Unite - GroupMe app

By Furnace Creek Software LLC

Description

Unite is a simple and easy-to-use GroupMe app for the Mac. It allows you to send and receive GroupMe messages, all in a native macOS app. You can even share files, images, locations, GIFs, and emoji with your family and friends, right from your Mac! Local notifications alert you as new messages arrive, so you'll never miss a message. What's more, badges on the app icon show how many unread messages you have. Unite allows you to save and zoom in on any images you receive. You can also view locations your friends send you on interactive maps. If groups get too distracting, Unite allows you to pin important groups and mute chatty ones. Unite also features powerful group management tools, allowing you to create, join, rename, share, leave, and delete groups. You can even add or remove group members, as well as view past groups you've been in, right on your Mac. # Features - View all of your active GroupMe groups and chats. - Send messages, images, GIFs, files, locations, emoji, and more. - Receive local notifications as new messages arrive. - View locations sent to you on interactive maps and zoom in on pictures. - Heart messages with one click and view their like counts. - Create, join, rename, share, and manage groups. - Maintain focus by pinning important groups and muting spammy ones. - Customize the app to show up in the status bar or start at login. - Enable or disable badges on the app icon. - Navigate the app with keyboard shortcuts. - Enjoy the only native GroupMe client on macOS. Please note not all features of the GroupMe platform are available in Unite as it relies on the public GroupMe API and is not affiliated with Microsoft.

    I like how you can add and remove people to the group no matter what platform they have. If everyone just had iphones i can do the same thing in imessages but when you get a android you cant edit the group you have to make a new one. So that is my postivities to this site. The only draw back is i am limited to the amout of words per message which make me have to send more than one most of the time. So outside of that it is a great tool.

    Minimal features, but if you're just looking to communicate via your Mac, it works great.
  • Great Way to Use GroupMe on a Desktop

    Using Unite stops me from having to switch devices all of the time. My only issue with it is that I don't think it has an easy way to search for prevous files that have been shared in your groups. If that's not a big deal to you, then this is a great solution.

    My wife chats me and her. chats don't show up even when I have the window open. No notifications come through when she chats. It only works for reading what's already. there. To see new stuff I have to switch away from my conversation to another one and then go back to it. Very frustrating.
  • Very high CPU usage

    Installed and the app was using over 25% of my CPU. Its not good if you're using a macbook air. If you are using an Air I'd avoid at all costs
  • Mostly like this app

    Sometimes this app loses connectivity for no reason when everything else is working great, but i'd say it works great about 75% of the time. I use it a lot for work so it's convenient to be able to type and share actual files.
  • Can't Send Attachments???
