You can have your pictures, attendance, all different group chats for member classes, take attendance, and submit excuses. That used to take multiple apps and it’s really streamlined everything. ### 5/5 — Perfect sorority communication tool! *2026-07-30, version 6.5.0* Had an amazing experience with this app and use it daily. The features included make it very easy to navigate and make separate connections. I love how easy everything becomes with the organization of the app! ### 5/5 — so amazing! *2026-07-29, version 6.4.9* i’ve been using flare for some school related groups and it is so great!! it has everything so easy to find and makes it so easy to communicate! i love it so much!! ### 5/5 — amazing *2026-07-12, version 6.4.3* Its amazing for greek life and i genuinely think it’s a great app for friend groups even. ### 5/5 — so good for sorority! *2026-06-29, version 6.4.3* flare has made everything sorority streamlined. thank you flare for making our lives easier! ### 5/5 — Great for a work chat! *2026-06-02, version 6.4.2* My team was able to learn how to navigate very quickly and this is a huge improvement from standard test messages. We love the point system! It helps to track our employee of the month! ### 5/5 — Best app for Fraternities *2026-05-31, version 6.4.2* This app is essential for fraternities. I switched from group me and I think flare does everything better. I can do so much more on flare ### 5/5 — Love this app for my sorority *2026-05-30, version 6.4.2* The best communication app ### 5/5 — This app is awesome *2026-05-30, version 6.4.2* This app is a fantastic way to communicate with your fellow Greek life constituents. You can have different chat colors, your own point system, and a calendar to make each chat unique. This has been such a game changer for our organization! ### 4/5 — Pretty good for fraternity *2026-05-21, version 6.4.1* Its pretty much discord, which is good. I reccomend it to anyone who wants discord but cant convincr their group to use discord. It should prolly be more like discrd ### 5/5 — amazing app *2026-05-10, version 6.4.1* part of two student orgs that use this app, its been a huge upgrade from groupme and other apps weve used before. feels like theyve thought of everything you could want or need in a gc app. ### 5/5 — Flare is Awesome *2026-05-08, version 6.4.1* I love how Flare allows me to easily connect to my sisters! The option for different chats is amazing and allows for business and casual chats! ### 5/5 — amazing *2026-05-07, version 6.4.1* love this app so much. helps with everything. my social life is booming. ### 5/5 — AMAZING!!! *2026-04-15, version 6.3.9* Love this app and makes it super easy to communicate with different groups!! love flare!! ### 5/5 — I love flare!! *2026-04-14, version 6.3.9* This app is so easy to use and I love it!!!! ### 4/5 — Almost awesome *2026-04-13, version 6.3.9* We use this app for our Rotary Interact Club to message with members ages 12-70 and it’s been a really great app to get people onboard and communicating quickly. We love the RSVP and points features and use them at every meeting. The only draw back we have is that you can only upload 60 second videos which is a real bummer. If it allowed longer videos, even up to just 3-5 min, it would be a 5 star app all the way! ### 5/5 — Love flare *2026-04-13, version 6.3.9* I love flare! It's so well organized and so easy to use for sororities. Love every feature ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Genuinely doesn't work *2025-11-10, version 6.0.9* Forces you to enable notifcations, even if you turn them on you can't get past the prompt to enable notifications. If you select yes, it takes you to a window with no way to get out of it, you get stuck in an infinite loop. ### 1/5 — Horrible UI and Usability *2025-03-05, version 5.2.7* This app provides no instruction on how to use it. It’s not intuitive and does a horrible job at making itself useful. There’s more buttons related on what the app could potentially be used for than actually showing you how to do so. There’s no section that allows you to look for or paste a QR code to join a group. This app is essentially worthless, you and your organization are better served using other mainstream apps instead. ### 1/5 — disappointed *2025-02-02, version 5.1.8* Font appears smaller than on the rest of my phone and seems like features are being micromanaged. ### 1/5 — Notifications required?? *2023-02-09, version 3.5.7* Just downloaded the app, I don’t like the fact that I am, quite literally, forced to turn on notifications. Yes, it’s probably something you’d want on, but forcing it on me rubbed me the wrong way right off the bat. ### 1/5 — Announcements *2022-09-15, version 3.5.5* I never get my groups announcement’s in real time. I get the notification and open the app and nothing loads. It is fully up to date and I have had this problem for months. ### 1/5 — Wish my fraternity never switched *2022-02-16, version 3.4.9* Everything was better on groupme… true free speech. Now with this new application, admins are power hungry and the fraternity is becoming more split into two factions. We aren’t as brotherly as we were last semester. The admins just delete anything they don’t agree with and this is causing me much emotional anguish. I blame Jack Chen for persuading us to switch to flare. ### 1/5 — American Only *2020-10-12, version 2.0.3* Only allows American mobile numbers in the system and needs a mobile number for confirmation. I can’t use the app because I can’t get past the sign in stage. ### 2/5 — no desktop *2026-07-22, version 6.4.6* there’s no windows desktop version which makes it extremely hard to use 75% of the time. idk how people use it for important things when i can’t even access important information on my main device ### 3/5 — Love it, but I have a slight problem *2026-02-08, version 6.2.5* I love this app however it is very slow. Sometimes I won’t get the post until a day after, which is a problem because sometimes I need last minute notifications on the way to my dance classes. ### 3/5 — You guys could change the game.. but only if *2025-10-30, version 6.0.6* INTEGRATE VIDEO/VOICE CALLS (1on-1 & group) & MAYBE SOME INTEGRATED AI MODEL?? Easy win. Integrate these things within the next few updates and you may be able to put a nice price tag on the app (just let me have a discount 🫡🤭) ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Great App! *2026-08-25, version 6.5.4* Been using Flare for my different sorority events and group chats. It makes getting in contact with everyone SO much easier and keeps everything in one spot! ### 5/5 — Amazing, so very useful *2026-08-25, version 6.5.4* Using flare has allowed me to be so organized and focused on chapter involvement and allows multiple perspectives, many useful features no complaints. ### 5/5 — loveeee *2026-08-24, version 6.5.4* the app makes it so much easier to stay in contact with my sorority sisters! ### 5/5 — So Easy to Stay Connected *2026-08-19, version 6.5.3* I’ve only been using Flare for a few days and I already feel so much more informed and connected with my sisters! The app is super easy to understand and navigate, and I love having everything in one place. I especially love being able to see upcoming birthdays because it makes it so much easier to celebrate and feel closer to everyone!! ### 5/5 — Good for sororities *2026-08-19, version 6.5.3* We use Flare for everything like organizing our calendars, keeping in contact with our different group chats, and I like that the birthdays are visible ### 5/5 — the best for sororities!! *2026-08-19, version 6.5.3* Genuinely the easiest and best app to use to communicate and get updates for my sorority!! So so easy to navigate and keep things organized! ### 5/5 — Amazing *2026-08-12, version 6.5.2* Flare is such a good app, and truly helps keep things organized within my sorority, and the members! ### 5/5 — Best for sororities! *2026-08-11, version 6.5.2* My chapter recently downloaded this app and it has been amazing! I hope how we can create different chats and groups depending on the subject. I also love love how the app has a calendar where you can add photos to it. Literally the best app for sororities and I 100% recommend this app! ### 5/5 — stay organized! *2026-08-11, version 6.5.2* My sorority uses this app to keep track of events in the calendar tab, points for different things, and also a group chat for random things. We love this app and the organization it provides! ### 5/5 — BEST GROUP APP *2026-08-11, version 6.5.2* I love flare! it’s amazing for group chats. keeps everything organized and fun to make plans with a group chat. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
