Comments on GroupMe for Android

★★★★★ Hazel Bowling · Oct 9, 2026
Love this app. We use this App. For our Church Group
★★★★★ Kathryn B. · Oct 9, 2026
GroupMe has been great for being able to communicate well and quickly among various groups - I have used it for years with great success.
★★★★★ Queen Icy · Oct 9, 2026
Great way to keep in touch with my co-workers and never missing out on important information
★☆☆☆☆ Zach Bartley · Oct 15, 2026
Nothing but filled with bugs and issues. None ever get addressed. Most incompatible thing with a pixel phone. Calls randomly drop calls fail to reconnect properly and no longer work until you recall if your Wi-Fi turns off and data turns on calls repeatedly fail, and you forever sit on joining call calls randomly fail first attempt then you can't call someone back until the app updates again absolute failure of a communication app
★☆☆☆☆ Josh Brown · Oct 10, 2026
Miserable app, all that happens is that I get added to group chats even though I have invited only on and get spammed by bots trying to sell things. Today I was added to 5 chats without my permission and spammed endlessly. The button to leave the chat was gone for some reason, so I had to delete the app to stop it.
★☆☆☆☆ Joshua Franklin · Oct 20, 2026
Edit: never mind, they got rid of SMS. Used to be a 5-star review. Previous: The #1 most important feature in a group chat app is for people to be able to participate with just SMS messaging. No new accounts, no new apps, no trying to teach smartphone illiterate how to use it. They have also streamlined the app really well.
