Marco Polo is great. The flexibility over regular text messaging makes this a really fun app to use, and greatly enhances the communication of things that can't be conveyed via text. I'm only giving 3 stars though, because the price is INSANELY high for a messaging app, and the gatekeeping of simple features behind the pay wall is super greedy. If it were cheaper, I'd happily pay money for it.

so Buggy. I've had to uninstall/reinstall it many times. I pay for it too, because it's a constant communication tool for my friends and I but I have to say, the worst app I pay for. For example, there will be a '--- lost a connection, well notify you when the video is available ' and sometimes, it's just never available, or it says it's available and the app crashes every time I click on it.

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!
