GroupMe for Negative User Reviews
✓ Hacked?? No longer trusting the appHey GroupMe - what’s up with the pop-ups I’m getting asking for my date of birth or I can no longer use the app? I checked it out on the web and found that it was required for security to make sure I was 18 or older so I entered it. Then I received a “GroupMe Support” message and pop up saying I was selected for being a loyal user to receive an iPad. I was curious and tapped the link because it was within an app I trusted and wanted to see if it was legit. It said I won and asked for name and address and then to check the box agreeing to the terms and conditions which were not given in a link there. I had to scroll way down to find a tiny link. When you read the terms and conditions, they plan to charge you $19 immediately and then after 7 days, another $87 for 30 days and that they have full access to use your account information. I think I need to close my GroupMe account and take our group elsewhere..Version: 5.50.2
✓ Will not allow me to log inI’ve been using group me a number of years. It no longer lets me log in. Once logging in, it goes back to the log in page rather than the app opening. App is up to date. Phone up to date. Have even tried logging in on browser..Version: 5.53.3
✓ No safeguards to protect kids from predatorsBe aware that there is a button on the bottom of group me that allows you to browse and join public groups. There are all kinds of groups including groups with inappropriate content for kids. Also be aware that if you, or a child/teenager joins one of these groups, you/they are visible to everyone in that group and you can now be direct messaged by members of that group. This happened to my son and he was direct messaged by complete strangers (supposedly women) who started asking him for personal info, like what he likes to do and where he lived. I contacted Group Me to see if there were any parental controls to control what groups children can join and they said there are none. It does not matter what protective/content settings you have on the phone. The Group Me App is not subject to those settings. It is backdoor access straight to your kid. It is unconscionable that Group Me has no way to protect kids from viewing inappropriate content and to protect them from predators..Version: 6.113
✓ What?It’s for 4+ and I’m twelve so I put my age in and it deleted my account. And it said I’m not eligible for one what ???.Version: 5.21.0
✓ Joining Groupme appI tried to create an account… enter all my details,,, at last stage enter my phone to be verified… but never received any pin after many attempts!!!! I gave up .. because I couldn’t get the app ?.Version: 6.72
✓ Modern WarGame is full of lags and often don’t get rewards as you should do.Version: 5.43.1
✓ I can’t add peopleI can’t add people I have sent invites but none of my friends and family have seen them come through please help me!!.Version: 5.36.0
✓ Why is there so many scams on this app?I am not sure if someone's account got hijacked or not, but one morning I received a message from GroupMe Support that said "Hello! We sent you a FREE iPhone 11 Pro; Congratulations! Claim now." I've read up online that this is clearly a scam much like the other I received a few months back from a random person. This could be someone impersonating GroupMe's support by going under their name and using their profile picture, but something needs to be done about it. This scam has costed some people their personal and bank information because there is no way of them knowing if this is official or not when a scam disguises itself to make it look more official, but I recommend that you all increase the security and single out any bots or impersonators. I even got a random message from a bot account that wanted to share me "inappropriate photos" on a link, seriously? I am not sure how these people even opening conversations with me as I haven't shared my profile and I don't have them added on my social media profile. It's a bit annoying to know that you don't have actual privacy from these circumstances other than to block the user. I hope the app's security is majorly enforced to prevent scams like this from going around on it..Version: 5.36.1
✓ Not working anymoreWas a fantastic app. Several days ago it logged me out and won’t let me back in. I’ve sent emails but the fixes they suggested I had already done and told them I did them. We use this for work. I’m not the only one in my workplace that is having this problem..Version: 5.52.1
✓ Awful performance issuesI am always disappointed when I am forced to re-download GroupMe for other people. It’s performance while not on WiFi is absolutely abysmal. I often receive messages in my notifications bar from other group members. Then when I navigate to the group chat the messages, they are not there. I try to memorize the message in the notification bar if it is short enough to understand how to reply. Sometimes it takes up a few minutes for them to display In the chat. I can sometimes get it to show faster if I try to force a refresh. This lag has resulted in me not only missing messages but also leaving people behind on trips. I use telegram, signal, iMessage, discord, WhatsApp, and messenger. None of them have the performance issues that GroupMe does while on cell service. I don’t understand why this app is so highly rated when it has such critical issues on a modern iPhone. If GroupMe’s user base wasn’t so large I wouldn’t have to keep downloading it..Version: 5.20.0
✓ Changes neededIt would be appreciated if when an iPad is turned around the screen did also. Ability to download longer video clips would be good. Also need to be able to add comments to a thread..Version: 5.8.0
✓ BugsI’ve always used group me and am happy with it, however, I have had a lot of trouble adding people to the groups. In big group chats that have been around a long time, people do not want to leave the group me or create a new one usually because there are good memories in the group. On multiple occasions I have been unable to add someone back to a group, either because they have left in the past or because they were removed. I have experienced this issue as an admin and a normal user in a group, and if it happens to one person, nobody in the group has the ability to add that person back. If that person is a vital member of the group, the entire group chat gallery and messages are lost because we have to create a new one. This has happened enough times for me to write a review about it. I am unhappy that our previous groups’ memories have been lost and become inactive and wish I was able to start the old chats again by adding the previous members back..Version: 5.31.0
