Description

FOR BUSY PEOPLE
Life is busy. Marco Polo works when you have a moment to talk, even if your schedules don’t match. Talk when you’re on the go, between appointments, whenever it’s convenient for you. Your friend can watch in real time or later. Unlike other video apps, you don’t need to be live.
A NEW KIND OF VIDEO CHAT
“What’s the difference between this and FaceTime?“
The difference is you can have an ongoing conversation that doesn’t interrupt your day, that you can pick up and drop off whenever you want. It really helps you to not feel lonely and to stay in contact – personal contact – with your family members and friends that you may not otherwise be able to be close to.
-Erin
WITH THE PEOPLE WHO MATTER MOST
With people you love, texts and social media don’t give you the whole picture. Busy lives make phone or video calls hard to schedule. Have spontaneous face to face conversations and really see how your loved ones are doing. As your conversations unfold, you can be in life together throughout your day.
BE TOGETHER WITH GROUPS
Include friends and family even when they don’t live in the same place or in the same timezone. Each person can talk and watch when it works for them.
EASY AND FUN
For grandparents, families, and friends, speaking face to face is as easy as pressing “Start” and “Stop.” Have fun with doodles and voice filters, too!
NEVER HAVE TO SAY GOODBYE
Don’t get stuck on a phone call at the wrong time, or leave voicemails you never know were received. Marco Polo gives you tone, context, and certainty that your message was heard.
FULL LIFE, NOT FULL PHONE
With no limits on length, and video stored in the cloud, you have room for life. It’s easy to share the moments you’d otherwise have missed.
MEMORIES THAT LAST
Keep your conversations alive with videos that don’t disappear. Go back and rewatch your special moments and never forget what you said!
NOT JUST FOR IOS
Talk to friends and family face-to-face even if they aren't iPhone users. Works over WiFi anywhere in the world.
SAFE AND PRIVATE
No one can find you or your family on Marco Polo without your phone number.
FREE AND UNLIMITED
Our mission is to help people feel close. Marco Polo is free to use for everyone and ad-free.

Great and easy to work out

Great app. Guess it’s a lot like snapchat video but saves them. Would be nice to be able to watch your video before sending just in case you make a mistake. As soon as you press stop it sends. However I’m sure this is because you can watch live. Still great app. I’m sure more people will be using it soon.

Marco Polo review

My name is Gabriella and I am messaging on my mums phone. I gave Marco Polo five stars because I love how you can do filters for changing your voice high, low, or robot. And also changing the face and scenery behind you and on your face. I would recommend it to a friend or family member because it is an easier way of sending videos on messages and you don’t have to type things ( unless you want to type a message) and it is quick and easy to learn how to do it
Thank you
Best wishes
Gabriella 😝

Marco Polo - an Innovative idea

A great way to communicate. I’m involving my friends and family in the UK. Until I went to the US on holiday I hadn’t even heard about it. Very impressed.

I got this app as I travel with work and it’s a great way to send video messages to my children. They love filming their message back to me.
It’s so easy to use and works perfectly

Marco Polo is Yolo

Marco Polo is a great app for quick video calls, in a way. It also lets you have cool voice changes like robotic, macho man, helium and more. Try it today! You can invite friends and make groups. If you can’t record a video, it lets you type and move the text around. Cool! 😁😁

Great Communications App!

I’ve just recently downloaded this after hearing other people mention that they were using it. I’m so glad that I did! The app is very well developed and clean, but it also has a refreshing simplicity and isn’t complicated to figure out. After watching a few of the helpful videos, you’re a master.
I was raised in the US but I now live in the UK. After an evening of messing around with Marco Polo, I can see the rich implications of this concept. With schedules being so busy these days (not just internationally), I needed another way to keep in touch. One that still feels personal, but is on demand (unlike completely live video chats). Marco Polo looks very promising in fulfilling that role. The hardest part is getting everyone to download the app. That and helping people to overcome their shyness in recording themselves on video :).

Really helpful for long distance relationships/friendships

I’ve only been using the app a few days with my boyfriend but it has been soooo useful. It is so nice to be able to have regular short minute talks with him and I actually feel like we’re still in the same place together as we’re able to share snippets of life with each other. Highly recommend.

