Marco PoloThe Marco Polo app allows you to talk to people and while you are doing it you can change the background and it let’s you change your voice.Version: 0.14.143

Marco PoloSo Marco Polo is so fun because I have a friend that doesn’t go to the same school as me and I never see her because she lives in Leicester and we never see each other and then when we go on this app we can see each other..Version: 0.14.252

Why Aren’t There Any Visible Current ReviewsPerhaps it is because the current reviews are too poor and/or too poignant or pointless, I don’t know... but if anyone cares or is listening, I refuse to believe and cannot possibly believe that I would be the first to complain about the new subscription required to access the features that we had before and are no longer present. There’s little to match the need for or the greed for the ol’ mighty dollar; but for whatever the reason for taking away the features... I think it was of the worst and unethical thing to decide to do, than to just sit down and think up additional features that would warrant a subscription to this magnitudes! Your subscription charge is as much as it would be for providing some kind of private phone number or something! It is infuriating.. It’s not that the APP isn’t worth any monetary value to have; but it’s wrong for how you’ve taken away what was given as free features, to now dangle to have them through subscription only. My five star views have now changed to one as a result, and hopefully, if you allow this review to be publicly visible, other users or former users will ask you the same question as in my title... or will at least ask you to undo this and make a Marco Pollo2, for subscription with ADDED features worth the subscription being charged..Version: 0.14.285

👍🏼Fun, great to connect with people internationally, and easy to use..Version: 0.14.111

Used to be my favorite app!Went from a 4.8 star app (a few small glitches) to garbage overnight. I‘ve loved this app for YEARS but don’t even want to open it anymore— I actually dread when someone sends me a video now! Not only did they take away 2x speed.... I can no longer scroll through the videos AT ALL, nor jump forward or back 5 seconds. So I have to pay full, undivided attention without missing a word while listening which is impossible for a busy mother. I’d rather FT, or even record videos on my phone to send back and forth because I can at least scroll through those! “Starting at” $5/mo.... ridiculous. UPDATE: For customers who joined before April 29, 2020 the older version of the app can still be used til Aug 1, 2020 by going to Settings> Help & About Us. I understand that Marco Polo needs to make money and I am willing to pay for this app because it’s that good. However, I maintain that $5/mo is absurd to charge for the same features which have always been included. My recommendation is to instead charge a one-time fee for the app, and to make it a reasonable additional $.99/mo for truly *extra* features. Come on, Marco Polo. You’re gauging your loyal customers and it’s not fair..Version: 0.14.279

Life saverLoving this app more than any other.Version: 0.14.81

Contact with my SonMy son is in New York and I’m in the UK this app is great for us to keep in touch whatever time it is, I know that he’ll be able to know what I’m doing, and if I want to get a message to him he knows what it’s about in advance. Great.Version: 0.14.186

I love this app just don’t like the updateHi thank you for this app it is so much fun , as a home schooler it is great for talking to my friends ! It’s also perf cus I have a hard time getting in contact with some of my friends and this allows me to do that !!! It is my fav app for getting in touch with friends and stuff ! Now this was the best app EVER until the update. It’s not that I don’t like Marco Polo anymore (not at all ) it’s just that it’s to expensive to pay for all the stuff and no one has the money to pay a bunch of money on a app . There was way more to do before the update ☹️.So if it was a slight possibility that maybe the update could get taken away that would be great ! But over all I love this app there is so much to do on it .#1 I love the little voice changers and filters a doodles you can do #2 love that I can see my friends beautiful faces but don’t have to answer the phone (like a face time call ) right there and then I can get back to it when ever . And it’s easy to explain and talk threw .#3 easy to talk threw and fun ! (It would be nice to get a reply ☺️).Version: 0.14.281

Love this appThis is my favorite way to connect with family and friends. It’s personal and I’m my own time!.Version: 0.1321.0

Family favourite!We all absolutely love this app since our family is spread around the world. This gives us a more personal touch on communicating regardless of the time zone. I highly recommend it. 👍👍.Version: 0.14.121

Wish you could downloadLove this app! It has been fantastic for keeping in touch with family overseas :) my only wish is that you could save the videos you take or receive. I send lots of videos of my baby to family and I’m bummed that I can’t keep the moments I capture..Version: 0.14.202

Closer to friends with Marco PoloSince my friend introduced me to Marco Polo I have been closer to my friends who are scattered around the world. It’s so much better to see and talk to them instead of just reading their massages. Best solution for asynchronous conversations in different time zones!.Version: 0.14.112

The best app everI absolutely love this app, I’ve not long been introduced to it but it has been the most incredible thing to improve my contact with some of my very best friends. Keeping in contact is now so much easier, no planning of video calls and no sending hundreds of WhatsApp, this feels real, has brought us all so much closer and I love picking it up and catching up on everyone’s life in my own time and replying when I have time to. It’s a brilliant idea and I highly recommend getting it now..Version: 0.14.281

SavingAll the updates say that you can now save your Polos - you can’t at least no way I can find. Love this app otherwise.Version: 0.14.200

