Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • GroupMe has a great reputation, which makes it easier when the app is well known and functions as needed when communicating with large groups of people.
  • The GroupMe is very user friendly and it's easy to get started no matter how much of a novice you are. The fact that you can create events and invitations for your group events is a real plus.
  • In my university days, thus was a must have and I've used it for work too. It keeps everyone in the loop no matter where they're at with quick messages. It's good for when you don't need to do a full on meeting but you need to get a message or file out to everyone quickly.
  • Intuitive communication platform to interact with coworkers and friends. Easy to add and chat with people. Photo and video sharing options. Group chat.
  • GroupMe has multi-platform support. It offers instant messaging. Group chatting and controlling are great. Encrypted and secured messages.

Cons

  • It has served the purposes I have needed it to over the years, so no complaints.
  • Sometimes it is a little difficult to follow multiple conversation threads that are subgroups of the main group.
  • There's a few glitches with it if you're only using it through your phone number. I suggest always using the app.
  • I never encountered any problems with this platform.
  • It worked great for me. I highly recommend this tool.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • I find WhatsApp to be a great and exciting platform to communicate with other users with an ease. Besides instant messaging, WhatsApp also allows me to create group, join communities, share multimedia files, share statuses, make and take both voice and video calls.
  • - It only takes your phone number and that's it. It doesn't ask any other details of the user to use this app. - It is very user-friendly and easy to use app with no ads and completely free to use. - User can delete the scent message which is a good feature that WhatsApp offers to the users. - it has brilliant audio and video calling features, which uses fewer data than its competitors.
  • I am very interested in this project so far . it has been very useful for communication and also granting high quality videos.
  • - WhatsApp is the most widely use application that gives you a platform to connect with your contacts. - All the chats on this platform are 128 bit end-to-end encrypted that gives the utmost security to its user privacy. - All the chats can be easily backed up on local storage as well as on google drive. It gives the user the flexibility to restore chats on a new device.
  • - Simple and user friendly application - Voice call and video call available - Instantly able to send a message to all over the world - Live-location sharing feature

Cons

  • WhatsApp is a good platform for all my instant communication needs and I have not came across any issues while using it.
  • - The data is stored in the servers, which is a security concern and is not full proof. - you cannot send a video file bigger than 61mb and a document having size bigger than 100 MB, which is one of the biggest cons of WhatsApp. - WhatsApp group accommodates fewer number of people whereas its competitors like telegram accommodates 1000x more people.
  • Sometimes during conversation or video calls the connection get interrupted but I think the is from the internet provider not the application.
  • The chats on WhatsApp are end to end encrypted, however, the backup datastore on google drive is not, So, the WhatsApp user data can be easily hacked if the google account gets hacked.
  • - Privacy policy issues - Media files up to 16mb only can be transferred - Need to share personal number in order to communicate
