Message Likes Not Shown

I can never see who likes my messages, and it’s quite challenging to see who likes others at times

Solid app for my baseball team and league, one recent issue

All of a sudden the polls aren’t working the way they did. Your own votes aren’t included in the vote tally’s when you look at the poll results. It makes it look like you didn’t even vote

Event Making is now AWFUL

Please fix the ridiculous amount of scrolling needed to change the event time. It took 87 scrolls to move it from the current time to the time of the event.

Difficult!

My church uses GroupMe to communicate with leaders. I joined a chat group that had turned out not what it presented itself to be. Now I’m trapped! I’ve tried NUMEROUS times to leave the group but to no avail! I get the message ‘failed to leave the group’ each time I try. Please if you can help me you are welcomed to try!

Can’t even login

I get the code sent to my phone number, but the app just goes into a never ending spiral.
