Make Classic View an option
The new update is a UX & UI Masterclass on Failure. The new update misses on all fronts. Let’s start with UI. The new look is bulky and way too spaced out - I used to be able to read lists of messages at once and now I need to scroll years just to catch up on missed messages. Wanna know what makes things even worse? Inserting an additional space below the message whenever someone reacts…what a perfect way to be able to read even less than I previously could! While we’re on the topic - the UX is also terrible! Double click to heart, great if you have 5-10 seconds to wait for the message to actually update with your heart. You want to see who hearted/reacted to your message? Goodluck trying to get the icon hold perfect before it slowly loads with who’s reacted. Oh so sad how the greats have fallen - GroupMe I’m sure the people in charge think this is a great new update - (can’t wait to never use the copilot feature) please please please make an option to revert back to classic view. PLEASE. My GroupChat and how we communicate with eachother lies in your hands.Show lessConorO14
Unhappy
Unfortunately, everyone uses GroupMe instead of Telegram or the Band App for school and church (large groups of ppl). So, I have a bunch of groups and one thing I absolutely hate is: 1. I can’t post more than 3 pics at a time (I have the iPhone 14 Pro). If I do 5 it freezes and crashes. The photos keep spinning and never post and I can’t delete it or stop it or retry. It just spins. I can’t even post video clips into the chat. 2. The calendars can’t repeat so if you’re group meets weekly or does something monthly, you have to create a new calendar each time. 3. Admin should be able to adjust RSVP in calendars. For example, if I sent a calendar event to 35 people and I know one person is in the ER and can’t RSVP I should be able to change her rsvp to No. It’s easier to visually see and manage events. I have provided feedback several times and no changes. The Band app you could do this. Overall, group me has so many things it could improve on. On the positive, I do like the topics that they launch where you can categorize the conversation.Show lessMercedy mom
Revised Review
Something I noticed after deleting DMs is that older DMs appear. (Semi-related: deleting messages from DMs bumps that DM to the top while deleting messages in groups does not, just FYI) Why did these older DMs not show up in the first place?
I saw in the update that we can delete messages now, so I re-downloaded the app. And added a star. This is a bandaid solution that doesn’t solve the main issue of GroupMe: most group owners abandon or get locked out of their account, so we get stuck in a multitude of dead groups with no ability to end them. Since we can delete ALL our messages now, members of groups should be able to end ALL our groups. Or at least inactive and abandoned groups. Better yet, GroupMe should implement Reddit and Facebook features where if a group owner has no activity in a time period, open the group for anyone to be the group owner OR automatically end them. I’d also like to be able to delete all my messages and likes in groups I was removed from, so if we could at least access an archive of when we were in those groups to delete our messages and such or automatically delete our messages and such upon removal.Show less♪♫♪♫♪♫♪
