Deleting people should be easier. When you delete someone and think they gone , they're not. Even when someone is blocked. When I started my own groupme, that old link with some contacts show up on my new one. Why do they still show up, when I'm sending out greetings. It should be easier to click delete and they gone completely old contacts, so they're not lurking in the background. Make it easy to leave a group, groupme (exit group and no more connected links) nor connection contact unless you want to rejoin that specific group. Thanks👍

I have submitted a simple bug many times. But all I am done is asked foolish questions and solution rather team look into it. On Xiaomi phones, as soon as I install and login, no group or chat of mine shows. Unless someone tags me. To mates I show as added. Once I move to a custom rom like lineage and install group me everything appears. It sucks how the support helps.

Updated stock Moto z force on Verizon from Android 7.0 to 7.1.1. Login fails saying incorrect username or password. Log out of tablet and back into tablet multiple times to verify correct credentials. GroupMe will not let me log in on my phone after updating to 7.1.1. please fix and I will update my review

Josh Haberman

Current version doesn't allow you to sign into the app on the Moto Z DROID. Contacted GroupMe support and they said this is a know issue with my model that will be resolved in a future update. I will update my rating if/when this is fixed.

It is so easy to use and we used it for our team text and it works great you can have more than 10 on a msg unlike text. Only thing is I would like to know when someone posts something and I don't get notification. I do have it on. Not sure. Otherwise it's great!

Little Linda

Update.. 9-11, calendar events will not post again. 8-13-17 Update...Working correctly now. Thanks for fixing. :) I use this app all the time for our group motorcycle ministry... It's been awesome... but since the latest update, the calendar events are not working. I'm trying to set one up for this weekend but it will not post. I keep getting the red sign saying it will not go thru. Tried using Wi-Fi, mobile data etc. Will not go thru. Made sure all my phone settings were good and still nothing. Please tell me how to fix this problem. Thank you.

Great group messaging app. 2 problems. 1. Everyone you open a message the app opens to send emojis instead of going to the keyboard that's annoying. 2. One of the updates messed up being able to copy a link or phone number from one chat and past to the other.

Thierry Lerno September 4, 2017

I like the app. It allows our men's to stay connected and pray with each other during the week. 2 big issues I have with the app #1 it doesn’t give you a notice when a new message has arrived. I have to check the app constantly. When I don't I miss conversations #2 since I downloaded the app I no longer receive messages as texts. Text messages were better for me

Jason Jordan September 24, 2017

It's a fine app. I like the meme function. I have a few problems. It logs me off all the time and if I turn off my phone or will not automatically log back on. I miss out on group messages when I forget to re-log in.

Robert S September 1, 2017

EDIT: It's not okay. No improvements over the past 2yrs. It literally pretends I don't have any contacts starting with the letter 'D'. I cannot add people that I am in a chat with, both private chat and group chat, to another group because it denies their existence. Etc. Pretty fed up with this app. 1 star. ______ It's okay. It could be a lot better. Not enough improvements over the past 1.5 yrs.

Disconcerting.

It works for group messaging, but in comparison to other messaging apps, I find this one to be a bit heavy on process loads in comparison to other apps while using older phones. Great for sending multi-media (gifs, images) without needing them downloaded.

Robert Wright September 14, 2017

Liked this group messaging app up until the latest update. Now you dang thing won't login via Microsoft, Facebook, Google, or email. If you have a Motorola Z Force droid edition this app isn't going to work.

Tina Marie Smith September 6, 2017

We use this app for communication between coaches and runners for the schools cross country team. It works great, it does not bogg down your device and has nice features. I would recommend it for chat room platforms.

Elizabeth September 14, 2017

We use this app in nursing school with clinical groups. It makes it so easy to keep up with everything we have due with the help from each other. It lets us look after each other through all the stressful times.

Kimmie September 19, 2017

I can't seem to get my notifications turned on. I've requested help SEVERAL times and still it is not working right and I am getting my messages late. Think I am going to uninstall.