✓ Glitch Control to Major Tom!I have used GMe extensively for several years for many applications, especially small, social group scheduling. I ceased use for the last 8 months since the pandemic. Just started using it again and finding numerous glitches in the schedule forum. For example, when typing the location, there are dots in the left corner, but when typing text, you can’t see the letters unless typing a very long name. When dropping down from the location line to enter a physical address, it will not allow the ability to enter a street address. Then when entering a description, if you type out a longer description, but then make a mistake, you have to delete any text filling your typo by using backspace. You cannot just move the cursor to the mistake and edit. Like I said, these are all new issues. I’ve never experienced this before. It seems that GMe has gone the way of the neglect of a larger parent organization buying out a great platform and then ruining it by assuming it can run on auto-pilot, leaving behind the hard work that the startup company invested to make it great..Version: 5.45.6
✓ THIS IS A WARNING. DO NOT USE THIS APP.I’ve been using GroupMe for years, only because I have no other choice. This app is non-functional. It is incompetently designed and frustrating to use. Up until recently you could not delete messages, and even now you can’t even edit them to fix typos. It’s ability to connect to a device is pathetic, regardless of how strong your wifi or cellular data is. You can’t share videos that are more than 15 seconds long, and gifs only work half the time. It regularly glitches out. When you post a photo set, it shuffles the order of your photos. And, when you try to look through photo sets, when you get to the end of one, if you keep scrolling it will take you through the previous set in BACKWARDS. ORDER. When you try to scroll FORWARD. How asinine is that?! And almost always, if you post a large photo set, and you’ve spent 20 minutes trying to comb through to find the perfect ones to fit within the post limit (10), after you hit send, they will simply not show up in the app, and you have to try again multiple times. These are only a sampling of the problems with this app. This app is BROKEN. DO NOT DOWNLOAD IT IF YOU HAVE ANY OTHER CHOICE..Version: 5.54.2
✓ Glitch with Notifications :\Personally, I think this app is pretty good. However, the thing that has been driving me absolutely NUTS is that when I open the app to read the newest messages, it doesn’t update afterwards that I read them, so when I exit the app it still shows that I have those same number of unread messages. I’ve tried clicking on each message on the thread and scrolling all the way up through every message to see if either of those things would fix it, but unfortunately it hasn’t done a thing to fix it. Been SO tempted to just delete the app to get rid of the notifications showing up as unread after I have for sure read them. Please find a way to fix this glitch soon! It is driving me absolutely INSANE!! I really want to enjoy this app, but it’s been so hard to with that glaring glitch constantly showing up. 😞 Please fix this!.Version: 5.35.0
✓ Great idea but some. tweaks neededI like this app and use it but it is a bit clunky in execution and the instructions not clear to me. I would like a more straightforward way of operating rather than commands. I can't work out how to delete a group I created and have no idea where or how to send commands. Otherwise I like it..Version: 4.2.4
✓ Still terribleOk so now I can ad captions to images again. Thank you. It is extremely clunky to do so, it seems I have to use the meme button to get back from making a caption. Please re-release version 4. I will pay money for it..Version: 5.0.7
✓ I’m sorry but what?!I CANT DELETE IR OPEN THE APP I CAN ONLY OPEN IT FROM THE APP STORE ITS A WASTE IF MY STORAGE BECAUSE I CANT DELETE IT! IM VERY DISAPPOINTED AND UPSET BECAUSE I NEED STORAGE This app is totally SH*T!.Version: 5.35.1
✓ Terrible!!!I should be able to bookmark messages or delete them. This is just so bad.Version: 5.55.2
✓ Keeps crashingKeeps crashing in this version..Version: 5.54.0
✓ Great idea, bad executionI’ve been using group me for several years now, and it’s honestly been more annoying than helpful as the years go on. I am aware that these are pretty minor things, but it’s the little stuff that makes the whole experience way smoother. First off, you can’t delete any groups once they’ve gone past their usefulness (ie. the event it was created for has happened). As someone who can’t stand clutter because it makes it hard to find what I need, that’s really irritating. The old group chat just sits there, uselessly, and very much in the way. Second, if you get a notification for a group me message and click on it to read the message (cause it’s faster and that’s what everyone does), then the notification badge never goes away until you get another message, go to the home screen, and click on the app itself. Thirdly, adding people is a hassle because you can’t tell what will add them to the group. Sometimes it’s an email, sometimes it’s a phone number, sometimes I wanna tear something apart because of how frustrating it can get. Again, I know these are really small things, but honestly making the app even just a bit more user friendly will go a long way. I really don’t enjoy feeling like I have told hold a seance and commune with the group me ghosts just so I can figure out how to work the app..Version: 5.91
✓ Can't message anyone.Only one person appears in the list. Everyone has to have this app to message them so it's useless. I just want to replace the message app with a better app that I can send text via sms or internet. If I want to message people and have chats I'll use Facebook messenger.Version: 5.2.6
