1. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

   Unbelievably Bad. Possibly the worst group chatting app out there. Constantly misses messages, even if the chat is open and people are actively messaging in it. Unnecessary and intrusive CoPilot functionality. I’d rather use a can and string.

2. ★★★★★sign-Up and Login as an Obstacle Course

   This app sucks so badly. I have spent 45 minutes trying to create an account. Every time I get “device timed out” or “incorrect format”. Can’t sign up via google, can’t sign up via phone, can’t sign up via email. Fix your app. It sucks.

3. ★★★★★crashes, freezes and errors

   Great app for groups but quite buggy. I’ve had a great experience thus far but lately I’ve noticed that I haven’t been able to see the “send” button when editing or making longer messages Also, occasionally I’ll see that I have every single group marked as unread, even though they have the same latest messages from the last time I read them. I am using an iPhone SE 2nd generation; hopefully this review helps, and that these issues are addressed soon

4. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

   No update sucks. Looks very bad and kind of an eyesore.

5. ★★★★★an update broke a familiar workflow

   Recent update broke event scheduling. With the most recent update you can’t schedule events for a specific time. Very annoying as our games start at odd times like 8:40.

6. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

   Not Secure. Account hacked. No reset email received.

7. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

   Login issues. Been trying to login to my account & it won’t let me because I don’t have my old number anymore. It’s so frustrating for me & my job. I tried using support & it kept me with a robot that just kept repeating itself. I just need to change my old number to my new number. Super annoying.

8. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

   Won't Let Me Change Profile. it won't let me change anything abt my profile no matter what i try.

9. ★★★★★login, signup and account access

   Fails all the time. Cannot login, cannot ask forget password. Sends notifications of new messages but it does not show them

10. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Stupid. Stupid

11. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    App is a POS. I used this app for years. Then got logged out one day. Getting back in was impossible so I deleted this POS app. Microsoft SUCKS!!!!!!!!

12. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    THIS APP IS SO ANNOYING!. So first of all it took like an eternity to log in, and then the other day i tried to get into group me and then it FULL ON KICKED ME OUT! And then i tried to sign back in, and it said “something went wrong. Please try again” even though my password was right. I finally got it to work but none of my chats were there and there was a message from 2020, from “GroupMe support” saying that i was one of the 100 people that they had selected to win an “iPhone 11” like bro. Scammers.

13. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Don’t even bother. This is one of the most difficult apps I have ever had the displeasure of signing into. It will not accept your phone number. I have no idea as to why it simply refuses to work properly. I haven’t even signed into it yet, and judging by how bad the user interface is for the sign-in page, I’m going to be in for a rough ride trying to communicate with literally anybody. No joke, I’ve been trying to sign in for a month now, but to no avail. And if you’re a part of an organization that uses this app to communicate (which is my situation), then may the lord have mercy on your soul. Way to go, GroupMe. You have successfully ruined my day, if not, my entire month.

14. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    half baked, unfinished. Frustrating. Calendar feature in particular is a mess. No way to undo. Can’t handle recurring events. Can’t make a calendar without spamming the group. Even their own “submit diagnostic logs” email feature sends to a bounced email address. How completely half assed to not even set up their own support flow. This app is not serious.

15. ★★★★★a needed feature is missing

    No Option To Sign-in with Google. I wish I could be as incompetent at my job as app developers are. I don’t even want to use this app but the app website on mobile is mostly unusable due to the amount of pop-ups and banners demanding I use the app. Well fine. I download the app. I try to sign in. Wait, where’s the option to log in with Google? Hmm I could’ve sworn my GroupMe account is via my google account, but maybe not. Go back to the website. Try to log in. Oh, I was right, there’s the option to sign into with google. Go back to the app. Still no option… is this for real? I can’t even fathom any other profession on earth displaying the amount of sheer incompetence and laziness that software developers get away with.

16. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Pay. I had to pay just to even download the app 🤦🏽‍♀️

17. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    NOT FUNCTIONAL. Does not work. Glitches out every time I use it. I tried to fix by clearing the GroupMe storage cache, deleting app and reinstalling it, and it still won’t work. Please fix!

18. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    APP SUCKS. Just because I’m underage by one year means that I can no longer be in a chat with my club witch means I can’t communicate with anyone and I can’t retry with the same phone number TERRIBLE

19. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Bad app. All I’m going to say is that this app completely broke after the update for me, I can’t view chats, view pictures, leave chats, delete chat. And they have made no way so far to fix it for me.

20. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Non Inclusive. It’s disappointing that I cannot change the skin tone of my reaction emojis. One would think that since most if not all the other SM allow this, GroupMe would as well but it appears that the app is behind the times.

21. ★★★★★login, signup and account access

    Won't Let Me Log In. Terrible service, I tried to log in and it didn’t work. It kept saying “Something went wrong. Please try again” and then I tried to create a new account with a new email, and it just said “Something Went Wrong” Honestly, I would rate this app 0 stars but that’s not possible because I have to right a review. Terrible and would NOT recommend unless they fix this.

22. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Needs fixing after working well for months. It no longer lets me login. It does not recognize my same Password and will not send the email to reset password. Noticing several other comments with one star and complaints of malfunctioning, I ask why developers still do not respond to anybody. Right now I’m trying to check the status of a Saturday meeting, but the app does not let me login. I even uninstalled groupme and reloaded it. Still dissatisfied with failure of the app.

23. ★★★★★sign-Up and Login as an Obstacle Course

    Create Account???. I have tried my IPhone, Web and android to create a account. All of them said the same thing: “unexpected error” response😒

24. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Messages won’t load or send. I get a notification that a message was sent to me, but I can’t see it when I load the app, and I also can’t send messages. It really messes with our workflow, we will have to find a different app to use

25. ★★★★★accessibility and assistive-technology issues

    Fix the fonts!!. App does not respect system default font settings. Text in chats is microscopic. I do not need increased font sizes anywhere in iOS but cannot read anything in message threads in this app. I had to increase font three sizes using per-app accessibility settings just to be able to read anything in chat threads, and even with that enabled font is STILL smaller than out-of-the-box system default font size settings for iMessage. If Microsoft can’t respect system default settings, the app should not pass App Store review.

26. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    I cannot send messages anymore. The app does not function normally, it doesn’t send messages anymore, what can be the issue?

27. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Won’t load no help. Can’t get past the verify pin screen, customer service can’t help. Been going on 2 weeks with no help

28. ★★★★★login, signup and account access

    Updated Cannot Sign in through Google. I used to be logged in using my Google Account and GroupMe logged me out. I cannot access any of my work groups.

29. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    locked out. can’t log in. It will not send me a link to change passwords. i keep getting errors. please fix.

30. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Won’t let me in/ Kicked me out. It took me forever to get signed in. I went to my chat joined, left a message and it kicked me out. Now it’s asking if i want to create a new account! We tried several numbers and emails and still won’t let me in! So now I’m in a chat I cant even answer. Needs to be fixed!
