3/5Works great!
Just downloaded this and it works great! It shows the chat with in-line photos. My only suggestions are 1) I can reply to the thread but don’t see a way to “like” an individual post, 2) it would be great to see a bigger version of the photo by tapping on it, 3) for those without flicktype, it would be nice to turn that off as an option when replying. But this is still a great app for the Apple Watch! Update: sorry, I had to take a star off the review because the “post/reply” function wasn’t working for me. Still let’s me see the messages and photos though!

2/5So far not impressed.
I don’t get notifications on my watch when someone posts something new- it’s not even showing up in my notifications list of apps on either my phone or within the apple watch app. I’ve written two different support addresses and still haven’t received a response. Also, when I open the complication on the watch, it ALWAYS shows the last response from the day I downloaded the app, regardless of the fact we’ve been chatting for days since. So it takes a while to download and “catch up” to the present. I don’t understand what even happened... I used to get my Groupme texts just fine on my watch without this added app. What happened?? If things don’t change, I’ll be deleting it. Wish I could get my $2 back.

1/5Won’t even load onto watch
My workplace uses GroupMe for communication so I was excited to see that I could get it on my watch. Ended up wasting $2 because the app won’t even show up in my watch settings! Everything has been updated, but still, nothing. I go to “My Watch” and the app isn’t there. I reset both phone and watch. Still nothing. I know the developer is like, one guy, and making an app is challenging. But charging for an app that doesn’t work correctly or doesn’t even work at all is real scummy. I hope this problem either gets fixed, or I get my money back. $2 isn’t a lot, but it’s the principle of the thing. I paid for services that I did not receive.

3/5Apple watch 4 notifications do the same thing
Sadly it only lets you read the notifications and through the conversations but it doesn’t allow you to respond so basically what the watch already does the only difference between this and the watches stock notification system is that with this app you can go back into the GroupMe messages and read through them versus Just reading it in the notification area.

1/5Pointless
I only got this stupid app because I noticed when I got my new Apple Watch I was no longer getting GroupMe notifications on my watch and I looked into and it said I needed to get this app. So I installed it on my watch and then had to install it on my phone and sign in through my phone. When I tried to sign in though I couldn’t because they said there was already an account with my email…the account that I was trying to sign in to, to get the apps synced up with each other to get the notifications on my watch. Don’t spend the $1.99 for this. It’s terrible and pointless if I can’t even get it to work.
