Comments on GroupMe for Android

★★★★★ Brad Graybiel · Aug 9, 2026
Easy to use. Great for groups of people you want to text with.
★★★★★ Angela Reese · Aug 10, 2026
I use group me for different reasons, and I love how I can keep in touch with my groups and all at once
★★★★★ Orlando Black · Aug 5, 2026
This GroupMe app is great for getting communication to team members, encouraging, and keeping in touch, and it's very easy to use. I recommend it to anyone who has a small business or a business focused on encouragement.
★★★★★ Josh Hayden · Aug 6, 2026
Has been a great way to keep up with my kids teachers and coaches without people blowing up my phone, like group texts
★☆☆☆☆ Dutch Klinesmith · Aug 2, 2026
After set up, profile changes on its own, unable to edit profile,.after edit, it doesn't change to new settings
★☆☆☆☆ Brandon · Aug 14, 2026
Getting added to scam/fraud groups that you can't leave is an instant uninstall and delete account for me. "Error leaving group" on app and website.
★☆☆☆☆ Alana Bridges · Aug 1, 2026
Won't let me sign in. changed my password multiple times to get in, but it keeps saying it's wrong
★★☆☆☆ Joe Hernandez · Aug 14, 2026
It worked well when our daughter was in choir, but then I was added to a "stocks analysis" group. I was unable to leave the group, I just kept getting an error. Its poor UX to not be able to leave a group that I didn't ask to join in the first place.
★☆☆☆☆ ferdiebear78 · Aug 10, 2026
I need this app for my son's sports team because it's how parents get communication. I had it years ago but didn't need it anymore at the time, so I uninstalled it. Now I can not get signed back in. It said my password in incorrect, so I tried the forgot password 20+ times. It says it sends the link to my e-mail each time but has not ever, and I've checked every part of my e-mail in every place.