Great Communications App!I’ve just recently downloaded this after hearing other people mention that they were using it. I’m so glad that I did! The app is very well developed and clean, but it also has a refreshing simplicity and isn’t complicated to figure out. After watching a few of the helpful videos, you’re a master. I was raised in the US but I now live in the UK. After an evening of messing around with Marco Polo, I can see the rich implications of this concept. With schedules being so busy these days (not just internationally), I needed another way to keep in touch. One that still feels personal, but is on demand (unlike completely live video chats). Marco Polo looks very promising in fulfilling that role. The hardest part is getting everyone to download the app. That and helping people to overcome their shyness in recording themselves on video :)..Version: 0.14.191

ReviewI really like it and have one comment, maybe a voice recording option if someone doesn't want to send a video of themselves...?.Version: 0.14.172

Great fun!I love how it doesn’t use phone storage!.Version: 0.1320.1

Perfect!Easy to install, easy to use and so so handy to leave messages, especially as a lot of my contacts are overseas and on different times of the day and night. And I can watch their reply messages at my leisure....Version: 0.14.119

Stay at Home Mom Approved!This app has helped this stay at home Mom keep her sanity! It allows me to talk to friends off and on all day so I don’t just feel stuck at home alone. I LOVE being a SAHM but it can get lonely. So it is so nice to be able to talk to someone basically face to face throughout my day. My sister and I live only a few miles a part and yet we’d go weeks without talking to each other bc we were both too busy with our kids. This app has helped us communicate more than we have in years! And it’s so much better than just getting texts or Snapchat. I hate texting now! I’d much rather send someone a Marco Polo bc it’s so much easier and faster, and I can tell them exactly what I want on my own time. I love that we can have a conversation with each other whenever each of us has a chance. Our free time for a conversation doesn’t have to be at the exact time anymore! This app is amazing. My whole family uses it now, and we share a lot through a group chat. It has helped bring our entire family closer. And it’s so much more personal than Snapchat. On Snapchat I’d only send quick little funny messages to friends or a cute video. But this is more for real conversations. And I love that it’s hands free so I can talk to friends while folding laundry!.Version: 0.14.145

Best continuous conversation appBest way to stay connected face to face with friends all over the world in a running conversation that never has to end, I reply in my Timezone at a convenient time, they do the same! Awesome.Version: 0.14.165

SO COOL!!This app is just awesome! Love it, fantastic for keeping life real and people connected. I’m using it for a personal development course I’m doing atm and is such a great tool to keep people accountable and close to each other! Gratitude 🙏.Version: 0.14.313

Give us cool filters!Love the app- been using it daily for years! But I would’ve given it five stars if you guys could really lift your fun game and give us some way better filter action! Snap chat, Instagram, Facebook all have super cool filters in their videos- come on Marco Polo! Join them!.Version: 0.14.210

Used to be 100%... not anymoreSo I have been using Marco Polo for years and have always loved this app however now there’s this new update which is prompting us to pay $60 for the year. I wouldn’t mind if it was all new features but one of the features that I have always used most in the free version was the 2X speed. I’m a little annoyed that instead of adding new options that can be paid for they are taking away some of the options that have been free for years. Honestly, I will probably still bite the bullet and get the paid version because I do love this app and I’m excited about some of the new features but I’m seriously annoyed that they are taking away some of our old free features just to make a buck. I used to suggest this app to my friends all the time and everyone would always download it instantly and used it often because for communicating with people around the world it was so convenient. The likelihood that I will suggest it as often now, is slim to none, because it now that it is a very expensive app if you want to use all the features..Version: 0.14.279

Would have been 5 star.... ☹️👍🏻This is an amazing app and I suggest getting it, but there is one big problem. People who are new to Marco Polo probably won’t mind this, but it bugs me really bad 😩. A while back Marco Polo had all these amazing features like being able to text on Marco Polo when you couldn’t video, sending videos through Marco Polo, sending pictures through Marco Polo, being able to watch the video at two times the speed, being able to send a lot of emojis while watching live, and being able to send a live emoji while watching live (It’s where you video yourself saying something and it will pop up on the screen and the person recording can watch it while still recording). There are probably more features I forgot to name. Well now you have to pay for all those features! I understand adding new features and having to pay for them, but making people pay for features that people have already been using is ridiculous!!! I know the makers of Marco Polo probably ignore reviews like these and don’t even care about if we are upset with this or not, but they should AT LEAST make it cheaper or leave some of the features available😡!!! Other than that I think the app is great 👍🏻. I just hope the makers of Marco Polo will consider changing it..Version: 0.14.296

Marco Polo ReviewMarco Polo is great to connect with friends and family without them having to answer the second you call but it allows you to leave your video message and they can respond back when they are able. It’s nice if you’re at work and can get the message when you’re done working or take the time to respond back. It’s a nice way to hear someone’s full message without interruption and then when you respond you too are able to respond with a full message. Marco Polo does have many glitches though. It often cuts off in the middle of the other persons message saying that the “message was interrupted and they’ll let you know when they are back.” The problem is that it often does not let you know they are back or populate the rest of the message. I’ve also noticed that it will populate the interrupted message once the other person has sent a message back. It also does not always have the videos go through immediately. Many instances I receive 5 videos at once from the previous day. Overall 8 still like the app but if they made these necessary changes it would make it even better..Version: 0.14.270