✓ HorribleGlitches every week. Group me constantly logs me out and when I re enter my credentials, it won’t load to log me and and closes the app..Version: 5.57.1
✓ Works well, but......that Add Location bar is taking up way too much valuable real estate on the screen. Is there really no way to remove it or even just hide it? 3 stars now, but give me back some of my screen and we're in serious business!.Version: 3.0.2
✓ This app is full of crap.Okay. I use groupme for one reason: it doesn’t require every member in a group chat to have group chat abilities on their device. That being said, it’s a load of crap. I hate it. If someone hasn’t responded, for one, they may not be getting the messages. Second, if *I* set up this group chat, and put these people on it, that means I have their contact information, so if they don’t want to be on it anymore, LET US TAKE CARE OF IT. IT IS NOT FOR THE APP TO DECIDE WHETHER THESE PEOPLE ACTUALLY WANT TO BE A PART OF THE GROUP. Some people are also content to receive the messages and not reply. It’s a thing, believe it or not. Let the members of the group chat deal in their own affairs, and stop making assumptions, especially TWO SECONDS after I just deleted someone and put them back on FOR THE SOLE PURPOSE OF ALLOWING THEM TO SEE THE NOTIFICATIONS AGAIN!!! Honestly! Either cut that out or at least make it easier for someone to discontinue the discontinuation of notifications. This is an awful app and y’all whoever designed this piece of crap needs to get it fixed..Version: 5.17.1
✓ Errors ALWAYSThe amount of times I try and add or remove someone from the groups and I get a “failed to remove” message or “failed to add” is bananas. App is soooo glitchy these last 5 months.Version: 5.55.2
✓ Update still buggyStops writing if you delete, use caps lock or auto fill a full stop. Needed more testing before release!.Version: 4.3
✓ Way too slow and buggyDespite having a new up to date device and iOS software, with each and every update this app gets slower and slower to the point it’s almost not worth using..Version: 6.41
✓ Constant issues with loginLogs me out of my account once every one to two months and doesn’t allow me to log back in. Always says there’s an issue and the support team does nothing to help..Version: 5.56.0
✓ HorribleKeeps logging me out and when I try to log back in it just spins forever and would not let me back in.Version: 5.56.0
✓ BugDepuis quelque semaine beaucoup de bug dans l’application.Version: 6.81
✓ Doesn’t workNeeded this app for a new job. Spent a month going back and forward with their support team because my account is completely uncontactable (whenever people tried to send me a message it would tell them I didn’t have the app and send me a text with a link to download the app; which, when clicked on, would redirect to the app I already had downloaded and logged in). The only assistance support could give me was just variations of ‘delete the app and reinstall it’, ‘delete your account and remake it’, and ‘use a different device’ (all of which I tried more than once). Multiple times they took over a week to reply, finally replied on a Friday afternoon, and then sent two follow up e-mails over the weekend saying that because I wasn’t responding they would close my support case; even if I assume that there’s a time zone difference that allowed that period of time to include a business day for them, expecting a response so quickly after taking ten days to send me another email telling me to reinstall the app again is ridiculous. I was willing to accept that the issue might be on my side at first and followed their instructions, but after I did so and there was no change I expected someone to actually look into the cause and not just keep sending me the same troubleshooting techniques I had already tried. The company that hired me were super patient and understanding considering they hired me for an immediate start, but as all of their work gets sent through GroupMe (job that requires travel, location/hours are sent to the GroupMe chat for staff to opt in/out of depending on their location and availability) I wasn’t able to pick up any work for them. Essentially, the terrible tech support for this app lost me a job that I very much needed, and I still have no idea why I was unable to make a functioning account. In trying to solve the problem with a friend we found that I could create an account with their details on my device that worked perfectly, but they couldn’t make an account with my details on their device that could receive messages, so for whatever reason it seems like my personal details were the problem, despite the fact that I could use them to initially sign up and received verification text messages and emails to the contact details provided. I’m sure this app is great for the people it works for, but unfortunately it has been completely unusable for me..Version: 5.51.3
✓ Notifications bugsNotifications bugs are getting worst. Even tho messages are all read the notifications badges don’t go away..Version: 5.55.2
✓ Good for groups if people replyWe use GroupMe for a neighborhood chat to keep people informed. When people like or reply to messages everything works great. One really annoying feature of the app is if people stop replying or liking other people’s messages, it stops sending the group messages to the individual. They are still shown in the members of the group but they are no longer receiving messages or notifications. It would be awesome if people could continue receiving messages even if they didn’t reply or like others comments. Another annoying thing about the app is you’ll get messages that say they are from GroupMe support saying you’ve won an iPhone or whatever. They are total spam. I wish GroupMe would prevent those types of messages being sent to people inside their app. Overall the app is good. These are just my frustrations with the app..Version: 5.49.1
✓ STUPIDI want to log on to the full site to try and change my display name once and for all as each time I get added to a new group (for gaming purposes) my real name is displayed. I only have an ipad and every time I log on to the full site it redirects me to this bloody useless app. Why, why, why do apps have to be a crap, inferior, cut down version of the real deal? If I wanted to use the app, I would bloody log in to it, I don't need help redirecting. THANKS!!!!!.Version: 5.0.5
