  Best way to keep in touch

  The folks at Marco Polo should get a medal for developing this app so people can stay in touch. My family started using Marco Polo during Covid. We are all spread out across Texas and this app worked great whether in the city, suburbs, small town or in the country to send & receive video messages. Mom didn’t especially like email or long phone calls, but she took to Marco Polo like a natural. She had just been diagnosed w breast cancer, & it was so good to video ms on Marco Polo bc we could see as well as hear her, & see for ourselves how she was doing. My husband found an old high school buddy who also took to Polo-ing & it was so fun for these 2 guys to catch up — ‘in person’ despite being 1000 miles away. With Marco Polo I feel like my privacy is secure, rather than worrying about all the issues about what’s app or others. Yes, there is FaceTime or Skype, but video messaging on Marco Polo is at everyone’s convenience. You can view and respond to messages in btwn errands or chores, on work breaks, while waiting in line (if you want to) so you can keep in touch as you go through your day. No having to schedule (or cut short) a phone call or FaceTime bc not everybody is available for a family talk together. You can easily give a friend a video tour of your new apartment or car; share a great view from your outdoor vacation, etc. This review is obviously long overdue. We have continued to happily subscribe to Marco Polo. If you pay the subscription, you can add family members overseas, which is also fun. Love this app.

  Stay connected with family

  Marco Polo has been a great way for my family to stay together and connect. We started during the Covid era. Even my elderly father who lives several states away was able to use it and it’s been amazing for him to keep in touch with me, my sister, and his grandkids, in ways we just couldn’t do with normal phone calls or texts. Even years later, we send “polos“ several times a week often multiple a day because it’s so quick and easy and you get to see each other. And check it at your convenience, unlike a video call. I call it asynchronous video chatting. It is a great idea, and I like all the extra Little services they provide like the captions and the transcripts.
