Introduction and Review

Do you feel not that confident when socializing with people in the real life yet still want to make friends? Are you tired of getting outdoors every day to meet new people? Macro Polo is a video chat platform for you to meet people from every corner of the world and make friends with each other while practicing foreign languages. With Marco Polo, the video chat app, you will feel closer to others and you can have sincere conversations with them whenever and wherever you like. Since video chat is more efficient than message texts, why not try video chat right away? Marco Polo provides its users with a private and secured chat space where users can enjoy interesting conversations without interruptions or intrusions of ads and they don’t need to worry about data leaking. Being an award-winning chat application, Marco Polo is not a social media and it will not generate social anxiety by encouraging people to gather likes from others. Therefore, no vicious cycle of comparison will occur and there will only be healthy and fun communication between users. The app is simple and convenient for you to make new friends and start the live streaming chat. You can either choose to talk in a one-on-one mode or join a group chat, depending on your personal preferences. If you have something urgent to get in between, you can pause your talk and continue the conversation later. Once you subscribe to the membership plan, you will enjoy exclusive series and have an ads-free user experience. There will be unlimited chats flowing and emoji reactions are available to produce special effects during the chats. You can send your videos to people in your circle and only you can see their reactions and replies under your posts. Though the app emphasizes its dedication to winning people’s trust, some users find the app somewhat disappointing in terms of certain aspects. For instance, though the paid version is powerful and features many functions, the free version, in contrast, has limited functions for people to make use of, which is an act of encouraging people to spend money on the app. Some features are even removed from its previous free version in order to let more people make purchases. If the company indeed tries to think in the shoes of its customers, it should get all the original features back in its free version.

Updates

Marco Polo has been updated on a regular weekly basis. According to its version history shown on App Store, the app has been recently updated with the launch of version 0.1412.0 on February 6th, 2023. New features have been added and the app runs faster than before, ensuring users a more reliable user experience. Also, bugs have been fixed and the general performance of the app has been improved. However, no specific information concerning the adjustments and updates has been mentioned in the update history.
