GroupMe — awesome in theory and mostly good actually, but glitchy
I get why it does it, but I really wish it didn’t automatically count the event host as an rsvp especially lately as the app and site have both been glitching to set your rsvp to yes after you remove it (I didn’t used to have this problem,…
GroupMe — Many issues especially content
This app lacks many safeguards, and content filters.
GroupMe — Needs Accessibility Settings
The app works as intended, but the lack of accessibility settings is a little strange for a group chat app, especially one that is required in so many workplaces/classes.

Newest update cuts off the ends of text messages, at least half of every messages last sentence is entirely missing.
GroupMe — Search doesn’t work at all
Search functionality is completely broken and can’t find things by simply keyword searching even one word.

Love this app but it has annoying, recurring bugs like I don’t get messages at work unless I turn off the WiFi.

Every time I try to join a group it just says “something went wrong .” Totally useless.