FURIOUS LONG TIME CLIENTI am absolutely furious and will be canceling any use of Marco Polo moving forward. I have been an advocate and a long-time user of Marco Polo. If anyone has created a buzz about using Marco Polo, advertised about Marco Polo so that their business could grow and more people would use it, it is definitely me. Me and my friends love using Marco Polo because we live far from each other. The other day when I got a new iPhone, it asked me to re-login when I opened the app which happens normally with a lot of apps when you get a new phone. I logged in and the only option Marco Polo gave me was to subscribe toA seven day free trial with a charge of$59.99 there after. There was no option to just keep using the Marco Polo free version. There was no option to not have the Marco Polo plus version. I subscribe to get my seven day free trial so that I could tell all of my friends that we will no longer be using Marco Polo. While I understand that they want to start making money off their app. I would have happily paid even $10 for the app it’s self to continue using the free version. But they did not offer this to us. All they offered was either a subscription that you payFor either yearly or monthly or other various terms but there is no option anymore to have the free version. It is not that great of an app that it is worth paying $60 a year for. There are lots of other options to do FaceTime and video calling with friends abroad. What makes me most furious about this aspect is that I’m not a new client signing up for the first time. Anyone that was already using the free version should obviously get to just keep that and be grandfathered in. And any new clients should be prompted to either get a seven day free trial and a subscription so as far as business practices go, whoever is running Marco Polo is trying to make a fast buck and they are scamming clients that they have already had who have been loyal. I will no longer be one of those clients. I will be taking my mini friends with me and so on and so forth. I’m sure they will also be telling many friends as well what is going on. I am very mad that I was removed from being able to keep the free version just because I switched phones. I had this app already so I find this not only ridiculous but also very underhanded. Is Marco Polo offered the option to re-purchase the app itself for $10 and you could keep the free version, I would buy that. Marco Polo hasn’t even perfected how are you can delete old messages you have to delete each one individually you can’t even press delete all which tells me that there’s not a lot of technology or work going into the app on a daily basis which is another reason why $10 a month or $60 is ludicrous. I will miss Marco Polo to some degree but because there are so many options out there for similar apps and video calling I don’t think I will be stressing about it too much. Goodbye Marco!.Version: 0.14.308

Over 2 years in, here’s my take...I’ve been using Marco Polo to keep in touch with a couple of family members for about two years. In general, it’s a really easy and convenient way to stay in touch and keep track of conversations in a linear way. I’m a little frustrated that they took away some of the features that we used to have in order to add them into the plus/paid version, but I understand that. My biggest gripe is that I have to hold my phone in an upright position the entire time to be able to listen to what my friends are saying. I can’t put it in my pocket and move about my day and listen to them, I can’t let my phone shift position/angle, or I will lose their conversation and have to hit play again. So, in essence, this really is a face-to-face messaging app. That’s fine, as long as your messages are pretty short, but some of our messages back-and-forth are pretty long. It’s really inconvenient to have to hold the phone in a certain way to listen to a message. I have to stop what I’m doing (dishes, walking, etc.) to keep the message playing.I don’t understand the purpose of this, and find it pretty darn frustrating. I am a multiple-Marco-daily kind of person, so this is pretty aggravating. Otherwise, it’s a great app..Version: 0.14.313

Best so far!You know how when you talk or text without being able to filter? This. You speak, you can laugh, cry, swear, call someone out, have a catharsis... And delete. You have great convos with time to think. You see and are seen. It's wonderful..Version: 0.14.144

Love itJust a disclaimer I am not a bot. Me and my friend are in different schools and are very hard to talk this free version helped so much!!!.Version: 0.1385.0

Best video messaging for familiesSo I’ve moved interstate and this app has helped me stay in touch with my family. I know there are other apps like FaceTime and such but this app allows me to still record and keep precious moments with my family. The features and filters are easy and fun to use especially when I talk to my nieces, I use the voice altering feature for a laugh. I feel so connected and enjoy using this on a daily basis. Go use it now!.Version: 0.14.150

FranGreat app, similar to snapchat, quick vids, cute little features,.Version: 0.14.102

Love Marco PoloMy niece asked me to join Marco Polo and I was hesitant at first even though it was free. But what I have come to really love besides the fact that it puts us in contact with each other, is the convenience of Marco Polo. I can talk to anyone in the middle the night when I can’t sleep; I can talk in the early hours of the morning before my day gets started; likewise, I can listen to what they sent to me at My convenience regardless of the time of day or night. You can choose to save your conversations or you can erase them when you’re done with them. For years are used to write letters that took a long amount of time not to mention pains of the all hands; then I sent tape cassettes back-and-forth to people over the states to stay closer; and texting also takes a lot of time! But with Marco Polo, you can talk as much or as little as you want to but the most important part is you can talk whenever it is convenient for you to talk. It doesn’t matter at all whether the person you’re talking to is awake or not because they’re not getting this Marco Polo when you’re making it. They listen to it whenever they have time and that might not be for a day or two or even a week. That’s the beauty of Marco Polo. Marco Polo has put me in touch with people that I otherwise was rarely ever in touch with. I absolutely love it and you will too!.Version: 0.14.186

VivienReally love this App - I have 6 grandchildren under 11 yrs in OZ & 1 10 yrs old in UTAH. So I can keep in touch & enjoy things like plays / presentations they are in at times. Plus chatting to family here - very important just now..Version: 0.14.261

Perfect appThis was introduced to me by family in the States: it’s perfect for different time zones, but also for group catch ups in any time zone. Highly recommended..Version: 0.14.261

