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.

Great app for sharing videos with family

I enjoy this app for being able to connect with groups of friends that are across the country. it helps us stay in touch in-between meet-ups. my frustration as a paid user is that transcript summaries can be in random languages that I do not recognize. This needs to be fixed.

Me*****, 2026-07-01

Been using this app for a year to keep in touch with my sister. More personal than texting and easier to work around our own schedule than a phone call. Cons: no timer while recording, no pause button while watching, and occasionally get a video that refuses to play and you can't record the next one until the sender deleted it on their end.