Contact with my Son

My son is in New York and I’m in the UK this app is great for us to keep in touch whatever time it is, I know that he’ll be able to know what I’m doing, and if I want to get a message to him he knows what it’s about in advance. Great

Great for busy long distance friends/families

My family all live across an ocean and with time zones and lots of small children and busy schedules it is very hard to find time for video chats etc. Marco Polo has meant we can exchange video messages on our time and view them when we can as well. Great stuff!!

Covering the distance

We love Marco Polo! It has enabled us to leave spontaneous messages for our son, who lives in San Francisco. It somehow feels more immediate because we live in the Uk and for some reason it feels as though the time difference is not so pronounced. Thank you developers! My son is a software engineer and he loves MP too.

Life saver

This app has massively blessed me as it has allowed me to stay in touch with friends abroad. Not everyone likes the format so it doesn’t work for all my friends but for those who do it’s the best thing ever. Time zones are no barrier. We just leave messages and can show each other life. It does use up lots of data if not using it on WiFi but for me it was worth upping my data package to use on 4g.

Great app. Allows you to communicate with loved ones on the go. Too busy to Skype? You can send a video message instantly about your moment to an individual or group. I use it to keep connected with my grandchildren abroad.

Great for long distance relationships!

Currently in a long distance relationship with my girlfriend, i love Marco because you can pop a quick video throughout the day - sharing those small things here and there and it saves your videos! This helps as sometimes something you wanted to talk about you may forget when your actually talking on FaceTime whatever.

Insecure platform

Marco Polo does not use end-to-end encryption....be careful what you share since they are able to see/hear anything you send through their service.
Remember, if you’re getting something without paying money for it you probably *are* the product.

Great for time differences

A very good friend of mine emigrated to Canada a year ago to the west coast - a cool 8 hour time difference which means we never get to speak to each other- Marco Polo has gone some way to remedy that. Highly recommended

Best way to keep in touch when family are far away

My cousin and I stay on different continents and we use Marco Polo to keep in touch. It’s great because we can send a video and watch and reply whenever we have time. Thank you Marco Polo for bringing me closer to my family 😁❤️

Be warned!

Like a virus, on installing & registering this App, it will send your contacts an invite message without warning & you won't even know about it!
Not easy to use despite tutorial (an easy app shouldn’t need a tutorial) but moreover, it adds nothing more than Microsoft’s Skype App. Avoid if you can.

Conversations

I’m really not happy about this. I’ve been having conversations on the app for about a month now or possibly two, but anyway recently all of my recordings still appear in the chat but as soon as I finish listening to a polo from my boyfriend it automatically disappears. They only one that I have from him is his very first one, but other than that they’ve all been disappearing which is really annoying because I like to look back at the conversation sometimes. I really need to know if this can be fixed either on my end or by the team. By the way I am a visually impaired Apple voiceover user.

Good app but not quite there

I like using Marco Polo to keep in touch with my friends in other countries. The video walkie talkie makes me feel like a low level reality star in a confessional hahahahaha. However there needs to be a texting component for when you just can’t talk out loud. Maybe it films you as you type and puts up the letters on the screen as you type so you still get the video recording aspect? Or a DM option. Something.

Improvements to be made

Hi from England I use Marco Polo every single day numerous times a day and I love it but please can more emojis be made available more affects to be added in regards to drawing tools and easier way of skipping forwards and backwards on longer Marco polos without having to watch from beginning to hitch sometimes happens :)

Love this for keeping touch with friends and family across the globe when time zones can make FaceTime or Skype difficult, but it drains your battery REALLY quickly. Would love to see an update fix that!

People in recovery

I’m one of a group of about 55 recovering drug addicts in the South West of England who’ve formed a group on this app.
Our Marco Polo group is a place where we read daily readings and support each other as we share our journey’s of recovery in NA.
This little app has been transformative to
Our lives, enabling us to feel connected and safe throughout each day, particularly as we live across a rural area where it’s hard to all meet up.
The format helps us to feel safe enough to risk opening up and sharing our vulnerability.
Where most of us find things like Facebook are new addictions that actually add to our feelings of isolation and obsession, this app is facilitating real intimacy and deepening bonds of connection and belonging that we are all loving.
Thanks to everyone who has helped create this space for us! 🙂🙏❤️🙂
