        too late..
        y were duo and allo not launched together ?
        y is google still hiding the release date (what's the use of pre registration 3 months back)
        any extra ordinary features in this app . No

        surely ppl will install once, check the features , have fun and then finally uninstalll in 2 days

              there is lot of apps like this..."lots"

                I don't see the point in this app without SMS integration. WhatsApp already functions well and is already very widely used and certainly doesn't need to be replaced. Google at launch should integrate all the functionality of Hangouts into Allo and phase out Hangouts, otherwise Allo will fail woefully.

                    who cares? if it's not free (free data whatever the network is like facebook & messenger) then no one cares.

                        I agree entirely
                        Too many messaging app causing confusion and incompatibilities.
                        Why do they need more than 1 to handle communication?
                        I'm still using Hangouts - works fine thanks.
                        Certainly don't like the idea of some AI predicting my messages thanks Google! I can speak / text for myself!

                          So we will have AOSP messenger app, Google's own Messenger app, Hangouts, Google Voice, and then this.
                          In real life, people will just stick with Whatsapp/Line/Wechat, things that they and their friends are already using.
