Marco Polo - Video Messenger Android

Marco Polo - Video Messenger

Video chat that brings you closer without asking you to compromise on trust.

Features & Capabilities

Marco Polo is a private, ad-free video messenger that lets you communicate face-to-face without the pressure of social media. Send a video, get one back—one-on-one or in groups—on your own schedule. Enjoy unlimited chats and groups, emoji reactions, fun special effects, and Sharecast: broadcast a single video to your circle while keeping replies and reactions private to you.

Built around trust and well-being, Marco Polo avoids likes, endless feeds, and data-selling. Marco Polo Plus adds premium features like 1.5–3x speed control, background listening, custom and animated emojis, and Plus Passes to share free months with friends. A Plus Family plan covers up to six memberships. The app is designed to be simple, secure, and research-focused—prioritizing privacy, responsible monetization, and meaningful connection.

User Reviews

Users praise Marco Polo for its expressive, replayable asynchronous video messaging and its ease of use for staying in touch with family across distances, with a privacy-conscious approach. However, recurring concerns center on pricing (rising costs and paywalling), reliability issues (glitches/crashes), and notification problems (delayed or missed messages).
Pros
  • Asynchronous video messaging with facial cues and tone, plus the ability to replay messages for better understanding.
  • Easy to use and personal to communicate with loved ones without the pressure of immediate replies.
  • Great for staying connected with family and friends across distances, and works across Android and iOS.
  • Privacy-oriented design that feels healthier than many social apps.
Cons
  • Pricing and paid model are major drawbacks: rising prices, upsell prompts, and features gated behind the paywall.

I stopped using this app over a year ago...close to 2 years. They changed there policy in that time and started charging me for a plan I never agreed to. They just took money from me and they have made it extremely hard to cancel the subscription. it's not present in the app and the instructions they provide to cancel is hard to follow because they direct you to the Google play store to cancel and there is no info provided there to do so! I am so frustrated with this company!.

This app is worth every penny. My dad recently passed away unexpectedly and we have all his past videos available for download. There would have been no way to capture his laugh and silly stories if we had been using FaceTime. Thank you for this blessing.

All of a sudden, it's putting me on privacy mode regardless of good lighting and a clean camera lens. Seriously, can't lose any more stars at this point. the app is great when it works, but there's no consistency and the developer really doesn't care to fix the bugs. I used to recommend this to everyone, but I'm on the verge of deleting it because it's trash.
