## 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.

### "Terrible Login process and recovery" — 1.0/5

> **Jose** | *24 September 2026* | Airlines/Aviation | Recommendation rating: 3.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Chatting with others and being able to join groups all in close chats. the ability to cleanly orgnaize chats
> 
> **Cons**: It's unbelievable that I've lost access to my account, and the only way to regain it is to remember the names of chats from years ago. This has been the most cumbersome process I've ever experienced. After two days of trying, I still have no access."
> 
> Terrible experience and no real person to truly help with the account recovery process. This makes it take forever to get access and i to this time do not have access

### "Group chat central" — 5.0/5

> **Nick** | *10 July 2026* | Health, Wellness & Fitness | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: I like that GroupMe allows users to pin important topics in the chat to save them for later. I also really like the polling feature.
> 
> **Cons**: I feel like its hard to search through the photo gallery of groups in GroupMe. I have also had issues recovering account information when trying to reset a password.
> 
> I have utilized GroupMe for sports leagues, fantasy sports, school projects and work projects. It has been a consistent tool for the past couple of years. The polling feature in GroupMe makes it very easy to plan activities. I have enjoyed using GroupMe and will continue to use it for the foreseeable future.

> **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.