✓ App doesn’t load at all anymoreThis app used to be okay. It never could load videos but ever since the last update nothing loads.Version: 6.81
✓ Fix the login bug!Ever since the newest update I haven’t been able to login to my account without getting kicked right back out..Version: 5.52.1
✓ A good platformA good app. Had a few issues with friends adding me to the group. The notification feature seems unpredictable if using the app across iOS devices. Also, it's too easy for anyone in the group to mute all phone alerts. If this issues are fixed then it gets a higher rating!.Version: 4.0.2
✓ Update: surely not, Aprils fool joke early perhaps?GroupMe; I have been using this app now for some considerable time and having used a number of similar apps, considered it the best of the bunch. However; that all changed just two days ago. The reason? I downloaded the latest update. I find it hard to believe that a company can attempt to improve an app and yet degrade it so much. Was no research done. After a great deal of thinking I finally came up with one improvement. It lists new messages. That's it. I can't even begin to list the failings of this app, I just wouldn't know where to start. Please tell me that this is an April Fools joke, and that you got your dates wrong! Failing that, would you please bring the old app back, as I believe that this update is beyond fixing. I will give this app one star purely because it once was the best. But I am being extremely generous One disgruntled user..Version: 5.0
✓ Won’t let me see any messages or add anyoneThe app won’t let me add anyone or won’t let me see any messages that I’ve been sent.Version: 5.35.0
✓ The worstFix the bug already. Logging in doesn’t work..Version: 5.53.0
✓ FailedDoesn’t recognise my number to send me a PIN. Rubbish..Version: 6.62
✓ App is broken!I’d give this app less than one star if I could. Every couple of days, I’m unable to log in and it says there’s an error. Mysteriously then after a few days, it will work before it happens again. Completely unreliable as a messaging service..Version: 5.56.1
✓ PointlessEvery other messaging service = make group + add members, not group me though, just refuses to let members join groups because it “failed” … really helpful message. Overly complicated platform for minimal features, only using it because it’s the only software a system I use will communicate with, once other platforms are supported this will be dropped ..Version: 5.54.2
✓ BadCan’t login for awhile now fix it.Version: 5.55.2
✓ It’s not getting any betterMake it more like Discord. And before you tell me to just go use Discord, I already do, but literally no one else in my family or community does, so I’m stuck on GroupMe for all the family and friend stuff like outings and parties and whatnot. Let us edit a message, or even delete a message we sent. What good is it to just hide the message on only my device? Another thing I want is to be able to delete a one-on-one chat with someone. That’s all. I don’t want to “hide” it. I don’t want to “clear” it. I want to straight up delete it. It obviously wouldn’t delete it from their device, just mine. And then what would happen if they messaged me again? Oh it would behave like every other messaging app ever made and just create a new chat with the person on my device. And then when we were done chatting, I could delete it again, just like that. I don’t feel like I’m asking too much, but then again I’m no developer, so maybe I am. Maybe deleting stuff is near impossible. Apple somehow figured it out. I can delete any conversation I want from iMessage. But then they are known for their “it just works” way of doing things. You guys should ask them how they do it. Send them a kind, humble email asking them how in the world they figured out how to delete a one-on-one chat in iMessage. Please, do it for me..Version: 5.32.0
✓ Good but could be betterProblems with trying to add people to chats but other than that it's a fantastic app.Version: 5.12.0
✓ Painful registeringMy partner created an account and sent me a group invite so I followed the procedure and decided to use my Apple ID to register. Other options were with a Microsoft account or Google. So after 2 days in a loop I eventually created an account but the invite was expired despite receiving an email reminder 1 hour ago from this app. Deleted, deleted and deleted email. Life is too short for this..Version: 5.47.0
✓ Direct message failDirect messages are not showing up!!! i’m the leader of an organizational I get a lot of direct messages,Until now I hadn’t been receiving them. I tried to figure out what the problem was, but this morning I woke up with a notification. It was a direct message, and when I clicked on it and I went into group me, it didn’t take me to the direct message. I refreshed group me went out of the app came back in restarted my phone, tried everything, and I couldn’t get to that message. Thankfully I remembered who sent it, and I went into a group and found their profile and clicked direct message, and when I clicked direct message-their message finally came up. so I did that with some other groups, and some other people in those groups, and realized I had a bunch of unread direct messages that groupme wasn’t showing me. and I can possibly do that with all the groups, because there’s just too many people, and I know that I have unread messages and it’s really really frustrating and there seems to be no way to fix it.Version: 5.49.1
✓ GifsCan’t send a Gif since the new update on iOS always problems. And when ask get told to connect Microsoft. Very poor.Version: 5.19.0
✓ Constant unwanted spamThis app is very Inefficient. The Group App control features does not allow to delete unwanted groups or spam messages. Instead, it gives a feature to “hide it”. There’s another selection it gives to block the message. However, it is useless if it is suppose to “Block” unwanted iM’s. You would think if there’s a “Block” selection It would work like a spam blocker that blocks unwanted messages from an ad or sender. To be honest, I don’t know or understand what it is blocking. I continue to get spammed with unwanted ads that I won stuff and weird messages from people that’s not in my contacts that I cannot delete or block. This app needs a huge reconfiguration. I don’t even want to talk about the time consuming process It takes to block or hide each message. There should be a feature to select multiple group messages that allows the person to actually delete the messages from the app. Also, a “Block” selection that literally does it’s purpose..Version: 5.48.0
