## Reviews

### "Great small app with big capabilities" — 5.0/5

> **Frankie** | *26 August 2025* | Computer & Network Security | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: This application has been great for both professional and personal use. I've had no problems with it and have enjoyed the software thoroughly\!
> 
> **Cons**: I have to say, certain features were not as intuitive and I found myself seeking help on youtube to problem solve.
> 
> Overall I enjoy the application and love using it for work and with friends. It has helped myself and my coworkers in critical times.

### "Free, Fast, and Easy" — 4.0/5

> **Jeffrey** | *25 February 2026* | Veterinary Software | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Free to use for our staff and allows for multiple different groups. Our different departments as well as our team as a whole are able to post communications and announcements easily with easy notification features.
> 
> **Cons**: The web interface previously allowed for multiple group chats to be displayed in one browser window. That recently changed to only allow one group per browser tab. The ability to interact with GroupMe through a web interface is great though, especially in areas where phone usage is not allowed.
> 
> Our company has been using GroupMe for several years now in order to make announcements that are easily searchable in the future. While email will always be needed for formal communications, GroupMe acts as both a digital message board and sometimes like a digital intercom due to its phone notification features. 

Different departments in our hospital can post team specific announcements to their group as well as posting to the whole staff if needed. Direct messages are also available without having to exchange or keep personal cell phone numbers of every team member.

### "Was okay, but didn't work for team communicate-- lagging in notification" — 3.0/5

> **Lora** | *28 April 2026* | Food & Beverages | Recommendation rating: 5.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: I liked the Event section-- creating an event was fun and looked great. It was easy to grab team's attention and I really enjoyed the fact that you could create an album specifically for people to post photos in from the event. I enjoyed being able to make memes right from the app too.
> 
> **Cons**: The app would never notify anyone when people would direct message or post something in the group chat. It was difficult to communicate and we couldn't really post good videos.
> 
> It just ultimately created issues of baristas not seeing something really important in time so we had to stop using it and switch too something else. We did use a free version, but I ended up switching to a free version of ConnectTeam.

### "Large Group Messages" — 4.0/5

> **Jasmine** | *14 July 2025* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: I like most about GroupMe is the ability to have large sized groups and it is not limited to the amount of people that can be in the group.
> 
> **Cons**: What I like least about GroupMe is that notifications are not always sent to the device as it should.
> 
> My overall experience with GroupMe is good and it helps to keep communication between multiple teams easy.

### "GroupMe is Overall Pretty Great\!" — 4.0/5

> **Madison** | *6 May 2025* | Hospital & Health Care | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: I think GroupMe is a great instant messaging software to use for a variety of purposes, including work/personal/higher education and more. It is extremely easy to navigate and register for.
> 
> **Cons**: I think there are occasional glitches on the platform and sometimes newest messages do not load right away. While these do not change my opinion of the software greatly, I still think this is something to mention.
> 
> Overall, I have used numerous online messaging platforms and I think GroupMe is a great choice. There are minor issues to correct with the software, but overall it has been great and I have used it for almost five years for a variety of purposes.
