They need to get the weird glitches under control! I need to delete and redownload the app often to get it working well again. ### 3/5 — 3 stars *2025-02-07, version 5.2* Bc the app freezes on me often ### 3/5 — 3 minute recording limit for free version *2025-02-05, version 5.2* I'm looking for an alternative to Marco Polo. I want to be able to skip ahead/fast forward without paying for it, but 3 minute recording time for the free version is not where it's at 😂 ### 5/5 — I love Volley! *2024-02-20, version 5.1.20* I love Volley, and I’m excited to hear that they will be relaunching soon! ### 5/5 — Yes *2023-05-03, version 5.1.20* Enjoyed Volley and so did my clients. Sorry it closed. ### 5/5 — Incredible company incredible product❤️ *2023-04-08, version 5.1.20* Volley has been an invaluable tool for our personal development coaching business. With its platform, we have been able to easily create a sense of community and strengthen relationships with our teams. Over the past year, we have seen firsthand how Volley makes it effortless to follow and celebrate the progress of our clients as they navigate their personal journeys. Now I’m using aspects of what I learned, to scale and create topical spaces for people to go faster and farther than they can go alone. I hope that someone picks this concept and resurrects such goodness! ### 5/5 — Great Platform *2023-03-29, version 5.1.20* For the time ive used it I gained a new mentor in my journey as a NSA. Great way to send messages video or voice with text inscribed for the other person to read it too. ### 5/5 — A Coaches Dream App *2023-03-18, version 5.1.20* If you have clients all over the world, you are going to love this app. It’s amazing it is taking my coaching to a whole new level. It works on everything. It is super reliable and what are you waiting for? Quit reading this and install it! ### 3/5 — Incorrect badge count *2023-01-28, version 5.1.14* Here are several glitches that have not gone away with the most recent updates: - when using Bluetooth earbuds or CarPlay, I often get a “no sound detected” message and whatever I recorded is erased; it is really frustrating because it happens nearly every time I connect my phone - the menu to insert files is way too easy to accidentally press when recording / listening pausing what you’re doing within the app -the badge count of unheard volleys is always incorrect; I get them even when I’ve exited and force closed the app and listened to everything I’ll reassess my rating once these glitches are addressed. ### 5/5 — Volley App *2023-01-27, version 5.1.14* Love it!! It included photos, videos, giphy, emojis, background colors! ### 5/5 — Please don’t ever invite me to a meeting again. *2023-01-20, version 5.1.14* This technology is really swell. I’m not one of those young kids who can figure use all types of SnappityTok apps. If I can use this, anyone can. It’s a genius way to efficiently communicate. ### 5/5 — The future *2023-01-02* Volley is leading edge, representing where more interactive and value-driven communication is headed. ### 4/5 — FOR THE LOVE OF GOD MAKE A DARK MODE *2022-12-29, version 5.1.10* It’s 2023…. PLEASE MAKE A DARK MODE ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Two dates why? *2025-06-12, version 5.2* Can’t reach you at the support service. No direct chat because that will help deaf friendly user. Notification badges stuck and I opened my app. See nothing. It’s annoying. I checked to see who left message or whatever. This needs to work on badly. Updated. Very disappointed. You said you’ll delete my chats past thirty days when my friend has nothing on his end. We had our app on the same day. What’s going on??? Bring that chat back on. Still same. Very weak and about time I open app. Always black screen. Nothing pops up right away. ### 1/5 — Two dates why? *2024-07-15* Can’t reach you at the support service. No direct chat because that will help deaf friendly user.

Bring that chat back on. ### 1/5 — Poor and very cluttering *2024-06-11, version 5.1.28* Very disorganized and cluttered. Hard to figure out to use. Also the words are over lapped on my screen. ### 1/5 — Great product ruined by greedy devs *2024-06-01, version 5.1.28* Volley USED to be amazing, and it still is for professional users who can afford the absurdly steep pricing as a business expense. The prices are far, far too absurd to justify otherwise as they charge multiple times more than their chief competitor Marco Polo for the exact same features. I would prefer to use Volley if they wanted my business but they've slapped their non-commercial users in the face and left us to rot. Marco Polo it is unfortunately, though they also charge a lot for basic functionality so there's really just no good options left on the market. ### 1/5 — shutting down april 30. terrible news!! what a shame. great app and great people. *2023-03-29, version 5.1.20* shutting down april 30. terrible news!! what a shame. great app and great people. ### 1/5 — Notifications- turn them Off! *2022-11-19, version 5.1.3* I’m just starting to get used to Volley. I don’t like all of the notifications. I can’t turn it off. There is always a number and I can’t turn it off. ### 1/5 — App doesn’t work *2022-05-18, version 4.0.1* Stopped working after about 2 weeks. No way to reach customer support ### 1/5 — Not useful, no problem being fixed *2022-04-12, version 3.2.5* Not useful at all, and complicated interface. There’s plenty of other apps out there that offer a much better interface and features of messaging via video. I work with startups daily and brought this up as an option for communication and everyone said it was a hard pass. ### 2/5 — Confusing *2025-12-29, version 5.2* I want to use this app, but find it very confusing. So, I just come here from time to time and listen. Glad to see you got the hang of it! Happy New Year to everyone! ### 2/5 — Editing of posts is needed *2023-01-18, version 5.1.13* Can’t edit posts. if you start writing a post and then have to go look at something else and return to the app your post in progress wasn't auto saved. You have to start all over writing the post. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Great video messaging app *2026-04-02, version 5.2* I just started using it a couple of days ago, and it’s going really smooth. You just have to be sure to respond on the thread of a group, but it’s easy to learn. ### 5/5 — Real Business communication done right *2024-11-18, version 5.2* Volley is my absolute favorite way to do business communication. As somebody that consumes a lot of podcasts, the audio video communication channel is so much more natural than trying to type all of my thoughts out in Slack. Collaborating is so much more real time when it needs to be. But also gives me the space to be asynchronous when that is a better option. Product teams Managers/leaders 1:1 coaching Client communication Volley is the best solution I've found for all of these relationship communications. ### 5/5 — Great app *2024-06-18, version 5.1.28* I’ve used this app on several different occasions and have been impressed with how well this helps to bring people together for a shared purpose or goal. ### 5/5 — Essential App for distributed/remote teams *2024-04-22, version 5.1.27* This app has been a game changer for teams. It’s great to be able to communicate with everyone and not have to have a forced meeting/office time. Close to a 10/10. Absolutely love it ### 5/5 — Volley is Back! *2024-04-12, version 5.1.24* I couldn’t be more pleased that Volley is back. Great communication tool, particularly when everyone in your group is in different locations across the globe. ### 5/5 — Changing the game *2024-04-02, version 5.1.24* Volley is making so much possible with their app! Amazing team! Amazing platform! Amazing set up! ### 5/5 — Long Awaited Return! *2024-04-01, version 5.1.24* Channels! Replies within threads! Tagging! Vertical feed! Active links! Reaction metrics! Smokes the competition! ### 5/5 — About time!!! *2024-03-31, version 5.1.24* An app that does what I want asynchronous ### 5/5 — So happy to see Volley is back! *2024-03-28, version 5.1.24* Loved this tool before and so happy to have it back. From my perspective, Volley can be many things - but for me specifically, this is a powerful asynchronous tool that allows for quick decisions, based on thoughts/reflections, in the now. ### 5/5 — Best app ever *2024-03-23, version 5.1.23* The app works very well and i use it everyday --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