Great little appStay in touch with family who live across the pond, nice way of just telling a little story and keeping that connection. Quicker than writing a lengthy message ❤️.Version: 0.14.116

KatieThere’s a few very special people I love to see and be seen by who live far away but are ever in my heart and we are all in busy lives in different time zones and this is a beautiful way of speaking and being heard and listening and seeing each other taking it in turns x x x.Version: 0.14.129

Greatly disappointing (shift in business model)My wife and I have used this app for quite some time with our family. As pretty much everybody here knows, during the COVID peak time this spring, they shifted from a free model to a paid model. They locked features down that were previously free and are charging an exorbitant amount for their plus subscription. They grandfathered prior users in for a bit, but that went away now as well. While I understand the need to monetize, there’s no way I will be paying $20 a month for my wife and me get this app back to the features we had before. Oh, I know we can pay $120 for the year to bring it down to $10 a month (family plan) but that is still a very steep price for something we won’t get that value back from. (I prefer being able to manage my subscriptions on a month to month basis without doubling the price) If a $5 monthly plan worked for two people we would consider it. The second star is for the great concept, but we are highly disappointed with their monetization strategy..Version: 0.14.299

Upgrade ? More like downgrade.As many others have said Marco Polo’s “upgrade” comes across as a poor marketing decision. Every feature aside from the recording of videos themselves has become an up-charge ( 2x’s fast forward, rewinding, recording the bubble when you’re responding to a video, sending a note, sending a picture, etc.) it’s all now ONLY available via plus. Now I was understanding of a need to assist their team / company keep up with demands of increased use due to COVID. However that did not require EVERY capability of the app to be only available with a paid membership. Furthermore a one time fee would be more understandable, but $5 a month fee is excessive and an inconsiderate move towards both long time users pre-COVID-19 and newer users who have relied on Marco Polo as a means to stay connected /maintain their mental health during a time of immense financial instability. Ideally they would have followed suit of many other apps maintaining to users the free version of their app as in and offering a plus version of their app with new features and capabilities However Marco Polo went about it a different route. I am going to go about it a different route as well and I will no longer be using this app I will use Kinzoo instead..Version: 0.14.279

MoascaThankyou for this it is a life line during this weird lock down .we have so much fun with it xxx.Version: 0.14.267

Amazing app...Okay listen, I’ve never written a review on ANYTHING but I just had to write one about Marco Polo. So my friend was like “Get Marco Polo so we can talk more and have fun!” So I got it and was skeptical. I played around sending her(my friend) videos and it was so fun. I love Marco Polo and am now trying to get my cousins to get it. PLEASE NOTE: The reason Marco Polo is getting a four star review from me is because, well, they have some membership think that’s like five bucks a month! And if you don’t have a membership then you can only send videos and you can’t do any of the other cool things like notes, voice messages, live chat, or anything on between. Marco Polo is you are reading this, I am eleven years old and I don’t got membership money! And like heck my parents are going to pay five bucks a month for an app they don’t use! If you maybe had a like a school program where if you entered a valid school email and you got it at a discount or you got it cheaper that would be greatly appreciated! Thanks Marco Polo for being awesome. I even made a funny short film with the filters and voice effects and make and my friend can’t stop laughing! And to you, yes you who read this all the way through, GET MARCO POLO!!! And also have a good day.😁 -A happy Marco Polo user.Version: 0.14.308

Super FunIt's a great way to keep in touch long distance with family and friends..Version: 0.14.49

Great app!!I use this constantly to keep up with friends in different hemispheres! Love it! I wish it paired seamlessly with Bluetooth headphones. You can usually listen to your friend’s messages with headphones, but when you’re recording, it picks up audio from your phone, not your headphones, which makes it harder to multitask!.Version: 0.1393.0

What The Change?!Ok so I have a few friends that have this app and we all use it ALL DAY EVERY DAY!! I hate/despise Snapchat! This app is easy to use and understand!! The ONLY reason I gave it 4 stars is because things like this... and I wish I could add pictures to this review to help illustrate the point I’m trying to make. Used the app this morning and it was the same setup as every other day, midway through the day it updated, or so I thought. The ‘emoji icons’ that where at the bottom of the screen where now on the right side of the screen making it easier to not press one by mistake. There where a couple of other small changes but I don’t remember what they where at the moment because it switches back to how it used to be, hence the ‘reverse updating’ I’m mildly confused/complaining about. I even went through and did a proper update to see if I could get to the ‘new’ changes, nothing. Power cycled my fone, still nothing. Checked for any ‘missing’ updates, none to be found... I really liked the new look and was very pleased with how you ‘cleaned up’ the screen area. Either plz fix it to how it was around 2pm cst or just fix the screen clutter!! Nothing like going to press START and being a 1/10sec to slow and ‘loving’ a message of ‘oh, my moms cat died today...’ OTHERWISE... This is actually a really good app overall. Again my friends, all in other states, use it DAILY!!.Version: 0.14.165

Brilliant appI have shared this app with so many people. I am having fun with an international book group and another local group along with my family and I have set up a group with myself being the only member, to create a journal. It’s is a brilliant way to communicate. Better than WhatsApp. Fab support and a clean ad free app..Version: 0.1378.0

