Customer Reviews
Useless except for reading
This is easily one of the worst apps I have ever wrestled with. I was so excited for this one and it is flat out awful. I haven't been able to comment on any groups for two days because every time I hit the comment button, the post button turns into an emoji button and doesn't switch back, so I have no way to actually post what I write. 50–75% of the time, I cannot back out of a post after I've hit the comment button and have to close the app out entirely and start all over. The notification numbers shown on each group in the group menu page are often wrong (it will say I have unread posts in the group when I don't).
If you are fine with just reading posts and not interacting with them (other than to "like" them) then you will probably be fine. But if you're hoping, like I was, to be able to engage more efficiently with your groups, then don't bother with this. It'll just stress you out.
Great concept, terrible app
I was so excited when I found out there was a specific FB app for groups. I'm in a lot of groups, and mainly I like to look at videos, photos, and comment on things. I also like to read the comments. But this app makes that so difficult. I wish it was set up more like the regular FB app just centered on groups. For example, looking at a group's picture albums. You can scroll through the pictures and see them tiny, but you have to click each one individually to make it bigger. From there, you can't just flip through like you can on the FB app. So you have to constantly exit picture and click the next one. Also when watching live videos, you can't see or type comments like you could on the FB app. This app just has a lot of updating and fixing that needs to be done before it can live up to the potential it has.
FB Groups is broken crap
I was excited to use FB Groups because I was hoping it would let me focus on the highest quality interactions. But the app is so buggy and broken that half the time I just bounce out of it back into the regular app to do anything. If you try to reply to a comment it constantly wants to autopredict someone's name to tag, making it practically impossible to write a comment more than a line or two. The Groups get re-sorted randomly every other time I go into the app, so I have to waste time looking for the Group I want to check, instead of going right to where it was last time. And half the time when I try to open any videos etc, the app freezes with a black screen for like 45 seconds, locking my whole phone up. I'm going to stop using it until the next update, and if these things aren't fixed, I'll just delete.