✓ Navigating Help is TerribleI received an email that my account was changed over to another email, which was not done by me. I clicked on the link provided to indicate that this is an issue, and their “help page” does not have any link specific to the issue. Still trying to solve the problem, I emailed their support email with a quick little blurb about what’s going on and a screenshot of the email I received from them. My email got sent back for being too large, although it had less than a paragraph and one normal sized screenshot image. This experience has been excessively complicated and my problem is not resolved. I am now sitting with concern about having some random person accessing my account. Upon redownloading the app, it is only allowing me to create a new account rather than having any option to log in with a previously made account. I’ve had to spend way more time and energy than is necessary, and still have not been able to get through the process. I’m a 22 year old college student, so I’m fairly competent with technology, but this is ridiculous..Version: 5.15.1
✓ Needs a fixWas great but now I can’t do anything with it as it keeps kicking me out I’ve tried deleting/reinstalling /updating/logging out. no use disappointed.Version: 5.52.1
✓ Always logging you off after a month and unable to log back in5x I have to create new email bcos after a month it logged me out and unable to log back in and keep saying something went wrong and please try again, but you can never log back in..Version: 5.57.1
✓ Fix itCan’t log in.. time to use another app..Version: 5.52.1
✓ Won’t let me sign inWhen I try to sign in it won’t let me, it just keeps being me back to the login page. It will ask me to verify my account and once it do it brings me back to the login page..Version: 5.53.3
✓ No groupsI can't find groups, I can just create ones.Version: 5.55.2
✓ App qualityHad the app freeze on me a number of times but last week it was stuck on the loading screen and I couldn’t used my phone for hours. I couldn’t even hard reset my iPhone. I was trying everything and accidentally hit my lock button 5 times, which calls the police. The call went thru but since I could not leave the loading screen and use my phone I couldn’t hang up and had to explain to them what happened. They sent people over to my house at midnight to check on us and my parents had no idea what was going on and I had to calm them down and get us back to sleep before we woke up at 4am the next day to catch a flight for vacation. Didn’t have a phone for some of the vacation until I was finally able to hard reset. I love talking to my friends on this application but I have had multiple problems with the quality. This past time was the worst it’s ever gotten and I just got a brand new phone so it can’t be that..Version: 5.36.0
✓ UnhappyUnfortunately, everyone uses GroupMe instead of Telegram or the Band App for school and church (large groups of ppl). So, I have a bunch of groups and one thing I absolutely hate is: 1. I can’t post more than 3 pics at a time (I have the iPhone 14 Pro). If I do 5 it freezes and crashes. The photos keep spinning and never post and I can’t delete it or stop it or retry. It just spins. I can’t even post video clips into the chat. 2. The calendars can’t repeat so if you’re group meets weekly or does something monthly, you have to create a new calendar each time. 3. Admin should be able to adjust RSVP in calendars. For example, if I sent a calendar event to 35 people and I know one person is in the ER and can’t RSVP I should be able to change her rsvp to No. It’s easier to visually see and manage events. I have provided feedback several times and no changes. The Band app you could do this. Overall, group me has so many things it could improve on. On the positive, I do like the topics that they launch where you can categorize the conversation..Version: 6.111
✓ Group me not workingI automatically logged out then when I tried to log in I can’t log in I changed my password but still there I can’t log in…I badly need this for my work hope it will fix my account ASAP..Version: 5.52.1
✓ Unable to log in!!The app logged me out and now won’t let me log in….tried multiple times, deleted and reinstalled it and nothing!!! Garbage…so frustrating!!.Version: 5.52.1
✓ App crashes after loginMy app crashes back to login screen as i log in Tell me the solution I am from pakistan.Version: 5.57.1
✓ Recent updateWas automatically logged in and used this app for a while. Now I am kicked out upon logging in rendering the app useless..Version: 5.52.1
✓ Can you fix this already?Haven’t been able to log in for over a month. Login, see the messages, and immediately get kicked back to the login screen. How has this not been fixed yet?.Version: 5.52.1
✓ New messages aren’t obviousI really want to love this app for all the topics within a group but I cannot get over how tricky it is to figure out where to find the new messages! So I get a ding and a badge on the app when a new message comes in but then… I go to the app and open the group it came from and…. None of the topics are bolded or tagged in any way to show where the new message is located. So I end up tapping on several topic conversations and scrolling around to find it. Sometimes when I’m in a conversation the new message loads a few seconds after opening that conversation, sometimes the conversation says couldn’t load new messages, retry? I’ve tried all the steps in the support section- adjusting notification settings in app and in Iphone Settings, logging out, deleting and redownloading the app, updating the app…Please fix this ASAP!.Version: 6.41
✓ MeeshI can’t get past the Microsoft terms ? Where do u even accept this?.Version: 6.113
✓ Excellent appDoes everything it says and more. Highly recommend..Version: 5.2.3
✓ REPLY FEATURE NEEDEDWe use this app frequently enough however I think that with the option to view votes would be useful. The app is still not 100%.Version: 5.43.3