Love Marco!!!I absolutely love this app! It is amazing. We have used it for several years and it enables us to keep in touch as we travel around the world. I have some updates I would love to see in the future. My AirPods don’t continuously stay connected when I’m watching Marco’s. My AirPods work perfectly when listening to anything else on my phone. Can we have an option to lock in the listening to AirPods? I would love to be able to watch Marco’s while doing other tasks on my phone. Can you make it optional for Marco to be screen in screen? Lastly, can we mark polos as unwatched and have that red dot remain? I accidentally touch my screen all the time and my friends are 80 messages ahead of me and then I lose my place when all the red dots disappear. Lol it certainly takes some of the fun out when I stop a Marco to chat back and then I don’t know where I was in the chat. Thanks Marco for your amazing app. I am into my 2nd year as a plus member because I believe in supporting businesses. I love that you are ad free and don’t sell out information. Providing an app is not free and when I break down the price, it’s totally affordable. Thanks for the plus passes so I can show my friends that they need to upgrade as well!.Version: 0.1335.0

Best way to keep in touch when family are far awayMy cousin and I stay on different continents and we use Marco Polo to keep in touch. It’s great because we can send a video and watch and reply whenever we have time. Thank you Marco Polo for bringing me closer to my family 😁❤️.Version: 0.14.158

FriendsI love being able to leave messages and be connected with my friends. They can reply when they have time. It’s brilliant..Version: 0.1364.1

Make this app free again!I love Marco Polo! It’s been a critical part of reconnecting with long-lost friends. I was however, very disappointed when you changed your app’s accessibility. I’m no longer able to continue benefitting from most of the features that make this app amazing without paying the annual fee! While I appreciate the ad free experience that you pride yourself in, you essentially made yourselves no longer a free app in doing so. Which, in my opinion, was also something you initially prided yourselves in. It’s disappointing! Especially to so many users who have been on this app since the beginning! We all went from loving the app to being demoted! You held the best features of the app hostage to those of us who were already using those features- requiring us to pay to keep using them. I think you should have kept all current members with the capabilities they were already used to it in the app and only required new users to incur the annual fee to use the features. I know this has been an extraordinary season! Which makes it that much more amazing to have the use of apps like Marco Polo! I hope you continue to find way to make this app better and most of all, cheaper! 😁.Version: 0.1331.0

Great to stay in touchI really like Marco Polo! It has made it easy for me to stay in touch with my cousin without having to coordinate times that we are both free. We just record messages and can look at them when we have a break. It’s nice to share photos with voice recorded explanations as well. Great app!.Version: 0.14.240

Great Communication - App and the PeopleUPDATE: Really appreciate that I received a quick response! Times are complicated and many spaces need support, so I understand the need for the subscription service. Since MP is a primary form of communication for me, the upgrade was a bit of jarring shift - I could have missed an email or something that went out that detailed the changes beforehand. I appreciate all your work and I appreciate this app! First Review: I’ve been using Marco Polo for quite a while, as it has been lovely in keeping my college group of friends connected and in my long distance relationship. The simple features of the photo and the 2x fast forwarding are part of what made this free app so wonderful to use. I don’t quite understand why the upgrade would make me pay for features that were once free. I know everyone’s trying to navigate finances, but please don’t make us pay extra for things we already had. Subscription based services usually are for things you didn’t have that you would like to start using m. Would love an option to use an older version for those of us who don’t want to utilize plus. Other than this frustrating upgrade, Marco Polo is pretty good..Version: 0.14.279

Learning !!I am a newbie to Marco Polo, and a starting to feel more comfortable with the ease of using it. I live in Australia, and my Daughter is in New York, so we can now video message eachother 24-7..Version: 0.1399.1

The best app for long distance!Marco Polo has enabled me to reconnect with my father who lives in the United States and I have been in Australia 10 years. The quality is superb and we now talk multiple times a day regardless of the time difference. We share moments of our life’s that cannot be translated into words. We share tears and smiles, joy and sadness this app has given me something special back in my life. Thank you to the creators..Version: 0.14.180

I hate the new changes! Can you fix them?This app was absolutely phenomenal with the version you had 3 months ago, but I just now stupidly updated the app and I don’t like the changes. Now I have to pay for the ‘Plus’ version of the app to have the extremely basic feature of being able to skip ahead to any part of a message I am watching, and also now when I am looking at myself on my phone when I’m recording a message, there’s something weird about the frame rate of the video where it’s weird to look at now. I would absolutely love it if you could fix that problem. As far as needing to pay for the app, I love using it so I’m happy to pay for it, but having to pay $60/year just to have the feature of being able to skip to any part of a message seems way too much money. Update: the problem I’m having when looking at my screen when I’m recording myself is that there is a delay on the screen. This was not a problem on your version of the app I downloaded 3 months ago. I really, really, regret updating this app tonight to the current version..Version: 0.14.284

On the go!Great app. Allows you to communicate with loved ones on the go. Too busy to Skype? You can send a video message instantly about your moment to an individual or group. I use it to keep connected with my grandchildren abroad..Version: 0.14.178

Great appWorks well only takes storage space for the app itself not videos inside of it. Lovely for more personal messaging than texts... lets you know if someone has opened your message and when they’re recording as well as if they’re watching live. Really can’t fault as a video messaging service..Version: 0.14.230

