I do like how simple it is to use, and it's not all over the place and complexed. > > **Cons**: I would say the design of the app could have styled it differently. I like the idea of the app being stylish and presentable. Of course, I understand that is not the main course of action. which I mean, I don't have an issue with it. > > I used to for college and the club meeting dates. It's easy to use rather than making a Facebook page or group chat ----- ### "Love GroupMe\!" — 5.0/5 > **SAMANTHA** | *22 September 2025* | 2128 | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: The ability to mute all notifications at once, seamless ability to tag others in messages, ability to make subgroups > > **Cons**: I would like to see an @everyone option, and the ability to see if the person has read the message or not ----- ### "Good for creating or joining groups" — 3.0/5 > **Criselen** | *30 August 2025* | Apparel & Fashion | Recommendation rating: 6.0/10 > > **Pros**: You can connect with people you know, find groups to join or create a group like myself from my child’s sports team > > **Cons**: It can give more personalized suggestions of groups by asking interests of the person or by having categories > > It is a good place to create a group chat without having to give out your phone number like in a message chat ----- ### "Group Me and maybe lose one or two\!" — 4.0/5 > **James** | *20 April 2026* | Transportation/Trucking/Railroad | Recommendation rating: 1.0/10 > > **Pros**: We enjoyed using GroupMe for many, many months - ease of use and costs were big factors. We found team members of all ages were easily learning to use the platform. > > **Cons**: Unfortunately, many users in our group reported loss of access and many were kicked out of groups on the platform causing lost time and data. > > We would consider using this product again if there were fewer lost users - when it worked it worked well\! ----- ### "GROUPME REVIEW" — 5.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *12 January 2026* | Education Management | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: I love groupie because I can keep in touch with a group of people for events, zooms, meetings, etc. I can also add polls, calendar events, tag people and add them by email or phone number to the group. Its perfect for business or recreational\! > > **Cons**: Sometimes when a person adds you to GroupMe through text messages, it comes through in as an sms. It's clunky and it's kind of analog. And it comes through with everybody's messages. And it's hard to remove yourself from it because someone else added you this way. And there doesn't seem to be an unsubscribe button for it. You have to go into GroupMe and remove yourself. > > I love groupme. I use it for so many organizations I am involved with. It's an excellent way to communicate and to plan. ----- Page: 1 / 6\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.co.nz/software/402055/groupme?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.co.nz/software/402055/groupme) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | ----- ## Structured Data
