My team and I are currently using TOUCH but are looking to use a different type of communication app but not sure what to chose. Just downloaded Palringo but not sure if we want to take that route. Any suggestions?

Don't do palringo.
Kakao and Groupme are by far the top 2.
They all suck but Kakao is the best.Quote:

I didn't like palringo at all when my KA guild leader wanted to use it, at least on a phone. I'm told it's better on a computer. Anyway, that team now uses groupme which is much better, although the version I'm using now has a few annoying quirks of behaviour. Groupme will also want you to input your phone number, which some people understandably object to.
On that subject I read recently that in the uk the telephone regulator Ofcom maintains a range of fake phone numbers which can be used in movies or tv shows etc. if your country has a similar band of fake numbers it could be an option to avoid having to use your own.
Back to the question, the other app I use (for my current CC syndicate) is kakao. Either are good. Groupme is designed for groups as the name suggests. There's an initial limit of 50 people per group but it's pretty easy to get that made larger. I'm not sure how creating groups in kakao works, but the app works well
LINE chat app.
I've used Palringo, Kakao and Groupme, and of the three, Groupme is by far the best. Clean, isn't too much of a resource hog, and you can log in via web browser, not just on your device. Super easy to add people and make new groups, too.
Kakao has some nice features, but it's... strange. I never did figure out how to add people I wasn't already in a group with as friends, and I got pretty tired of all the Kpop ad spam. Also has some problems on Android in my experience, not sure if that makes a difference to you.
Palringo is terrible -- has ads, clunky UI, only updates the last five or so messages at a time when you scroll up. Avoid at all costs.
Groupme for sure
I have used Kakao, Line, GroupMe and Palringo.
Found Kakao the worst of them all - does not have a stand alone iPad version and no access from PC
Line does not have a stand alone version for iPad thou but can use from PC, LIne also has cool stickers you can add into chat as well as emotes
Group Me has challnges with maximum amount of members in rooms (50) - has iPad version and PC access, GroupMe has a cool thumbs up feature - good for roll calls
Palringo has no challenges with use
Hope this helps bro :)
All the top teams use KakaoTalk or GroupMe.
I think KakaoTalk is the best.
I use kakao quite happily on my iPad. Ok, it's not designed for it but works well enough.Quote:

kakao the best
Groupme hands down. I use most apps for chatting with other groups and recruiting, but Groupme takes the cake. Easy UI, excellent customer service, ability to REMOVE PEOPLE (huge), easy to make new chats and take votes, etc. only bad thing is I have an issue with my contacts, which customer service is looking into and sometimes the messages lag a little.
Good for iPad, iPhone, or PC.
Out of the choices touch is the only one i haven't used . i have always found groupme the best app for my andriod phone and my ipad.
