Good replacement for Messenger

Create Nickname YES (NO)

Stopped using messenger, had my friends switch to allo. Now they make their friends switch. Great app!

Why does Google have THREE call/text apps??

1. Google Voice 2. Hangouts 3. Allo They all essentially do the same da*n thing. Google —going—> Downhill. No, seriously. Open Letter to Google: Negotiate with Apple to share the iMessage protocol, or at least make your texting appS (PLURAL) compatible with iMessage. Team up and make Facebook Messenger and What’s App and the 10,350 other call/text apps obsolete. Speaking of the latter, thanks for making that total 10,353. Not.

iPhone X support is starting to roll in

Just stretching the app to fit was mostly exactly what I wanted. All that’s left is to kind of space elements on the bottom of the display so that they don’t bunch up with the home bar gesture area, particularly the text entry field.

Worst app ever

In 2017, if it takes 20 minutes to send a video (22 secs length). For sure not a competitor to whatsapp, Google work on a good version for ios and then release the app.

Great app

I really enjoy the app but ever since the latest update, majority of the time I try to send a voice messages, the button freezes causing me to close the app and restart it again. Happens frequently. Please fix this. Overall, wonderful experience.

Eliminates freedoms turns your phone over to the police

Guy 528

This app makes all of your texts, photos, voice memos and current location available to the police, 171 cases occurred where people used this app to sell drugs and marijuana and this app scans for words like “sell” “drugs” “weed” “police” and even words like “dome” “pyramid” “hollow” “eye” and “Antarctica” for some reason, it finds these words and sends all of your messages to law enforcement along with your current location and everything on your phone that you have the app access to, if your on the app, they can listen to you three your microphone, this app even got 4 people in prison for the rest of there life for growing marijuana, no one even wants it to be illegal but the government wants you sick and in pain so the pharmaceutical corporations get more money. The government just uses the police as pawns in there game of “who can steal the most money and kill off the most people” makes me sick.

Picture msgs

Colebou

I don’t understand why I have to load the picture every time just to see the picture in the chat, or I can turn on auto download and have them load but it saves everything to my camera roll. Just make it normal major annoyance. Also I wish the FaceTime was built into the app and was able to have more than only 1 participate like fb messenger. I still like it more than all other messengers available though. Just some concerns.

Allo for web

AhmedSheshtawy

Starting from version 19.0 the update notes said that the app is now supporting Allo for web, unfortunately this feature never came available for iOS yet! Open you app settings and you’ll never find QR code for web.

It’s no Apple messages.

As a dual platform guy I jumped on allo at launch hoping it would be the first legit competitor to Apple messages. It’s come a LONG way from launch but still misses the mark. The lack of sms support on either platform removes any chance of making this the ubiquitous messager on either platform. A lot of energy went into a very inferior sticker platform. The rich text and media support is almost great, when they get drag and drop support and multi device support I think we can at least have the conversation. For now I’m stuck with two messaging apps, messages for everyone I know on iOS and allo or sms for the remainder.