People in recoveryI’m one of a group of about 55 recovering drug addicts in the South West of England who’ve formed a group on this app. Our Marco Polo group is a place where we read daily readings and support each other as we share our journey’s of recovery in NA. This little app has been transformative to Our lives, enabling us to feel connected and safe throughout each day, particularly as we live across a rural area where it’s hard to all meet up. The format helps us to feel safe enough to risk opening up and sharing our vulnerability. Where most of us find things like Facebook are new addictions that actually add to our feelings of isolation and obsession, this app is facilitating real intimacy and deepening bonds of connection and belonging that we are all loving. Thanks to everyone who has helped create this space for us! 🙂🙏❤️🙂.Version: 0.14.125

So good!I love how convenient this is to use and how easily I can send videos to my geographically distant family. It's also great that all the videos I make don't use up storage space on phone..Version: 0.14.134

Spontaneous shares with my childWe have now been using Polos as fun spontaneous “gifts” to each other for several years. We live on different continents with wide time differences but Polo is always available, day or night! Very easy and clear..Version: 0.1371.0

Fun AppReal cool.Version: 0.14.92

Marco Polo reviewMy name is Gabriella and I am messaging on my mums phone. I gave Marco Polo five stars because I love how you can do filters for changing your voice high, low, or robot. And also changing the face and scenery behind you and on your face. I would recommend it to a friend or family member because it is an easier way of sending videos on messages and you don’t have to type things ( unless you want to type a message) and it is quick and easy to learn how to do it Thank you Best wishes Gabriella 😝.Version: 0.14.219

Great app but bad video qualityLove the app and will continue to use as long as it’s supported but wished the video quality was much better. While you record yourself it’s perfect, super sharp quality, once video is sent off though it’s terrible..Version: 0.14.155

Marco Polo is YoloMarco Polo is a great app for quick video calls, in a way. It also lets you have cool voice changes like robotic, macho man, helium and more. Try it today! You can invite friends and make groups. If you can’t record a video, it lets you type and move the text around. Cool! 😁😁.Version: 0.14.192

Great for busy long distance friends/familiesMy family all live across an ocean and with time zones and lots of small children and busy schedules it is very hard to find time for video chats etc. Marco Polo has meant we can exchange video messages on our time and view them when we can as well. Great stuff!!.Version: 0.14.185

FunSo much fun to send videos that only end when you say so and to see the people you love and hear there voices in stead of reading their words..Version: 0.1382.1

Great and easy to work outGreat app. Guess it’s a lot like snapchat video but saves them. Would be nice to be able to watch your video before sending just in case you make a mistake. As soon as you press stop it sends. However I’m sure this is because you can watch live. Still great app. I’m sure more people will be using it soon..Version: 0.14.230

Covering the distanceWe love Marco Polo! It has enabled us to leave spontaneous messages for our son, who lives in San Francisco. It somehow feels more immediate because we live in the Uk and for some reason it feels as though the time difference is not so pronounced. Thank you developers! My son is a software engineer and he loves MP too..Version: 0.14.181

Great way to connectI was sceptical at first as my friendship group was using WhatsApp and you could do this anyway. However, it is a lot more seem less in Marco Polo..Version: 0.14.142

Marco Polo even for the old, but young at heart!!I recently turned 50 and have been using Marco Polo to connect with some other old friends from high school and college. I have never left a review for an app before, but I decided to today because I just left a video for my friends and I realized how long it would have taken me to write it in a text or a phone call to all in the group. You get it all done at one time. You don’t feel like you are getting them at a bad time and they are being polite talking to you. I do not really like FaceTiming not sure I guess it’s that I feel like your still could be interrupting them but now you can see it in their face. With Marco Polo you just send and answer on your time. You still get the facial reaction to what you had to tell them and again it is so much faster than texting and you can get across what you want to say by your facial expression. Oh did I mention it’s easy!!! Anyone should be able to use it young and old, personal or work related. Just try it out. There are fun things you can add and funny voices and if you want you can also respond back by text!! Enjoy have a fantastic day!!.Version: 0.14.234

Awesome!!!Love this app! 😊.Version: 0.14.54

Absolutely love itIt’s the best thing since sliced bread when it comes to communicating with everyone, however it drains the battery life fast and uses significant amount of mobile data if you are apart of multiple groups. But other than that, I’m addicted. Thank Marco Polo.Version: 0.14.114

Enjoy this appFantastic app for chatting with friends when it’s convenient for me. Busy household here so I can send a message in my time to friends interstate. It’s like having a cuppa together through the net! Very fun and easy to use..Version: 0.14.186

Great appIt’s a bit strange to talk to yourself but soon you get over it and enjoy the over all experience of video calling your friends and family.Version: 0.14.240

Great for time differencesA very good friend of mine emigrated to Canada a year ago to the west coast - a cool 8 hour time difference which means we never get to speak to each other- Marco Polo has gone some way to remedy that. Highly recommended.Version: 0.14.164

Relationship helpThis app has done wonders for our relationship, it was recommended to us by a therapist and we have been using it for just 2 weeks and our communications improved massively! It’s difficult to sit down and watch some of the videos back, but its helped us to both realise that we need to change and we’ve become a lot more reasonable with each other. Thank you and keep up the great work!.Version: 0.14.276

In this time if Crisis!Had the best mums day as we could! We raised a glass me my daugter& her Nan! & did some marco polo along with face time frm Across the miles! As we sensibly did not catch our 3 trains to meet up! We had the best laugh after a drink or 2,On marco& it cheered me up no end, thanku 👏👍🥳 Roz!.Version: 0.14.257

