Keep your group in sync with the tap of a finger.
New group app creates a better way to not only communicate with members, but also manage activities, finances and group decisions when apart. Grapp is the newest app for those who crave more organization, communication and efficiency in their team activities. Grapp allows groups and societies to organize a private cluster of contacts by emails, phone numbers and/or Facebook names to stay connected with their crew. Though Grapp was originally intended for managing Greek life, its applicability is endless. Whether you need to stay in contact with your soccer team, film club, fraternity, family or Dungeons and Dragons party — Grapp functions can benefit you.

But why use Grapp when you can use GroupMe or Facebook groups? Grapp, released this past February, takes a more intricate approach to organizing groups. With GroupMe, users have access to communication functions, while with Facebook groups, users have access to communication, events and voting. However, Grapp takes digital organization to the next level, combining the capabilities of four or five apps into one simple, easy to use app. Grapp includes functions for communication, voting, events, finances, calendars, private messaging and the ability to collaborate with other groups on Grapp.
Grapp minimizes the time its members spend meeting in person to discuss issues and participate in various tasks, but when you do meet in person, Grapp can take attendance for you. Grapp’s communication features enable users to access the Phone Book tab to find contact information on each member, and send public messages to members via the Group Chat tab. In addition to group messages, users may also send private messages to a member within their group to avoid spamming all the group members with notifications. The voting feature allows users to pose questions to the group and come to a final decision on issues from selecting a new chapter President to which kind of pizza to order for next week’s meeting.
You’ll never be out of the group loop again with Grapp. When you’re interested in what’s happening around town, Grapp shows you newly uploaded photos and T-shirts, and tells you about events that are nearby for your group and groups you interact with. If you’d prefer to hang out with a few close members of your crew, Grapp permits you to designate your event as private.

Thanks to Grapp’s relationship with a third party fiscal app, users can also buy and sell these T-shirts and other merchandise within Grapp. Five percent of dues paid by members go to credit banks, however the first 50,000 dollars in fees are service charge free.
The financial capacities of Grapp are innovative and safe, requiring users to enter a group code before accessing its monetary features. Members can be classified as President, Treasurer, Active Member, New Member and other positions of authority, so that responsibilities and freedoms can be assigned. All members are given access to functions like group messaging or viewing the public calendar, while only members holding specific positions within an organization may bill members or commission a vote.
Keeping members accountable for dues, fees and reimbursements is made easy and more effective. Instead of hounding members for last semester’s debts, users can rely on the app. Grapp scans and sends receipts for compensation, shows you how much you owe and can also send your more financially delinquent members to collections. Grapp is able to charge admission to your fundraisers and events as well.
What Grapp does best is simplify the many needs and activities of an association and compile them in one place. Now available in version 4.203 for Grapp consumers is Apple Watch support, allowing members to attend or decline events, view nearby chatter about events and vote directly from the device. The user interface has also been simplified for consumer convenience. Grapp is free to download from the App store, and is also available for Android and online use. To stay connected with your contemporaries, get organized and manage your activities, try checking out Grapp.
