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 | 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. ----- ### "Easy to use but not much functionality" — 3.0/5 > **Katie** | *28 January 2025* | 2128 | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: GroupMe is a nice product for its simplicity. People of all ages (from teenagers to seniors) have, in my experience, been able to navigate it easily. > > **Cons**: I have had glitches with the GroupMe app vs website before. Oddly sometimes only one or the other would update. I'd have different messages in the app vs in the web browser. Sometimes in the app I'll click on a group or person's chat and it opens a completely different chat. I also wish there was more functionality within GroupMe. Other apps, like Band, have more functionality but, admittedly, are then more complicated for the users to figure out. > > Overall my experience with GroupMe has been positive, but I have had many frustrating moments when the app isn't updating correctly. Since there is just one thread of conversation you can also sometimes have information get lost in the chaos and then people are asking the same questions over and over because they struggle to search back through the chat to find the information. ----- ### "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. ----- ### "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. ----- Page: 1 / 6\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.ie/software/1016339/groupme?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.ie/software/1016339/groupme) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | ----- ## Structured Data
