No more than the website, and actually a bit less
I had hoped the previous negative reviews were the typical RTFM teacup tempests, or just old issues that have been fixed, but now that I’ve tried the app I agree. It appears to be nothing more than a dumbed-down interface to the exact same website you could access in Safari. And, yes, part of that dumbing down involved removing the ability to go back to the previous page. I gave it two stars because it does actually do what it is supposed to, but it doesn’t do it well. I will be deleting the so-called app.

Works fine for Me
I have quite a few groups, I moderate a few groups that are over 500 people each, this app helps me find archives and reply and moderate while on the go. Works just fine for me!
Pretty unusable
The app is painfully slow. It takes an age to load anything, icons show as squares, trying to access message threads is hit and miss.
How is this so bad?
That’s is why is this so bad. The app just failed to work and the group io has a terrible layout and is hard to navigate.
Yes, but why?
I just don't get it. Pin groups.io to your home screen as a web app for exactly the same experience. This app is merely a web wrapper, and for members seems to offer essentially nothing. Having an app only makes sense if you're going native. Do that, and we can discuss this again.
