Wp7 is a very fast growing OS I think it would be in your best interest and everyone's best interest if you were to make one for the wp7 OS. And let's face it, we feel left out.

WP7.5 reportedly will have a group messaging & conversation threads. What are your thoughts on how it will impact GroupMe for Windows Phone?

Just installed this. Thanks.

I know this is a preview but here are some suggestions -

1. On the iphone I can see all the contact details of members on my groupme.

2. We really need to use the great metro UI of the winphone7. Currently there is zero usage of this.

3. I see that I am able to delete members even when I am not the creator of a group, not sure if you allow this on the iphone.

4. I am not allowed to add a profile pic to my settings on the application.

5. When I go in a group, no matter what page I am (Chat, Members, Call) I see a send and a refresh button at the bottom of the page. That needs to go.  

6. I cant see pics of users who have added pics to their profile.

7 Also, it seems like there is sometimes latency in getting the messages. While the messages are being populated on the group's Chat screen, it will show blank messages, with Time 1/1/2001 12:00 AM

8 I cannot attach pics?

Again, thanks for building this. Please keep the updates at a good pace. There is a huge community for this in WinPhone7.

Hi J, thanks so much for your feedback. We're already planning our next release and we'd love to talk more with you about what you'd like to see in the app to make it the best WP7 experience possible. You can reach us in the app via the "Email Feedback" in settings, or at wp7@groupme.com.

The preview looks promising. There are a few UI things which I thought seemed a little out of place. WP7 buttons usually are not filled with any color, just a box with text in it. For consistency sake, I'd love to see GroupMe do the same. Also the background didn't seem very panoramic, but I hope the final version will be a panorama with Home, Contants, Featured, News etc as pages in the panorama. Other than that, it looks like a good start. As long as you guys don't leave out any features available on other platforms, the app should be fantastic on WP7.

And just wondering, what's the time frame when you're planning on coming out with the full version?

Hi guys, We decided to take the preview app off the market place because it was very buggy. We have a brand new, revamped version coming out VERY VERY soon. Stay tuned for updates! #)
