Professor Education Management Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Easy Contact with Students" February 4, 2022 5.0 I do like that I can use the app or pull it up on the computer for whichever is easier for me. I use it both personally and with my students. Always easy to add or delete people from a chat I start. Pros This software allows me to get my students' phone numbers and communicate with all of them without them having my personal phone number. I can keep in touch with all of them without the hassles of differences in phone manufacturers. It also stores photos, so I can go back and get them later. Cons Sometimes the notifications turn off without me knowing it and I've missed a few messages that way. Doesn't allow for video chats, so I have to use another app for that. Review Source KZ Kari Z.

Pros My favorite part about the app, is there anybody can join but if they have an iPhone or an android phone! Cons Sometimes signing up and joining a group chat didn’t always go smoothly.

Keeping things sorted and organized is great. Cons Battery usage management could be better, but it's not impactful enough to reduce my opinion of the software. Review Source TW Tara W. Realtor Real Estate Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "GROUPME IS A GREAT TOOL FOR COMMUNICATIONS" January 19, 2024 5.0 I USE THIS APP ON A DAILY BASIS AND IT IS A WONDERFUL TOOL TO KEEP OUR TEAM IN CONTACT. Pros EASY TO USE AND KEEP IN CONTACT WITH TEAM MEMBERS Cons I DO NOT HAVE ANYTHING BAD TO SAY ABOUT THE APP. Review Source YK Yogi K. Business Systems Analyst Hospital & Health Care Used the software for: 2+ years ### "GroupMe - Instant chat with group of people quick and easy" April 22, 2022 4.0 GroupMe is very useful for team members collaboration where we can send messages and announcements to the whole team with an instant message/chat. The team members can also respond and communicate in replying to the group chat. Pros Instant chat to the group of people and friends for collaboration are easy to use and can send pictures or videos to the group chat. Cons notification that the message/chat is delivered or has been read by the group members can be improved so that we know if one of the member in the group did not read the chat message .