✓ FreezesThis apps doesn’t work right. It freezes and then I can not type in windows. Then it takes along time to load. Not sure what’s going on I have deleted and reinstalled and everything. Nothing helps.Version: 5.83
✓ New userGreat way to send free messages. Not the easiest to use, but it's fee to download.Version: 3.3.1
✓ RuinedHave loved using this app for a number of years. Great way for us to share stats for our fantasy football league and has a nice desktop web app too. BUT ... every time they release an update they add a host of new bugs. This latest update makes the group pretty unusable. Messages don't load unless you exit the group and go back in, viewing images sends you back about 6 weeks in the chat thread. It's totally unusable, not fit for purpose and we have decided to take our business elsewhere..Version: 5.6.1
✓ BugAfter the new update....Now i cant share videos on my iPhone 6 plus...!!.Version: 5.13.0
✓ Image qualityGreat app all round except image quality which is absolutely horrendous... I'm continually asked to provide feed back of which is ignored. I can't see why the people at groupme are dragging their feet on this....Version: 5.2.3
✓ It’s okOk frustrating that you have to manually scroll to find old messages that takes forever, to the point u give up as its laggy and takes forever for the app to load old messages!.Version: 5.15.1
✓ Keeps on logging me in and logging me outNot working! Please fix the glitch!.Version: 5.52.1
✓ Worst app ever.I was added to a group.me group. I don’t even have an account! It started texting messages. I had over 200 messages in one day. Garbage..Version: 5.57.2
✓ Messages do not sendI keep getting the message that “message failed to send”. I have reinstalled, restarted my phone, and created a new account and this has not resolved it.Version: 5.55.2
✓ Needs some updates.I have been using group me for over 2 years and it is pretty good, except when you try to watch a video it glitches then takes a long tome then it finally lets you. Also i will see that i get a new group me message and it won’t let me view it. The main reason i am writing this review is because of how group me logs you out. i have been logged out multiple times and it is very hard to get back into your account. It logged you out and you can’t get back in. it won’t let me try to type in my email or password. I have been trying for almost and hour and can’t get back in. i am very disappointed because there is some very important information i need to see and i can’t get to. GroupMe please fix this problem. My group me is hacked and i need to get in please group me fixed this problem!!!! i am very mad and i need to get in my group me and stop sending me ads that i won something! please group me stop doing this and fix my account!!.Version: 5.49.1
✓ Messages Not Showing. Edit. Edit againI haven’t had a problem with this until today, but today I got message notifications for a group and could see the messages. But after a while, I was getting notifications but not seeing them when I opened the app. The time stamp shows the time of the most recent message (that I can’t see) in the group. Other than this, I have had no problems and enjoy the app. Edit: I deleted then re-logged into the app, and now I cannot see any of the messages in that group. However, I can still click on the group info and see the images, group members, etc. Also, other group messages and individual chats are unaffected by this. I would really appreciate it if this issue could be resolved soon. Thank you! Edit again: after this update, nothing happened. I still cannot see any messages in the one group (still other groups/messages seem to be unaffected). I get notifications for the group and can click on them, but it brings me to the “group chat” where it says no one has sent anything yet, even though I have gotten notifications. There have been some images sent and I can see those if I click on the button that lets you see all the images others have sent. Please fix!!!.Version: 5.28.0
✓ No goodEvery time I log in, it just kicks me back to the login page. Looks like people have been having this issue for quite some time and they haven’t fixed it. Find a more reliable app..Version: 5.53.3
✓ Sucks!!!Been using this app for 8yrs, now it’s just booted me out and won’t sign me back in, uninstalled app and reinstalled, didn’t work, reset password didn’t work, tried making new account and says account already exists. And can’t contact them to get help so app can’t even be used.Version: 5.53.1
✓ Really not working well latelyI used to really enjoy the app. But lately, it keeps crashing. Nothing loads. Keeps saying no internet connection when I have wifi. It’s really glitchy and making me want to delete the app entirely. It must be a bug or something because it’s really not working well. At all..Version: 6.96
✓ Unable to use.I am completely unable to log in to my account, I know the password and I’m able to logon on quite literally any other platform. Disappointment of an app.Version: 5.36.1
✓ Get rid of phone verificationI got this app because a bunch of my friends started a group with it I go to make an account and realise I need a phone number Easy right? Well except I don't have a phone with SMS! There is no option to get the pin via email so I have since deleted the app Add an email verification. You are costing yourselves users. I sincerely hope you read this and take it into consideration.Version: 5.2.6
✓ I use it because I have toIt’s almost like this app is used by so many people because.. it’s used by so many people. So many groups use it as a main form of communication that it does become a necessity app. However, it’s built like a cheap scaffolding or paper house. I’ve arrived at numerous glitches: messages not loading, the app not loading, password reset issues, it not remembering my email for a few days (how does that happen?) notifications not coming through until I click on the app, profile pictures and names not updating in real time (not even after weeks of people changing them) not being able to add people to groups despite them having the app & a verified phone number after numerous attempts, and an overall ugly UI. Those are my complaints. Although managing so many threads and accounts and messages has to be a challenge in and of itself, I just feel like it can’t be that hard to put a little money into making it work better and more smoothly. It is free though and it works 80% of the time as intended, and everyone is on it so as of now it’s probably one of the best group chat mediums..Version: 5.55.2
