Updated to 1 star as it no longer works-can't connect using Google -since the android update. Really disappointing as I use groupme many times each day and can no longer coordinate with my team. Please fix asap!... Use for gaming, best of those I've tried. Add the ability to tag everyone in a group at once and it's 5* 👍

This is a great communication app, but I'm giving 3 stars because the Android version seems to lack features that I have on my iPad. I don't know if its because I'm on an older phone, but I can't change the theme from light to dark, and a friend's poll did not have a change vote option. Also, on my Galaxy S4 Mini, it keeps forgetting my login, so I have to keep logging in to the app.

Please, please, please change it so you can edit your own comment. If you use it for business like we do 1 simple spelling error or auto correct makes it tough to look professional. I would love to be able to edit my comment if I make a typo..or autocorrect takes over!

Would be good if we could use the calendar to create a schedule, as opposed to being so event focused as it is now. Every event I add to the calendar pollutes the group thread with a "are you coming" message. Just want to create a calendar that does notifications, don't need to know if people are coming.

I took a Spanish class that was assigned a group project and in order to complete the project we had to select an easy form of communication to use. One of my classmates suggested the GroupMe app and it worked great. It is verth easy to use. We were all able to communicate our plans with no trouble. However, although the app is a very good one. I wish it had more alerts and notifications, like whatsapp and my default phones text messaging system. I noticed when I used the GroupMe app I received messages, but most of the time I had no idea that they were even there. Other than that the app is a good choice for groups. Just be sure to check the app often so you don't miss out on any group communication. Over all Group me is a great app!

This app is so great. I have an Android and a ton of my friends have Apple phones so when we make a group chat we can't add or delete people with ease. GM is so awesome you can add anyone or take anyone out any time

I have a "Message failed to send" notification permanently on a group with my family.. suuuper annoying because it's a message I don't even care to send anymore. If this gets fixed I'll give 5 stars instead if 4 :)

groupme July 18, 2017

Hi! Sorry about that. If you tap on that failed notification it should give you the option to delete. If that doesn't work, try logging out and back in, that should clear out the notification #)

Hannah Pollard July 9, 2017

It is not transferring my contacts so I can even start! There are other friends who say it wont go past verifying your phone number.

Brittany Stackhouse July 10, 2017

Been using this app for about a year now, and I love it! The only real complaint I have is that notifications get turned off every once and a while sometimes. But other than that it's a great app. You can have multiple chats for different groups and it's super easy to use.

Nate Freeze July 8, 2017

Hello, I love your app, but unfortunatley I'm constantly on the lookout for a new group app because there are no options to delete old messages, edit posted messages, or hide when people leave or get removed from the group.. I use the Group Me app for buisness purposes and sometimes people get out of hand, off topic, or say something offensive. And I cant delete it and I cant delete my own messages. I would look into adding a way that the creator of the group can delete other members post. And members can delete or edit their own post. Thank you,

Jesse Anderson July 15, 2017

I have been using this app for the last year or so with the google sign in but with the latest update, I cannot get onto my account now. This is hopefully a bug that can be fixed soon I can make a better review of this app.

Josh B July 17, 2017

I love the app! But my friends phone (Sony Expheria) is no longer functional with this app. He contacted customer support and they said with recent patch updates his model of phone is incompatible. So essentially he has to wait until the next hot fix comes out but it just seems like a failure on testing the updates for the app

Robbin Hedgpeth July 10, 2017

I love that we can add just the people we want to talk to without others seeing it. It's a great way to keep in touch with everyone when you're at a theme park or just any outing when you split up and go in different directions.

Martin Davd-Oshea July 15, 2017

Would be nice if when you opened a group chat that it opened to the last message you read instead of always bringing you to the bottom of the convo. Super annoying having to scroll up 100 messages. WhatsApp has this feature.. Just saying

Cre8v xprsn July 12, 2017

Logging into this thing when I already have an account is tricky and annoying. The app itself however has given me no problem.

Kevin Nasto July 8, 2017

If I make like 3 or 4 polls in a group, the titles of the polls are all mixed up. For example the first poll will have the title of the third poll and the third poll will have the title of the fourth. When you open the poll it will be correct but this is incredibly confusing for someone trying to vote

Liza Templin July 19, 2017

It's been a good app for communicating with a group. However, the app froze once when I was using it and shut down. Ever since, it's given me an error message when I open the app. And I can't get rid of that message. It still works well. I just want to eliminate the message.

