45 Positive User Reviews for Marco Polo

Powerful platform

I am a fan. It has helped me come out of my shell and find a bit of comfort looking at myself knowing it is being recorded. Been a great confidence booster for my self esteem and what it has done to help me get to know a friend way better is amazing. I love it

Awesome!

If you are an introvert and hate FaceTime, get this app. Or you could just text lol.

So much help

This app helps us feel closer, cause we all live in different states!!! I love it!!! Thank you!!!

Pretty good, but missing a major feature

Marco Polo is really pretty good, the pop up ads are a bit aggressive but manageable. What the app really needs is the ability to set a timer to videos auto delete. If this gets added then Marco Polo will be pretty perfect

Family connections

Our large family stays connected with Marco Polo. I like I can do it at my convenience. Only change is I wish we could still rewind a Polo like we used to, interruptions happen and I missed something and I don’t have time to rewatch the entire Polo. Overall a wonderful invention!

Love this app

I loooooooooooooooooooooooovvvvvvvvvvvvvveeeeeeeeeee this app

Suggested Feature

Great app. Could you add bullet points to notes?

The reason why this app is amazing for talking with family and friends

This is a great app to communicate with your family and friends and help communicate with people across the world and in different countries Again thank you and your welcome for giving a good review you deserve it from all the hard work you put in through this app and helping others around the world get in contact with other loved ones.

GREAT

Great. No other words for it

internet

i think this app should run off no internet so if your camping or something g then you can contact your loved ones!🤩🤩

Review

You should not have to pay for stuff plus you need to have a video of everything you can do for helpful reasons

Basic necessities for the app overpriced

$120 a year for ease of using the app is ridiculous. I love the app but hate the gouging to have ease of function with it.

Great app. I was wrong about the Bluetooth.

As is per usual, my previous complaint turned out to be a user error.

Great way to keep in contact with loved ones!

I love the Marco Polo app! My daughters live far enough away that I can’t see them in person as often as I’d like to. We set up a three way Marco and send each other video messages a couple times a week. They are the highlight of my day and I feel so much closer to my daughters. Try it!

Features

I don’t like the upgrade

Fun

I love it and I can talk

MorcI polo

I love how you can talk to family and spend time with them while they’re far away

Expensive

The app is cool but way to expensive for what is offered in the paid version

Great message system

This has allowed me to send quick messages and be in touch with my family daily. I love it!

This is a amazing app

This app is great because you can talk to friends you haven’t seen in a while or that live in another state. It is a safe app because you can only be friends with someone if they are in your contacts.

A godsend

My friends and I all love Marco Polo, but we do not understand why on earth the developers do not use the open API that connects the microphone function of the iPhone with Bluetooth headphones built-in microphone, so that when you record a video on Polo, it pulls the audio from the Bluetooth headphone and not from the air outside.

Love Marco Polo

What a great ap

To many in app purchases

I wish this was like a free app. I love this app. It’s literally the best because my friend has a Samsung so she can’t FaceTime so this is like perfect but there’s so many in purchases. It’s crazy.

Luv it but….plz reply to this plz plz plz

I love this my family and friends have this and I know how to use it but it asks for a number to sign in and I don’t have a number I only have an email and it won’t let me sign in if I use my moms number plz let people sign in with their email plz plz bc I rly want the app and it’s amazing but I can’t bc I can’t have a number so plz let people sign in with an email thank you plz reply to this

Communication

Still a pretty good source to use, easy to use

Sambo chat with Family🖤👨‍👩‍👦‍👦

Families all over the world we chat on Marco Polo anytime anywhere perfect app no stress get caught up when we miss 17 or 70 messages

Easy to operate!

I am loving this app for video sharing with my friends. It works perfectly.

Amazing and worth getting

I have had Marco Polo for two years and it is so great, I use it almost every day with my friends and family it’s a way to connect to your loved ones that you don’t see every day, you can catch-up on them make plans or just talk, I love Marco Polo so much and it’s definitely worth getting I don’t really see anything that I don’t like about it

Why it works and doesn’t work

It doesn’t give me seconds and sometimes it won’t work. But I would still recommend this app if it works for you.

Video Quality

I like marco polo, i’ve had it for awhile because it can be easier to send videos of myself talking to people rather than calling or texting at times. my only complaint is that the video quality is super low. Please look into this!

Love/Hate Relationship

A couple years ago, this would’ve been 5 stars, but recently Marco Polo has put every feature behind a paywall which makes the app kinda useless/inconvenient unless your willing to pay for a subscription

Great way to keep in touch

I love using this app to stay in touch because you can see people and send long videos without them saving on your phone:) But you can also go back and re-listen to them if you want and respond whenever! So that’s great. However, I gave it 3 starts cause it can be pretty glitchy and the sound goes in and out and the notifications are not always the best and I miss them easily because of that.

Next door

This is a wonderful way to have time with my granddaughter who lives 12 hours away. She tells me about her day and we keep in touch and I get to see her lovely face and see talk and smile. It’s a brilliant way to have time with her as if she were next door!

Love the app

This app was perfect with engaging with your friends and family and this is the perfect way to introduce kids into social media I told everyone about this and everyone leaves a five star at this app leaded me closer it to the people I love and care about thank you for making it lol

Marco Polo

Marco Polo is a Great way to connect with your besties. 🫶🫶🫶💕💕💅💅

Marco Polo

Marco Polo is great but you should not have to pay to have Marco Polo plus

Amazing App!

I started using MP shortly after Covid in 2021. It has helped me connect with friends and family so much more than before. I pay for the family plan, it is 1000% worth it. I talk with my friends 24/7. It’s been very helpful for my friend who struggles with isolation and depression! I am so thankful for this app! Thank you to the developers!!!

Amazing Quality:)

Since my cousins live far away, this is how we talk with each other. It’s amazing, and works very well. One thing I don’t like is there is only 3 voice changes, how about like a Kermit the frog one ? I would love new voices. But all together it’s AMAZING! ❤️

Marco Polo

Marco Polo is great, but the only thing I don’t like about it is that you can’t see your video before it posts. Other than that I think it is great!

Notes issue

I’m a paying subscriber and can write notes for each strand but I noticed today that all my strands are sharing the same note! This is terrible. Now I can’t watch different strands and write notes bc I don’t want to delete the notes for the other polo. Pls fix this back to the way it is where each strand has its own note page!!!!

Three stars

Too much upselling, and the suggested contacts at the bottom can’t be hidden. Other than that, fine.

Marco Polo

This is an amazing app you can communicate with whoever u want and whenever you want ! I really love it and I think you will too!❤️❤️

Problem with sending

I can’t choose not to send something.

Good, but

I have a iPhone 12 mini, I could send the same video twice, but on Marco it’s like I recorded it from a leap pad that I have when I was 7 it’s a bit annoying having a camera that can take pretty close to movie quality photos and videos that sends it like I’m in a ps2 game