Really coolJust started using it and so far so good!.Version: 0.14.42

Marco Polo is good. Pro version is great.I really like the simplicity of Marco Polo as an app and all I can say is that the 5 star rating is really due to the pro version. Subscriptions aren’t my favourite and tbh I’d prefer a one-off payment, but it’s a really good app that’s genuinely helped me stay connected with important people in my life..Version: 0.1358.0

Love this !!I got this app as I travel with work and it’s a great way to send video messages to my children. They love filming their message back to me. It’s so easy to use and works perfectly.Version: 0.14.198

Really helpful for long distance relationships/friendshipsI’ve only been using the app a few days with my boyfriend but it has been soooo useful. It is so nice to be able to have regular short minute talks with him and I actually feel like we’re still in the same place together as we’re able to share snippets of life with each other. Highly recommend..Version: 0.14.190

Best messaging app ever!!My three siblings are all over the country so we don't see each other often. And we're all busy so even talking on the phone regularly is a challenge. But with Marco Polo we talk several times a day and now feel so much more connected and closer than ever! It's as if we were living near one another and having coffee daily. We all treasure this app more than you can imagine. We created a channel for talking to my nephew who is in the Air Force across the country and he really appreciates the opportunity to hear our words of support and encouragement. We have another channel with all the nieces and nephews, allowing us to become so much closer. And we have a channel with our cousins in Italy whom we have never met in person, and that has been really awesome!! This app is do much better than Snapchat or Instagram or FB. My only complaint is that as of the last update it is behaving oddly. If I hit the x to exit from a Polo I'm watching so I can jump ahead and record one, it just freezes the screen on the Polo I was watching while the audio keeps playing and I have to force close the app and maybe I can stop the Polo that's playing so I can jump ahead. This happens every time I try to jump ahead to record when I'm listening to a Polo. It didn't used to do that. iPhone XS Max with the latest iOS. Otherwise we all love it..Version: 0.14.193

Brilliant, way better than I expectedThis app is way better than I expected I wondered what the point of it was initially, given that we can just text videos to each other, however it’s much easier to use than that and feels more like a conversation and a text message mixed together! You can pick up where you left off at any time of day, and get back to people when it’s convenient and that’s a huge plus. ***I would love a “but in” button, so that if someone leaves a longer message, and I want to reply at different parts of the conversation before I forget what they said, I could record a reply holding that down, release it and continue watching their video. They would then see maybe 3-4 short videos from me in reply, in sequence..Version: 0.14.258

MongrelBest app I got for communication with my mates world wide have a ball on it and the team help is great sorted my phone problem out straight up great team work love the app heaps better than face book job well done cheers.Version: 0.14.251

ConversationsI’m really not happy about this. I’ve been having conversations on the app for about a month now or possibly two, but anyway recently all of my recordings still appear in the chat but as soon as I finish listening to a polo from my boyfriend it automatically disappears. They only one that I have from him is his very first one, but other than that they’ve all been disappearing which is really annoying because I like to look back at the conversation sometimes. I really need to know if this can be fixed either on my end or by the team. By the way I am a visually impaired Apple voiceover user..Version: 0.14.154

Great appI'm loving it for communicating with my mates over seas. Would prefer that i could find friends through Facebook instead of my contacts as I don't have all their numbers.Version: 0.14.132

Greta funWe are using this while we travel to keep in touch with family and friends. It’s great for when there is time differences!.Version: 0.14.198

Life saverThis app has massively blessed me as it has allowed me to stay in touch with friends abroad. Not everyone likes the format so it doesn’t work for all my friends but for those who do it’s the best thing ever. Time zones are no barrier. We just leave messages and can show each other life. It does use up lots of data if not using it on WiFi but for me it was worth upping my data package to use on 4g..Version: 0.14.180

Connection Rules!I’m on Marco Polo as a way to stay emotionally connected to my support network. I’m an introvert and don’t often feel like talking on the phone. But those moments when I do feel chatty I capture on Marco Polo for the people in my world to see. Love, love, love the face to face connection! I’ve laughed. I’ve cried at the videos people send me on Marco Polo. This is my favorite app. It makes communicating by text seem tasteless cardboard as compared to the previous face to face. ❤️.Version: 0.14.172

Freaking awesome appLove how you can leave a video when you’re free and how others can watch and leave a video back when they’re free. It’s so convenient to have a real life communication experience compared to text!.Version: 0.14.162

New fun way to video messageI really enjoy Marco Polo. I like the fact you can send a message to someone and who hey watch it now or later and reply. I live in a different country than what I was born and raised in so it's a fun way to stay in touch with people in the now.Version: 0.14.110

Good app but not quite thereI like using Marco Polo to keep in touch with my friends in other countries. The video walkie talkie makes me feel like a low level reality star in a confessional hahahahaha. However there needs to be a texting component for when you just can’t talk out loud. Maybe it films you as you type and puts up the letters on the screen as you type so you still get the video recording aspect? Or a DM option. Something..Version: 0.14.154

Love itI enjoy this app so much!! It's awesome!!.Version: 0.14.102

Improvements to be madeHi from England I use Marco Polo every single day numerous times a day and I love it but please can more emojis be made available more affects to be added in regards to drawing tools and easier way of skipping forwards and backwards on longer Marco polos without having to watch from beginning to hitch sometimes happens :).Version: 0.14.139

