Easy

Bro I tried Marco Polo and was not sure at first but it is soooooo much better and easier than texting sometimes like when I wake up in the morning I don’t want people to see my face and then I love it at the same time 🩵

ITS SO COOL

I love it so so much!! I’m able to connect with my friends expressively without using 5,000 emojis to project

Wish it showed time stamps

My friends and I recently switched to Marco Polo and it’s made it easy to keep in touch since we’re all married with young children. My main issue though is that I can’t see how long my video is while
I record. So I can easily send a message thats 5+ mins long. If I could see the time stamp I’m real time it would help me to wrap up my thoughts much quicker😩

Great app

There’s just too much content that is locked behind expensive subscriptions.

Update

I need the features to work again.
