globe.

Kiara Smith

Very useful I am enrolled in college and this app is good when communicating with classmates or group projects. Nice way to stay in touch with everyone without a hassel. Used it to send out information to my residents quickly. My residents benefited from it by starting friendships and getting to know everyone on their floor. Only con is that you always have that one person who is constantly sending irrelevant messages out in the group me. Yes you can mute it, but you wouldn't want to miss something Important.

It's my major form of communication Long time groupme user. Wish they continued with the emojii pack need more than adventure time. They need to improve with Allo on their heels, if Allo had a desktop interface I might be out. I still use groupme for everything though. Smooth interface love the calendar and gif search. Just beware what's on your heels

Tyrone Hurt

Android "update" They changed it so gifs don't run automatically or continue to run if someone else in the chat sent them. This is very annoying. Please return full functionality or give people the option too. Bandwidth and phone resources are things I have plenty of.

Shannon Proffitt

Great App Great app, lots of good uses. I really like it. My only hang up is that you can start a group and people receive their messages as text but once they download the app is no way to receive messages as text messages and if your not on wifi or out of data then the app is useless for the day (Unless I haven't figured out how to use it correctly)

Not a clean slate The biggest problem was installing the app and signing in for the first time to see that I already had contacts and saved conversations from the previous owner of my cell phone number. There was no way on the app or on Facebook app settings to remove all those people so I spent a long time blocking all the unfamiliar names and conversations. There still isn't a way to delete them. After doing all that, I became mostly satisfied with group messaging.

Emily Vogel September 21, 2016

It's a good way to group up and talk with friends or classmates. It constantly blows up my phone but that's not the app's fault rather the groups I'm in. Only thing that's weird is after you use the app, if you rather like getting messages through your default message system it won't let you switch back. You might but I haven't found a way yet

Alex Merrick September 21, 2016

Mostly a good app, but needs improvement It's got all the essentials for group but I'm disappointed that at a typical Microsoft fashion the big improvements aren't being made. 1. It needs and admin option and an option to transfer ownership of a group without emailing support and waiting 2 months. 2. Also the new event change where you click on it then click on 3 dots and then click on the event again is just unnecessary and needs to be one click. 3. When RSVP to an event plz get rid of gray text

Andy Barilla September 25, 2016

This Should Be More Well Known This is a great app not just because of the group messaging capabilites but because of the various ways you can use it. The app, the web, or SMS. Great for groups with a variety of types of phones or who might not be the best at paying their phone bills on time. Would like to have basic image sending to groups for those on SMS. At least an error message.

Skyla Chon September 26, 2016

some issues WILL NOT WORK, messages claim to have failed to sent then show up 20 times then when i check an hour later, its normal. also, new feature where you click on the message and it shows likes is ruining everything.

Natasha Hayes September 21, 2016

The new update Ok, I like the update other than the fact that for pretty much every group I'm in on GroupMe now takes forever to load & is lagging so super hard all the time now. Please fix this. This app used to be pretty cool.

Debbie McGuffin September 26, 2016

Love it!! I do wish I could edit my post. I left a letter off of a word, spell check didn't catch and I would've liked to make the change. Other than that this has proven to be a great app.

September 23, 2016

Works great for groups A great ap especially for group communication! Easy way to keep in touch in real time, only draw back, only pictures can be shared and not documents unless by links. Once you work around that it is easy peasy.

Chris Gewirtz September 27, 2016

Alright Not sure why everyone uses it, but it works fairly well, cept it doesn't save drafts of texts. Their homegrown emojis are a nice touch I guess *squirrel*.

Peter Schmitke September 26, 2016

Works, but laggy Works well and cool interface, but lags during messaging, not really instant messaging. Also loads messages that took longer to arrive and it's hard to follow the conversation when something from two minutes ago appears in the middle of a conversation

Daniel Kura September 25, 2016

Okay The App is just okay. It's as average as average gets. Holds nothing special or different from other social networks, and design isn't all that mesmerising. So it deserves three stars cause it does its job well and is a very simple app to use but overall doesn't deserve more.

Richard Charnock September 27, 2016

Great! Great, pretty much in everything it does besides it's refreshing mechanism. It doesn't keep up with notifications and adjust for them in real time very well. Other than that, it's one of my most used apps.

