Groups.io App

I run the email for my small, social cricket club and use Groups.io for that purpose. Also as a photographer who is part of the AOP I get daily updates from our forum. The service is quite superb and free for small entities like my cricket club. WhatsApp is fine (and also used) but sometimes you want to give long emails (eg tour details) Can’t recommend highly enough Go for it!

We often find issues with links to files held within Groups.io’s database.

I like to use the app as I have all the emails from my group nicely sorted by hashtags and I find the overview layout really good. I prefer a mobile app to just using the browser as I find the notification works better. The file view and download etc works well linking to the browser. I love the app. I don’t miss messages anymore from my group, can see new files and I gut away in the app.

It is basically just displaying the website. The file upload feature on the website doesn’t work on an iPad and this is no different in this app.

The app performs poorly- frequently closing unexpectedly. The navigation is unwieldy and it’s hard to switch between different discussions without backing out to the main screen, losing your place in the process. Final straw is having to login each and every time to access. Uninstalled.

Please make Groups.io like A app with tabs, A profile tab yes, I can't find my profile, And I'm sick of it. Good app.

While this app is handy to be able to view Groups on my mobile device, it absolutely fails at accessing linked content. Click on any image or attachment and while it opens, there’s no way to close but to forcefully kill the app. If the developer could fix this one issue they’d turn their ratings from 1 to 5 almost instantly. It would be nice if the developer could give this a bit of attention - especially when they are trying to collect fees from groups using the enhanced services like files and DB.

The overall usability of the app is archaic, due to most components not fitting on screen correctly on moderen hardware.

Nav seems like it should be fundamental in the app. I have to force quit to get back to the post. easier to read via browser than via this apps. please fix it

Saving website to homescreen also works very well. Looks and feels like an app with an icon. Groups.io is a good alternative to many intrusive social media companies. Not tracking and no ads. We are using instead of nextdoor.
