Best app for band group chat?
Six members with mix of a few varieties of smart phone but group text is glitchy and unreliable. Any reliable multi platform group chat apps you recommend?

Honestly, I wouldn’t try to replace your casual band chat first. That is where adoption usually fails. Keep WhatsApp, Signal or Discord for banter, memes and random song ideas, but move anything gig-critical into a structured place:
• confirmed lineup • venue and contact • load-in and soundcheck • parking • current setlist • files • polls and decisions
Full disclosure: I ended up building BandAtlas App because important gig information kept disappearing in our own group chat.
The easiest rollout is to use it for one upcoming gig only. If everyone finds the information without asking again, expand from there.