✓ Won’t let me log inEver since the update GroupMe won’t let me login anymore. I use this for work and I suppose not everyone is experiencing this, but a lot of people are and it’s frustrating that all the work related stuff I can’t even see anymore. Please fix this, it’s been weeks and I’m tired of it.Version: 5.52.1
✓ Accessibility issuesI don’t know if I simply have a glitchy download or what but this app is driving me crazy with trying to use voiceover which is a screen reader. I am blind and this app has been very difficult to navigate. What’s worse than an app that is completely inaccessible? An app that appears to be accessible but after you have spent much time setting it up, it proves to be almost impossible to function as it should. I hardly get any notifications and when I follow a notification to the app the app immediately shuts down. I have not been able to add people to the group of volunteers I am setting up for ride requests. I had to figure out how to share a link through text message and many of the people I have invited are also having difficulty with the app. This app was suggested by several friends as a great platform for my needs and I really want it to work. I hope the team who created this app will take a look at these issues. When I open a calendar event, voiceover reads the top and then skips to the bottom and all of the information in between is not accessible. Therefore I cannot find out who has excepted my ride request..Version: 5.52.1
✓ Most disappointing, don’t waste your time. Kicks you out and won’t let you log back in.I loved this app for years and used it for all my sports teams. Recently it logged me out and won’t let me log back in. I’ve changed my password through the forgot my password link and looked up as much as I can through the support but it’s all garbage. Now I have to find a new app and recreate all these groups which is a ton of work. Tried to get a hold of support but they don’t have anything that can help anyone..Version: 5.52.1
✓ Won’t log me in!!!Kicked me out. I can’t log in. It just keeps spinning trying to log in but never does. Tried getting ahold of help but after 2 weeks back and forth they gave up on me! Very disappointed with app and help..Version: 5.56.1
✓ Bugs need to be resolved.Forced log out and unable to log back in. Many issues for all members of group..Version: 5.53.1
✓ UpdatesDoesn’t look like they read these reviews so not sure this will ever be rectified... the app is great and easy to use BUT there NEEDS to be an option to delete messages. Especially for business purposes. Groupme! Listen to your reviews..Version: 5.37.1
✓ Slow, losing connection all the timeWorst messenger app what I ever use in my life.Version: 5.29.3
✓ Good, but always glitchyI’ve been using this app for 6 or 7 years now. Mainly started because we could never share videos and pics with groups that had iPhones and androids. Then I started using it because you can’t have more than 10 people on a group text so this was a way to stay connected to my much larger family without having to post on social media. I’ve loved it for that purpose. Fast forward and now every time I go in it it takes forever to load, sometimes it crashes before I get to see anything and definitely it’s hit or miss when trying to post something. It’s not like I have a super old phone either. I have an iPhone 13 Pro and completely updated. Sometimes this slowness and crashing effects me, sometimes it effects others in my groups. I just wish it was smoother all around..Version: 6.61
✓ Same as every other appI thought I would be able to connect to new people and groups out there but it’s just for my own contacts. Does no more than what WhatsApp and Skype does better..Version: 5.15.1
✓ Multiple media uploads in one goWhy is that I cannot upload multiple pictures or any other media files at once? This is such a small upgrade..Version: 5.12.4
✓ StinksThis app sticks no matter what platform I use it on it does not work there are about 35 of us that use this app in various forms over a 24 hour. Seven days a week sometimes we get a message sometimes we don’t get a message sometimes it goes through 10 minutes later sometimes we don’t ever see the message it’s not any particular platform it’s not the iPad it’s not the iPhone it’s not the messaging app it’s something and I don’t know what it is and it’s very frustrating that I’ve contacted Microsoft 15,000 times and gone on Twitter for GroupMe to ask what the problem is and they keep on telling me delete the app that it’s not just me it’s 40 other people that are having the problem. I don’t know I’m done I’m aggravated I wouldn’t download this app if I was you because they don’t respond back to you I put a Microsoft thing in you can contact GroupMe you got a put a ticket in and wait like five days for a response absolute ridiculous fix the app.Version: 5.50.2
✓ War RoomWar room not working over years.Version: 5.91
✓ Can’t log inSorry fix the log in issues, seriously affecting my job..Version: 5.57.2
✓ Update makes app unstableEver since the most recent update, the app crashes and gets very slow. It used to be much better..Version: 4.4.1
✓ Not able to log inThe new update doesn’t let me log in. Can’t check my urgent work-related updates. Can’t connect with my team. This login problem (where I can’t log in without getting kicked out) has been happening for a couple weeks now, on lots of different devices. Please fix this issue, thanks..Version: 5.52.1
✓ Don’t waste your timeIf you have been sent a join link and then download the app it will still loop you to download the app and you are unable to join the group - completely ridiculous..Version: 5.56.0
✓ App is good an somewhat security consciousBut major technical issues. It constantly has login issues and changing the phone can cause it to fail to login. Sometimes it doesn’t restore groups properly and sometimes doesn’t update message chat list. It operates like a BETA version of an application. Trash..Version: 5.56.0