Works a treatReally nice little app that works a treat for communicating with family and friends. Easy to use..Version: 0.1348.0

Marco PoloIt is a great way to communicate with your friends or family. For instance I live the other side of the world than my family and I speak to them on Marco Polo. For some people it won’t be an app they is needed to them but to me it is..Version: 0.14.244

Convenient and high qualityI catch up with a friend in America everyday on Marco. I’m in Australia, and it’s the next best thing to being there. You can chat by video and you never miss a message. It’s like having an ongoing conversation, easy to operate and Marco stores all of your videos so you can look back at them. I recommend Marco Polo and appreciate that a app developer really understands what the public wants. 5 Stars..Version: 0.1324.0

L❤️VE THIS APPI like the app because it allows users to send and receive videos when it’s convenient. It’s hard to FaceTime when people have different schedules and live in different time zones. Besides, I love getting video messages over text messages because I can tune into the persons mood, I love to see their face, it just makes me feel like I’m closer and it’s made all the difference! I have friends who have use this and loved it with their grandchildren! I personally started using it when I was homebound for an extended period of time due to illness and getting video messages from friends was always a highlight! My only suggestion (and reason I gave it four stars instead of five) would be to not make people wait for some of the “bells and whistle’s”. Sometimes it’s the little things make the app much more interactive and fun. Why not give those to everyone so they have a full experience from the beginning? At the time I’m writing this you have to have been a user for 30 days AND have sent at least 50 video messages. I don’t think people view getting to use emojis while watching live as an incentive to keep using it as much as they might see it as a reason to quit using it. The more interactive the two parties can be the better. Otherwise great app..Version: 0.14.125

Changes to plus very annoying, hate it.Sad about.Version: 0.14.291

Great for extrovert stay at home momsAs a mom at home with three young kids who can't text or even FaceTime easy without my kids trying to cause the apocalypse in my house because I'm talking to any other humans besides them, Marco Polo is a great alternative for me. I can send or receive short messages with other adult humans that take little effort and I can watch and respond when I'm able to!.Version: 0.14.110

MPA great way to instantly communicate with your loved ones over seas.Version: 0.1381.1

Great app!I love this app it is a great way to stay in contact with friends and family I use every day, the only complaint i have is that I have regular issues with sound not playing I have to turn my phone on and off I would love a fix to be released for that..Version: 0.14.257

Deeper friendshipsI heard about this app and decided to download it and invite the women from my weekly church small group to join. We began a group chat that just has not stopped or slowed down one bit! I didn’t think it would be such a hit or so well used, but everyone loves it. We check in with each other nearly every day. Sometimes for small, funny moments. Sometimes for deeper, longer or more serious reasons. But the overall effect has been a much greater connection than we’ve ever had- and our group has been together for about seven years! There is just something so much more intimate and connective about seeing each other (seeing people in their environment, hearing their inflections and watching them process through thoughts vs. a well composed or edited text message). Compared to texting, which was our most used form of communication before, this goes way beyond. With busy days and conflicting schedules (and boisterous children), it’s almost impossible to have any kind of regular phone conversation. This app makes it feel as though you’re entering the other person’a day and they are a part of yours in a much more fun and dynamic way. I wish we would’ve discovered this sooner!.Version: 0.14.190

Great for keeping up with loved onesI love this app! I can send mini recorded messages which are all stored in app to my family and boyfriend who I've moved away from . It's such a great tool for sending funny messages too, I highly recommend this app :).Version: 0.14.185

Love itSo easy to keep in touch with family overseas and I love being able to go back and replay previous messages. A great video journal. 🌟.Version: 0.14.222

Great for long distance relationships!Currently in a long distance relationship with my girlfriend, i love Marco because you can pop a quick video throughout the day - sharing those small things here and there and it saves your videos! This helps as sometimes something you wanted to talk about you may forget when your actually talking on FaceTime whatever..Version: 0.14.177

Almost PerfectI absolutely love this app! I use it quite often and it comes in handy when I can’t text or want to pair visuals with the message. I feel like this app could be the next platform to blow up, but there is one major problem: On my device, about half the times I try to use Marco Polo, a huge glitch comes up. When I click on a video to watch, it will work for about 1-2 seconds then the screen goes black. The audio still plays but the screen stays black. If I tap the screen nothing changes, but if I press the home button, the video will work for a couple seconds before going black again. Even pressing the power button doesn’t work. The only way I can shut down the app is either waiting for it to crash, or pressing the home button multiple times until the home screen finally appears. I have tried to reinstall the app in case there was a patch or the glitch was a one-off thing on my phone but the issue continued. This is a huge issue that would deter people from using the app. It seems like the customer service here is great so I hope the glitch is taken care of soon if it’s affecting others as well. I have an iPhone by the way, in case that makes a difference. Many thanks for reading my complaint, and good luck with your business. 🙂.Version: 0.14.212

Obsessed with Marco Polo!This app is brilliant! As an expat living in Australia, I use it daily to keep in touch with friends and family in the US. It really helps me stay connected and removes the time difference issue. Five stars!.Version: 0.14.256

Fabulous appLove this app, love the filters and the fact you can type if you want and you can fast forward. Highly recommend it..Version: 0.14.78
