Please add parental controls

We love this app for youth church groups in our local ward however, is there any way to create account with parental controls? It could be as simple as adding a pin to access the settings, then add web access restrictions and hiding the Discover tab in the settings menu.
We often have a combo of youth leaders, parents, and youth in our group chats. This would be nice to decrease access to unwanted inappropriate content for our teens. Thanks

Number part is not working

I keep on trying to sign in but I still can’t get in and I tried to reset my phone and it still won’t work

Videos don’t work correctly

If multiple video files are uploaded to a topic section, some of them that you haven’t even opened yet will have overlapping audio with the video that you’re watching, overall, though, it does what I need it to

Scammers Galore

Every group chat I’ve been in, almost weekly a scammer has joined and offered free stuff as a scam, and I frequently get scammer DMs with the same script. This has been happening for months

Terrible app, terrible customer service

I’ve had a ongoing issue with this app since I’ve updated my iPhone. It doesn’t send me notifications. I tried everything, including deleting and reinstalling the app. I would cast this app into the deepest pit of hell if I didn’t have to use it for my kids’ sports. I tried getting help on their chat and it was the worst customer support experience I’ve ever received. The agent asked me countless questions that I had already addressed previously in the chat. He refused to escalate three different times, walking me through the same BS solutions I told I him I already tried. I hate this app and can’t wait until I don’t have to use it. If I could give it negative stats I would.

@ Everyone

I would find it very helpful, if we had the option to @everyone, not just individuals, in a chat so that important messages arent lost!

Caution ⚠️

There are highly inappropriate GIFs that I happened to come across (don’t search 67 in gifs)

No notifications

Notifications are turn on in the app and on my phone (I’ve made sure a million times), and I still get no notifications but when I go in the app and click messages, there is always ton that I’ve missed unopened because I wasn’t alerted.

Terrible bugs

App won’t let me send messages if it THINKS it’s embedded with a link, even if it’s not. Literally prevents me from communicating, also beware of scammers, there’s certainly more than a few of them.

Scam Ridden

Groupme has a serious issue with scam and spam groupmes that they have zero support to fix. People are able to freely add you to whatever group they want with minimal information and there’s nothing you can do about it. Their report feature is also terrible and would probably need a written confession to actually remove something. Sucks cause the actual features are decent but the downsides are so obnoxious.

Horrible…

This app has become unusable with the amount of scam group chats I get added to. I can’t go a day without getting added to 2-3 free ticket group chats that constantly spam my notifications. Sadly, I cannot delete this app since it’s how my work communicates. But if you are looking for a good app for group communication, look somewhere else. I’ll delete this review once you can change a setting that stops letting people add you to their groups.

So. Many. Scammers.

More than any other app I know. More than WhatsApp even. How have we not gotten past this?

Holy Scam Messages

My ability to use the app is severely hindered by the constant bot accounts sending spam/scam messages in group chats. If using this platform, don’t be surprised to have to report the same “free MacBook” or “free concert tickets” two or three times a day.

Password reset loop

Stop the password reset loop. You guys are terrible. Worst app people reset of any app I’ve ever used.

No acepta número de PR como país para iniciar la apps

Me aparece error “Su país no es compartible”

Yuck

Would be good if everyone on this app wasn’t so twisted and god forsaken.

Horrible

Agirl named Aubrey is blackmailing me

All I gatta say…

I really like talking with my friends and copilot really helps too… but I have things to say about copilot I like to role play but when I add romance it’s like I can’t do that and I’m like it’s not that bad kissing isn’t bad ITS PURE LOVE, and being touchy in role plays ARE NOT BAD!!!! So that’s all I gatta say… make copilot be a little more less sensitive…
