I downloaded the app but dont see the point of it. I can use skype, facebook, hangouts or any other app. What makes this different?

I tried it with my girlfriend, at home on our wifi network and it still paused due to a slow connection. Pretty sure 75 down/ 25 up should be good enough for this with nothing else hooked up to the network.

I agree, but maybe they created it to be the direct facetime alternative for android users?

Makes sense. But you dont have to download facetime from the app store. Its like 1 person out of 10 has this installed and theres no use of it when u have it and u try to video call ur friend or mom who has no idea what google duo is.

Now if they include that in Nougat, then its a different story.

This is what they should do if they want this to be the main facetime competitor

you don't need an account it just use your phone number to register, simple and supper easy, you can call overseas, it just use data and better too with slow connection.

To me this is a negative, not a positive. It's the reason I don't use whatsapp. I flip sims whenever I travel so I want something that's got an account login, not registered to your number. I use hangouts as my main application. The only thing it doesn't have that I really wish it had was Push to Talk like whatsapp does.

Im really digging this Duo app. My girl and i have been using it quite frequently without issue. That was the only thing i liked about Apple phones and now we have our own version. While i understand not having everyone on board with it but for a small circle of people it's great.

I agree completely. It's super easy and works well. I'm sure it will get even better with time.

IMO it's better than these. With a low data connection where I tested it it was great.