My friends and I use the app to create a chatroom where we share screen shots, and discuss strategy for a multi player global war game. It's absolutely become an essential part of our gaming and we have been using it now for the last 2 years! I would however, like to see the possibility of creating moderators, as our last group was sabotaged by a disgruntled player we removed from the room lol, he rejoined then kicked out everybody else in the group 😂😂so perhaps the creator can assign up to five moderators who are the only ones with the power to kick peeps from chat rooms. Thanks

Kimberly Griffin September 19, 2017

This is an interesting app but it could be more user friendly. It doesn't appear to be a quick process to make deletions. I don't have the time or interest to search the web for what should be straightforward

Nathaniel de Vries September 13, 2017

Settings can be difficult to navigate.. or just don't have tons of options in the settings in terms of group dynamics.. however it is super useful, and super easy to set up and use.. definitely using this app a lot

emma kayf August 31, 2017

Great app for planning group projects and gatherings. A good thing to use across all platforms since sometimes it can be difficult 5o group message between apples on androids other wise so this is my go to for everything

JustaMe_Al September 11, 2017

Great! Like using a chat room! Hated normal group texting--too confusing, and even more so for elderly people that just got used to texting one-on-one! :)

Melissa Eckstein August 30, 2017

I don't like how it doesn't always mark it "read". I think that's extremely important because I use it at my workplace. I tap on the message and it still does not say it's read or not. Even once someone has liked the message. It keeps glitching

MG Dalton September 3, 2017

decent for grouping friends into a cross-platform chat room! sorely needs proper read receipts to be a serviceable app though, they only seem to work sometimes in private messages and almost never in groups

Donn Richardson September 10, 2017

Love the app. Much better for group texting. Only thing is the poll option is that it doesn't show the individual votes to see who voted for what but would be a lot better if it could be a nfl football poll

thaddeus barncastle September 6, 2017

Pretty good for chatting with my friends. The image sharing system could use some work, as could the chat in and of itself. It can be a bit difficult to tell when one chat ends and another begins.

Seth H September 9, 2017

It would be nice if this app was up to date like iPhones. You can't even use different skin tone emojies. They are all white. I guess GroupMe is racist

Lily Fung September 20, 2017

Thank you for fixing the issue with the new update as promised. My college friends and I use Groupme to keep in touch and we love it, we've been using it for many many years and we hope to continue to do so without any snafus.

Antonio Karides September 22, 2017

Sometimes the app is really useful but other times it isn't. It crashes a lot even trying to load chats or post a photo. It also sometimes won't let me leave a chat or mute

Simon September 2, 2017

App is easy enough to use and messes get people, but with big group chats, I which it would. guide you to where all of your unread messages begin instead of automatically beginning from the bottom

Mike OBrien September 16, 2017

Wonderful, easy to use & works!! Only issue is not being able to delete individual/personal responses from the message list. This clogs up the main screen.

Lucy M September 21, 2017

Great app, only problem is that it keeps kicking off member if they don't text. Sometimes my members don't need to text because they got the information from the texts being sent. My members keep missing messages because they've been removed from the app BY the app. That part is frustrating.

Alexander Vargas September 25, 2017

The feature to reply and like while out of the app needs some more revisions because it fails to works every time I use it. Other than that it's a good app.

Anthony Biancardi August 31, 2017

The latest update made my phone incompatible according to support. What a great update, now I can't access my chats. It's been almost two weeks now.

Kyle Poole August 31, 2017

Great app for different types of phones, keeps you in the loop. It is just texting in an app, but it does control the clutter of your personal texting and whatever you use group me for.

Logan John September 16, 2017

I enjoy and use the app regularly. However, lately, the app has developed a bug in which the app crashes when I select the "share" button to receive a share link. Doesn't matter which group I'm in. Galaxy S6.

Robert Velilla September 25, 2017

It's a great messenger app that allows me too use it also on the desktop which is great. And the fact that you can choose to receive notifications from the group or not is a nice feature.

Antoine Fields September 24, 2017

I didn't use the app much and it was hacked randomly. Customer service ignored my emails.

Matthew Fry September 25, 2017

It just has a weird feeling to it... like its trying to mock cell phones too much and not be there own thing!! But loved it otherwise!!!

Daniel Simmons September 10, 2017

Useful in concept but the app kinda sucks. Opening a conversation crashes the app about half the time which means I have to rely on the app notifying me via text messages

David Cao September 4, 2017

Kinda useful for group communication. My main issue is that I cannot selectively have some groups notify through the app and some through SMS. This feature is necessary for me since I need to be notified of some group communication immediately, while some I can wait until later to look at.
