I've been using Marco Polo for years and I absolutely love it. Purchased the annual once and did enjoy the features of listening at a faster pace, and being able to forward videos, but couldn't justify the cost the following year. This app allows me to connect with my dearest friends whether they're in the same town or thousands of miles away. 10/10! 🙌❤️

I've used Marco Polo for over a decade now. It's extremely aggravating that they took all sorts of FREE features away that they had forever, and they started charging you for them. And the price for the premium app? Outrageous! And then they add new features for free, then change it to the premium plan later. Come on guys, really?

Marco Polo has been a completely free app since 2014. As a company, we need to make Marco Polo a sustainable business. We also don't want to have ads in Marco Polo, or sell your data, as many other social apps do. Learn more: bit.ly/EvolutionofMarcoPolo

Been using this app for years. over the last two weeks I have been slowly getting less and less notifications when people send messages. my wife noticed the same thing in her phone. I rarely get notified of new messages anymore. Makes the app almost useless. Nothing else changed and nothing I have done has fixed the problem, even deleting the app and downloading again. none of my other apps are having problems like this.