David Mitchell July 10, 2017

Overall great for communication. Wish I could leave old groups without the group being notified. No sense in having them send a message that I left a group that's been inactive for 2+ years

Francie GaL July 12, 2017

This is very handy app for communication with all my co-workers and management. But I am not real keen on how to delete conversations after they grow so numerous. needs a little more tutorial for me.

Braden Carlson July 22, 2017

Not the worst group messaging app ever, but could use improvement. Doesn't work very well if you have bad connectivity (like telegram does) and group administration is lacking (it would be nice to be able to limit who can add/remove users from a group, etc). It is also incredibly annoying when it auto-hyphenates words so that it can introduce its own line breaks

Giancarlo Simpson July 22, 2017

Love the app overall but it's needs to be more organized when it comes to finding files. If someone posts a link or a document, there should be a section where you can see it or find it easier. Even with images too. There should be an option to not only see the files,links, images, and media, but also search for them based on date.

Angelica Johnson July 15, 2017

I am upset about this app. I switched from a Galaxy S7 to the Edge8 & I get no notifications... I am missing out on my group chats. Everyone is having fun without me 😲😲😲😲

Monica Gillespie July 7, 2017

I'm not seeing documents created from groups I'm in. It's frustrating to be apart of a team conversation, and not see all the details. Then the coaches have to email me individually.

Thane G. P. July 18, 2017

It is a good tool for big groups with people who don't have Facebook. The only thing i wish they would add is video calling and just regular calling.

July 15, 2017

Perfect to keep up with the busy family spread over the country and the new grandson. Sorry in advance if this review causes every hipster and tweenager to abandon the platform.

Sam H July 10, 2017

Great app! Best group messaging app in the app store! Only things I don't like is that people who don't create a group chat can remove other people... Trolls get annoying sometimes...

Antonio McLemore July 12, 2017

Great App. I only wish we could submit live video with the messages. But, other than that. I love it, is use it to connect with my team. I oversee 20 a youth development program of a 250 students and I have 20 staff members I have to manage. This allows me to stay connected with them and lead my students as well.

Chris Lane July 20, 2017

IT department needed a group texting app in the event that the technician on the clock needed an answer to an issue that wasn't quite an emergency. This filled the spot so anyone who was available could provide a little feedback.

Camille Porter July 15, 2017

I use this app, not only for my Cheer Squad, but for my girlfriend mass text, LOVE it! We are able to set events, polls, and so much more!

Michelle H July 19, 2017

I use this app on the daily, but I'd like to see an update so it's more stable on Nougat. I get a crash warning at least 3x daily.

Jeff Kuiper July 11, 2017

It's the shizznit... I b using this app for clash of clan, and have an international clan that we rely on this app for war strategy, and this app neva let's us down👍👍gJ in my book

Zach Whaley July 17, 2017

Uploading pics is very flaky. The app also doesn't feel natural to use.

Rhiannon Dixon July 11, 2017

Groupme has saved my life on countless occasions. This app seriously defined my college experience and made communicating so much easier!

Wayne Griffin July 11, 2017

Easy to set up groups, but a nightmare if you switch your phone number. Almost impossible to change it.

Shaivya Gupta July 10, 2017

I used to talk to people in person before getting this app, but now I don't even know the faces of the people I talk to half the time. Just kidding, I never talked to people in person.

Stephen Chapman July 21, 2017

Unable to login to the app since I've updated to 7.1. decent but unsecured messaging service otherwise

Ramon Simpson July 22, 2017

We have been using this app for several years for our baseball team. The notifications and event functions make it easy to dispense information to all of the players and coaches. We even create our own polls to make things interesting.

July 17, 2017

This is a great app for getting groups on the same page. I especially like how a person can still receive message without having the app. It would be really cool, however, if this app added the ability to tell when someone has viewed the message, since people don't always like respond to messages. This would add peace of mind for the group leader. :)

Regina Cotman July 19, 2017

I really didn't know what to think when I first started using this app; but the last couple days communicating with my family I really love this app it's wonderful and everybody seemed to really enjoy talking with eachother. it's great I really would recommended for family and friends.
