      I still don't know if I should try this or not, I'm pretty good with Hangouts until it stops supporting SMS texting or this app starts supporting it.

              Anonymous, 03 May 2017Allo up, WhatsApp server currently down😏Thanks for this heads up. I thought there was something wrong with my phone...my WhatsApp wouldn't connect.

              Anyway, I've been one of the keen disciples of Allo, but even I gave up on it. I think it's too little too late, unless Google knows what they're doing. But it's obvious they don't. They're too slow in whatever they're trying to do with Allo.

                  No, the app is not great by any measure.
                  And 50 million in comparison to 1.5bilion of android users is like 3%... uhm... no, thanks but not...

Even if it does, Duo is a brilliant app and most users have happily installed it! I am using duo since months and it nevertheless is among the best video calling app! Allo is a complete flop, but duo is quite a hit!

                      Guys ...you should check that software before being so negative... It's really nice..
