Comments on Marco Polo - Video Messenger for Android

★★★★★ Ingrid Blackburn · Jun 28, 2026

Great way to stay in touch. I've used it daily for three years. Is reliable. Only hack I need is when sharing a photo... I need to switch to a different app in my android then switch back for my photo to show as a recording. Paid version is worth it over the free. Love the gifting a few months of paid version to others too. Biggest selling point is unlimited recordings. I'm able to keep up on deeper relationships and develop newer ones with close friends and family as a result of MP.

★★★★★ Katherine Bourke · Jun 30, 2026

I absolutely LOVE using this app to keep in touch with my friends and family. It's quick and sooo much fun, especially when I receive one😁. What a GREAT idea this app is. TY MARCO POLO🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

★★★★★ Juanita Wood · Jul 2, 2026

Great app for sharing videos with family

★★☆☆☆ Henley McIntyre · Jun 10, 2026

It worked well the first few weeks, and then it wouldn't let me send or listen to any polos

★★☆☆☆ Miss Lucky Ducky · May 26, 2026

There is no option to delete contacts on the app. Even if you delete/block someone they will still be in your contacts. Even if you remove their number from your phone completely, they will still be in you Marco Polo contacts. There needs to be an option to remove people.

★★☆☆☆ Jared Butler · Jun 29, 2026

Whoever is in charge of product/engineering needs to do some serious work on the text transcripts. More often than not, if the speech in a video isn't crystal clear it usually outputs some sort of unintelligible sanskrit text nonsense, or something very inappropriate. Either way the video transcripts are wrong 100% of the time. It's comical in the AI enabled world. Also, don't send me "urgent" notifications about upcoming video deletions. Most people would not define that as urgent.