Ray Goodwin September 26, 2016

Group comms I work on a team who is spread out over a couple of islands. This keeps us all in touch and working together in real time - no waiting on emails here.

Jillion Merricle September 24, 2016

Fantastic for work!!! I'm so excited to use this for district group messages rather than my personal text messages because I & the other managers can mute this on our vacation weeks and check out the past messages at our leisure with out missing a thing!!! Thanks for simplifying group messaging!!!!

Richard K September 21, 2016

Really comes in handy Great way to stay in touch with a group. But I can't find any Christ centered emoticons. I cannot find a cross, praying hands or anything that expresses our purpose for existence.

Leona Amosah September 26, 2016

Need option to delete messages This app would be great if there were an option to delete messages/chats that are no longer in use. The option to just hide them does not clear off space on my phone.

cedric arizo September 23, 2016

Pictures not loading Specifically, a screenshot picture from a text that I tried to at first share with GroupMe, then I downloaded the picture and tried to upload into GroupMe. Both times failed, so I forwarded it via text message. Provide a reason and solution for this issue first before I change my rating.

Thanks for using GroupMe! #)

Veronica Daye September 24, 2016

Gotta do better. Been freezing up a lot lately and won't load pictures that people send me. Also would like to have a change subject option like iPhone users.

Joey McSpadden September 26, 2016

Give it a 2.5 instead of 3 Would like to be able to delete items if someone posts something inappropriate or degrading.

Dj Syla September 23, 2016

GM HAS BROKEN TODAY 23 SEP 16 : GMT Pictures dont load and messages are not coming through properly. Also i was invited to a group and doesnt show up

Miguel Asse September 23, 2016

App was great. Super fast AND speedy. Now my friends and I get locked out sometimes because the app is slow or won't send our messages.

Are you still seeing this issue on 5.0.4? If so, please email us at support@Groupme.zendesk.com

A Google User September 27, 2016

What happened? Some groups broke for all Android users and customer support won't respond to my request. Fb messenger, here I come.

Jacosta Parker September 25, 2016

AWESOME !!! I LOVE THIS APP This is so much better than just texting. It keeps everything right there. I use this app for work, church ministry, and family.

Her Majestie September 23, 2016

Constant failed messages My pictures send, but they do not load. -_- I could have a strong wifi connection and photos and regular message would fail to send. Please fix this.

Jesus Robledo September 26, 2016

A+ group texting This is the easiest and fastest way to chat by group text. If I'm cracking jokes with my friend group or trying to organize them into an event I use group me.

Shawn Quinn September 25, 2016

Group Me An incredibly convenient tool to network with classmates. Make sure to download the app to avoid running out of text messages

Aaron Moeckler September 20, 2016

Galaxy S6 Love groupme a lot and everything it does. Latest update makes it so my group messages don't show up, only individual ones. Please fix

Tamara Ricks September 22, 2016

Ricks It works great! Haven't had a problem yet. Lets see if the app holds up

Felicia James September 27, 2016

Need Multi Window This is a messaging app. There's no reason why we shouldn't be able to use this app in multi window view.

Thanks for the feedback #)

Ian Wilson September 23, 2016

Updated to 4.5 Once I updated to 4.5 my attachments became unviewable by others in my groups...plus I cant see any attachments that others have posted since the update.

Donald Welker September 22, 2016

Intrusive Popups Won't shut up about some idiotic emoji pack offer.

Kay Hof September 25, 2016

He he We r going to the Dentists and we have a beautiful raining here with the potatoes and thunder everything you need to know about the kindergarten children today till next year and I have some garlic power of the wedding cakes and protect you from the dentist with garlic bread and garlic powder in the mouth.

Jeff Welch September 26, 2016

Great Messaging App I love being able to like messages and mention people. The calendar feature is great as well. This is the stuff that you miss when you are forced to move back to iMessage with your friends. I wish there was a way to more effectively administrate groups so that you can prevent group members from adding and removing others.

LESLIE SOLOMON September 23, 2016

I hate o I just hate it. There should be a way to mute only certain users so I don't have to get a Damn notification everyone anyone anywhere says something on the app
