What do you dislike about GroupMe?

What problems is GroupMe solving and how is that benefiting you?

It solved the issue of not giving out my number to various people throughout the company. It allowed me to set boundaries within my role and have people contact me through group me. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about GroupMe?

I like that messages can stay in the app or they can be sent as text messages so that people do not have to download the app if they do not want to. Instead of collecting all of my adult classmates' cellphone numbers, we can all sign into the app and create a group to communicate. It is also helpful in group work so that everyone in the group can send quick questions and messages to each other. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about GroupMe?

I dislike that I can't remove a group easily. When a class is over, I should be able to remove myself easily from that group so that I no longer receive messages. I do not see that option easily on the app. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering GroupMe:

It is free and it is easy to use for quick messaging. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is GroupMe solving and how is that benefiting you?

Quick communication is much easier with GroupMe. There's no need to be part of a group text or a long string of emails if you are just communicating quickly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about GroupMe?

I like how it is a mass communication platform. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about GroupMe?

I wish that I could see who is reading my messages immediately. Like a read receipt. I want push notifications enabled for when I send certain messages, telling me that users have read them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering GroupMe:

Try to make several smaller groups instead of one big one. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about GroupMe?

The amount of people that GroupMe allows in chat groups is huge, which is extremely helpful to communicate with other students in a large class. GroupMe also has many great features, such as a mute option for chats that you do not want to receive notification from. Overall, this is a great way to communicate with others! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about GroupMe?

It would be helpful not to notify others when someone leaves a group chat. However, this is not a major concern, and there is not much to dislike about this app! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering GroupMe:

GroupMe is great for communicating with others. I also like that you can share an invite link with others so that they can join a chat. I would recommend using GroupMe for classes or group projects since it is very adaptable for many different devices, as opposed to other messaging apps. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is GroupMe solving and how is that benefiting you?

GroupMe is especially useful for large polls! Users can vote in the chat, and the votes are formatted into a chart to show what is winning. In addition, after the poll expires, the results are displayed in the chat, which is extremely helpful. This is a great feature that allows for quick opinions to be shared amongst a class or a group!