Chats work well. Adding people or making new groups is a seamless process whether on wifi or data. Can handle photos and links well enough. Cons I wish notifications would clear across all devices associated with an account. There can be very very active group chats, and seeing notifications pile up on unopened devices even though you keep up with your main device is quite annoying. Review Source LE Liz E. Financial coach Financial Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Ease of use and convenient" November 11, 2021 5.0 Pros I really like that Groupme is easy and simple to use and a great way to keep our team in contact with each other. It is a great platform to connect everyone and chat between each other. Cons One area that could be improved was adding new people to a group. Also not requiring people to post something in the group before they are removed. Review Source AW Anna W. Firefighter Government Relations Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Great communication" October 27, 2023 5.0 Pros GroupMe is a great source of communication for our workplace. Cons Sometimes the individual chats will not work. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer College and Career Navigator Higher Education Used the software for: 2+ years ### "GroupMe User" May 27, 2022 5.0 I like using GroupMe, and the only downfall I have found is that (I have my GroupMe messages sent to my phone) the messages get jumbled up, so I have to open the app. Other than that, Groupme is a great communication tool. Pros I like to be able to communicate with large amounts of people without email. GroupMe allows me to do that easily. Cons The messages sometimes are jumbled if I'm not in the app. Review Source DS Dania S. Student Online Media Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "My experience with Group Me" December 17, 2021 1.0 Not very happy, it is a good product, but there are too many bugs and constantly have to reinstall when adding people. This has happened to many of us. Having to reinstall an app to be able tp connect with someone is not a good experience. Pros That you are allowed to communicate fast with a group. Cons That it is not user friendly very difficult to set up and create or edit groups. It is a real pain. Reason for choosing GroupMe Because everyone uses it and we needed something other than email. Review Source aM andrea M. creative director Hospitality Used the software for: 2+ years ### "GroupMe is great for saying something to large groups" February 9, 2022 4.0 Overall, I appreciate the function of being able to rally my entire staff in once chat room on my mobile device. I like that others can chime in and communicate. I overall love the fact that people can "like" a comment in order to show they have read a comment - keeps things accountable. Pros I love that I can set up many chats amongst different departments at my workplace. I like that I can identify when someone has read my comment, as they "heart" or "like" my comment. I appreciate the ability to silence the app so that I am not disturbed by chatter in the chats if I do not want to be. Cons I do not like how challenging it can be to get people added to chats. In some cases if a phone number was used for a previous chat group the system seems to have issues with allowing them to be re-added to the group. I found the "on boarding" process to be laborious. Review Source AK Aysylu K. student Pharmaceuticals Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Good messenger " March 31, 2022 5.0 Overall, I like this App. Really nice for talking in big groups, share files, create polls. Pros I use GroupMe mostly for school group communication. I like that mobile phone is not displayed on the information tab. Also, very nice thing is the ability to "like" the messages, saves space and no need to type a lot. Cons I cannot see other people's phone number, because sometimes I need to call. Review Source SM Shayla M. Family Ministry Director Religious Institutions Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Softball team/ Women's Bible study" May 24, 2022 5.0 Great! Easy to use and communicate Pros It was very versatile as to who I wanted to create a group for. This could be done to communicate with anyone! Cons I don't have any negative thoughts about this software Review Source SC Steven C. President Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "GroupMe Is Just What It Says. " January 23, 2022 3.0 GroupMe is great for easy to communicate across different platforms. Pros This is a good way to keep up with groups of people who want to keep it simple and streamlined. Since we all have different ways of communicating based on the type of cellular and laptop devices are being used, there needs to be a way to do this. GroupMe is a good product to have that is friendly across the board. Cons The only thing that I do not like about this is that is is not familiar and people are sometimes leery of using it. But as time goes on and more people start using it, it will become more familiar. Review Source MC Monica C. Coach Health, Wellness and Fitness Used the software for: 2+ years ### "GroupMe for a variety of uses" December 31, 2021 5.0 Overall I love it. It’s simple, easy to use and I use it for many things. Pros I love that I can use groupme for multiple different purposes and that it’s separate from just simply texting someone. It helps me keep categories separated for work and even budgeting with my spouse. Cons Sometimes there are glitches that cause messages not to send but overall it’s been good. Review Source BB Billy B. Head Coach Health, Wellness and Fitness Used the software for: 2+ years ### "GroupMe is in the past" March 8, 2022 2.0 I don’t like it & am glad we moved to Prospr. Pros I like the communication piece & the ability to “like” comments. Also individual messaging. Cons No way of sharing large documents easily. No bulletin board separate from groups. Review Source JT Justin T. QA Rep Pharmaceuticals Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Best chat app for groups " November 10, 2022 5.0 Pros Great group messaging app, very nice looking, no bugs or glitches Cons Not really anything not sure why more people don’t use this! Review Source AW Allie W. Program Coordinator Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Communicate with your team easily" October 5, 2022 4.0 Pros I really enjoy GroupMe because it's a good alternative form of communication when members of a team don't have social media or don't want their phone numbers shared. Cons It's slightly difficult to remove yourself as an admin or moderator within the app. I've struggled and have had to had others remove me from it since it wouldn't let me. Review Source LW Lindsey W. Retail Specialist Retail Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Favorite Group Chat " August 23, 2022 5.0 Have used for years and plan on doing so for the next 8 years! Wonderful experience using this software. Pros I have been using this for years with my sons baseball teams. We could not live without it! Easy to navigate and use for important messages regarding the team! Cons There is nothing I do not like about this software! Review Source AO Alice O. Hair stylist Cosmetics Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Good for group messages " May 21, 2022 4.0 Good software app for smaller groups Pros Our kids school used it to share pictures of what was done in class Cons Not having a place to store pictures within the app, can get a little hard not to miss messages when there are lots of people in one group Review Source CS Corley S. campus minister Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Great for Group Messaging" August 30, 2022 4.0 I use GroupMe on a daily basis and find it to work great for what I need. Pros What Iike the most is how easy it is to message large groups at one time. Cons What I like the least is how difficult it is to leave a group once the reason I joined it is over. Review Source WW Warren W. Owner Food & Beverages Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Great free option for teams to communicate" June 2, 2022 4.0 Pros the best part of groupme was that it was free compared to other team chat apps. However, it didn't have any other features to manage my business like task management, work order tracking, and scheduling Cons Customer support was almost non existent which made sense since this was a free app. Review Source KL Kaleena L. Sr. Communications Consultant Insurance Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Decent group communication software" February 5, 2022 3.0 GroupMe was relatively easy to set up. Members can quickly communicate back and forth as needed. It gets the job done, but I’m not sure how it differentiates itself from standard texting on a smartphone. Pros I like being able to talk to a group of people in real-time. It’s similar to basic text messaging or the group chat feature. Cons I couldn’t stand getting two notifications of the same message every time someone using GroupMe sent a message. Review Source ER Emily R. Teacher Education Management Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Group Me " June 7, 2022 5.0 Overall it’s good for small groups like sports teams but when you have 20+ it isn’t as efficient. Pros It’s super easy to use and easy to add contacts. Cons It can get overwhelming with a large group. Review Source AK Annie K. Owner and Creator Luxury Goods & Jewelry Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Perfect for group conversations!" October 26, 2021 4.0 I am able to keep in touch with large groups of people, whether it be for church, friendship, business, or parties. Being able to throw get together and have polls easily planned through the app is also a must for me. Pros I love that anyone can use GroupMe, no matter where they live and what type of phone they have. It makes the process of messaging seamless, especially for messages with a lot of people in it. I also love that you can like messages, send out invites that people can interact with, and keep track of people in the group as well as set messages to do not disturb. Cons The only thing I don't like about groupme is that you have to download the app to use it properly. I have no issue with this, but some people who. aren't tech-savvy have trouble with this aspect of the product.
