I used to for college and the club meeting dates. It's easy to use rather than making a Facebook page or group chat

#### Ratings breakdown

- Ease of use: 5/5
- Value for money: 5/5
- Customer support: 4/5
- Functionality: 4/5

#### Pros

Team Communication and easy to use and chatting with others is really easy to use. 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.

- Industry: Education Management
- Company size: 2-10 employees

- Reviewed: January 2026

I love groupme. I use it for so many organizations I am involved with. It's an excellent way to communicate and to plan.

#### Ratings breakdown

- Ease of use: 5/5
- Value for money: 5/5
- Customer support: 3/5
- Functionality: 5/5

#### 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.

### Great cross-platform messaging app for larger groups

- Overall rating: 5/5
- Reviewer: Absana P.
- Verified reviewer: Yes
- Industry: Information Technology and Services
- Company size: 1001-5000 employees
- Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years
- Reviewed: January 2026
- Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you.

Compared to competitors GroupMe is the best for large groups, especially if some don't have SMS or are travelling international. It's easy to use with a simple interface and works cross-platform. However, it lack good media quality for attachments and there are security issues.

#### Ratings breakdown

- Ease of use: 5/5
- Value for money: 5/5
- Functionality: 3/5

#### Pros

I love that GroupMe is free and connects iPhone and Android users. It's perfect for large groups, easy to use and has a good amount of features including, gifs, location, file/photo attachments and emojis.

#### Cons

Calling can be difficult since it uses Microsoft teams, and it does not have a video calling option. Furthermore, it does have a low media quality since it uses native camera. It also lacks some features like pinned messages. There's also no end-to-end encryption. If your making a public group, its very easy for spammers to join and flood the chats.
