    "Great for Cross-Platform Communications"

    Posted 2021-08-09

    Pros: I use all Apple products, but others in my family use Android and Chromebook. We are able to use Google Duo to have voice chats and send text messages to keep in touch throughout the day.

    Cons: The only con would be that it's owned by Google who has a history of using my data and tracking it.

    "Best for informal video calls"

    Posted 2020-12-11

    Pros: Google Duo app is an amazing app for android phone users because just like iPhone Facetime facility, it's helpful for android users and iPhone users both. It facilitates face to face video calling. Also, it is amazing to save our digital moments as it gives the facility of taking photos between video call. You can use different face filters during video calling.

    Cons: It doesn't support well with more than 2 people during a video call. It is not secure as no security is provided about screen recording. It works well only on high-speed internet connection. It works only with phone number if you aren't interested in sharing phone no. Then it's not for you.

    Overall: It's a great app as it's useful for Android and iPhone users, you can use it in Windows as well. It's good for having a fun time and good conversation on video calling with your family and friends with multiple effects.

    "Great for Video Calls, Not so great for text messages"

    Posted 2020-06-26

    Pros: My boys like to use Duo to video chat with me. It's been a great product with good video quality over 4g LTE and 3G+ data speeds.

    Cons: I really don't like how the person can see you when you call them before they accept the call. I also do not like the limited chat ability, that feature is not user friendly at all.

    Overall: While I like the video quality, the interaction with the Android App is frustrating and inconsistent with other Google Products. I keep going back to Google Hangouts even though the quality isn't good, it's easier to use.