✓ Where is the contact Support?!?I’ve used this app for the past 7 years of my life. I throughly enjoyed using it to connect with all different groups of friends regarding meet-ups, vacations, and other assortment of plans. It’s a great communicator in that sense to keep you informed with your various groups within your own life. However, the past three years of my life, I’ve been constantly harassed by a friend who has gone a bit psychotic in the past couple of years and has been diagnosed schizophrenic and bi-polar. He will constantly create new accounts every day literally telling me “to kill myself” or “that my life has no meaning and I should just end it.” I wake up every morning to a new account sending me that same old message. I’ve tried countlessly to report the accounts or block them but the next day happens the exact same. It feels like a horrific groundhogs day effect. GroupMe support has never once responded to my feedback request or contact support requests. It’s frustrating because I love using this app, but had to delete because I need to stop hearing hate messages from an ex-friend who won’t stop harassing me on your app..Version: 5.51.1
✓ Unable to create accountI’ve been trying to create an account for the past few days but it doesn’t work, whenever I put in my phone number it doesn’t generate the pin.Version: 5.83
✓ Chats do not open anymoreIPad Pro M1 15.5 - when I click a chat nothing happens. But if I tap a notification I can enter that specific chat. Works on my iPhone 13 mini 15.0.2.Version: 5.55.2
✓ Date of Birth infoPlease can you add a DOB section in the ‘account’ info section along with name, email address, etc? I keep getting notifications telling me to give DOB, I click the link, am asked to log in online, I do so, then sent from internet to the app page, at which point it all goes quiet and no more requests pop up and there is NO SECTION to enter your DOB manually and so I can’t! I don’t want to be blocked from using this app because of this system - please can you help make it easier. Thanks..Version: 5.19.0
✓ HisYou guys did an update but i still can’t log in, keeps reverting me back to the login page after i have completed the log in process..Version: 5.54.2
✓ Update is glitchy and looks horrible on ipadNew layout does not respect your economy of space. It squishes chats in order to always have your table of contents open. And I have run into about 3 new glitches trying to use it. Maybe consider using a different chat program. Even if you like it now it will eventually keep updating into something you hate, its what they do..Version: 6.1.3
✓ Auto shutting of the appI am using this from past 2 years and just recently it’s start acting up. It’s just just kicks me out to the sign in page. Every time I have to put my I’d and password, verify pin , sync my contacts as soon as I am checking my account with in seconds it’s back to the sign in page. Already uninstalled and reinstalled multiple time. Did all my troubleshoot nothing works..Version: 5.52.1
✓ Date of BirthExactly how many times do I have to enter my date of birth on this app. One more request and I delete this (cr) app.Version: 5.19.0
✓ CrashingKeeps crashing on me the first 2-3 attempts takes me 4-5 turnes to finally get on. Great app overall just c if u can fix this issue thanks :).Version: 4.3.4
✓ Use a different group appThis app is buggy and most importantly completely void of any security. You can’t delete chats or block people who you don’t know the phone number to like stalkers, creepy strangers, and mostly scam bots. People who aren’t in you contacts or groups can still direct message you with no way to block, only can ‘hide’ messages. Fat lot of good that does. Bots will contact you for sure, advertising porn and free iphones but GroupMe lets them do it because they don’t care about user security. You will get spammed. Even in normal use it’s a bad app when compared even to email. You can’t send audio, high quality images, video over 30 seconds. You can’t delete posts or search through a group chat. Sometimes you won’t get notifications for no reason. The app loads for a million years. You’ll even get issues logging in and creating an account ‘unknown error’. It’s just a bad app and completely ridiculous they have 4.7 stars. They must be buying reviews is all I can think of.Version: 5.43.2
✓ Dumb appWon’t let me add a previous contact. I have issues with this app..Version: 5.72
✓ TerribleHad been fine up until a few days ago… logged me out and can no longer log back in. Even after resetting my password and reinstalling the app. Terrible..Version: 5.52.1
✓ Was good, but ran into a major problemI used to love GroupMe and I would use it for all my group activities that required lots of mass-communication. But recently, it started doing this thing where it doesn’t load all of the most recent messages until I send one. As you can imagine this is very inconvenient and makes me look like I’m not paying attention to the conversation, or I make a comment on something when ppl are talking about something completely different. One time someone sent a very sentimental and heartfelt message, but it never loaded on my end, so I sent a meme and it was very awkward. I don’t think this is just an internet issue though, because it happens to a lot of other people in various group chats. It’s a big deal to me because it kind of defeats the whole purpose of GroupMe if we can’t all communicate and receive messages effectively. It’s gotten to the point where I just don’t send messages anymore because I’m worried that I’ll have another incident like the one I mentioned. Please fix this and I’ll give you guys 5 stars, because otherwise it’s a really good app!.Version: 5.54.2
✓ What is this?This is just poop.Version: 5.54.2
✓ Stopped workingWas using the app everyday to talk with game groups now like the others mentioned I am logged out and it won’t work anymore. I sent a message and never received a reply..Version: 5.52.1
✓ Why is it so difficult to include a DELETE buttonAbsolutely rubbish when they cannot even include a most basic function such as a ‘delete’ button for those posts/pictures which you may have posted accidentally in the group.Version: 5.14.1
