    Great for Video Calls, Not so great for text messages

    Date: Jun 26 2020

    Summary: 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.

    Positive: 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.

    Negative: 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.

    Duo - Quality Video Calling

    Date: Jun 11 2020

    Summary: Duo offers a 720P clarity in video calling. The application is very simple to use and the design is very good. The preview feature "Knock-Knock" to see the video preview of the calling person is a very great feature. There is no option to send a quick text in case of a call drop or if you had to drop off because of some other reason.

    On an overall level duo offer great quality for video calling. It is a definite recommendation if the quality is a priority,

    Positive: (+) Great design and super easy to use.
    (+) The quality of audio and video is top-notch.
    (+) Previewing of video call before entering into the call is a great feature.
    (+) Free of cost.
    (+) Available on all platforms unlike facetime.
    (+) Video and audio messages in case of unavailability of the person to take the call.

    Negative: (-) It can be a bit slow on older mobile phones.
    (-) Consumes a lot of data.
    (-) No option to send a quick text. One must switch to another application to send a text.

    Great for Cross-Platform Communications

    Date: Aug 09 2021

    Summary: Overall, Google Duo is a good program for keeping in touch with others who do not have the same brand of phone that you do.

    Best for informal video calls

    Date: Dec 11 2020

    Summary: 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.

    Positive: 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.

    Negative: 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.
