Ratings and reviews

Great way to stay in touch. I've used it daily for three years. Is reliable. only hack I need is when sharing a photo... I need to switch to a different app in my android then switch back for my photo to show as a recording. Paid version is worth it over the free. Love the gifting a few months of paid version to others too. Biggest selling point is unlimited recordings. I'm able to keep up on deeper relationships and develop newer ones with close friends and family as a result of MP.

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.

Update: I love this app, but they keep raising the price and it's getting a little out of control with how much it costs. $119.99 (high in my opinion) for plus, and it's changing to $159.99. That's quite the jump and has become the most expressive membership I pay for. Please charge less, it's too high for the plus. Fun way to communicate, so great to see people and faces. You can use it without the plus features, but it takes away a lot of the features that make the app great.
