Ratings and reviews

I LOVE Marco Polo 90% of the time. I do, however, seem to have fairly frequent audio playback issues. Either when I play someone else's video, it's choppy or when I record a video, for both myself and the recipient, the audio is garbled. I've updated the app, restarted and everything to no avail. I'm currently using a Google Pixel 10.

I've enjoyed Marco Polo and have paid for Plus for many years; it was worth it while i was on the road for work. BUT I just got notice that they're raising the price by over 30%, and I can't justify paying for that increase while everything else is getting more expensive. Gotta cut costs where I can, and unfortunately this new price increase was a decision maker for me. BTW I think adding the AI/ transcription was not wanted/ necessary at all. I mostly was interested in speeding up video. Thx!

used this app for years, dealt with all the new "Pay now or lose out!!!", but now the app is basically unusable on my phone. the app won't "connect" so messages won't send, the audio won't play over the Bluetooth device and when you try to change it, it will keep switching back to the bluetooth, etc. unfortunately I think Marco polo had its moment, and now it's become like everything else: a way to get subscribers who will pay you indefinitely
