About this app

ONE VIDEO IS WORTH A THOUSAND TEXTS
Communicate face-to-face in a private, ad-free space with no interruptions or intrusions. This award-winning video chat app isn’t social media. There are no “likes” or comparisons, and there are no tricks to keep you on the app for longer than you wish.

SIMPLE, CONVENIENT, ANYTIME CONNECTION
Send a video. Get one back. Talk one-on-one or in groups. Continue the conversation on your own schedule.

I use this app a lot and am a paid subscriber, but I HATE the constant "So and so is on Marco Polo. Say Hi!" I don't care and don't want to be bothered with notifications of this kind. Yet, there is apparently no way to turn this off without turning ALL notifications off. Which I have now done. Please fix this, I hate it, but until you fix it, my friends send me Polos that I don't know about until I open the app. But I would rather that than constantly getting useless notifications.

I love this app so much and have been paying for it since you implemented that. But the app absolutely will not run in the background regardless of which mobile device I'm using. As soon as it starts playing in the background again this will be a five star review. I use this app more than any other. Both Samsung Galaxy 24 and Google Pixel 8 this app won't run in the background. So I'm not able to listen to messages unless the app is open

DO NOT DOWNLOAD THIS APP! This app gets WORSE with every update! Simple things like favoriting a specific video, rw/ff, adding filters used to b standard functionality that was FREE, and now they are pulling those to get you to purchase their premium version. I should've stopped using this app long ago but I still hav a few friends that use it. I'd rate this neg stars if I could. Find an alternative.
