I've had app for few years. I enjoyed it bc my daughter has an iPhone and I have an android. We IMO all the time until I did an update and I don't receive notifications as a pop-up. I would hear it ringing but in order to get the call I would have to go to the app wait for it to load and hit "return to call." It would be better if the notifications would show on the screen again or give the opinion to turn them on or off.

BAD - No speakerphone option...its hard to conduct a video call when you have to place your ear on the ear piece of the phone to hear. Also when a regular call comes through on my phone, my imo video call ends abruptly and hangs up on my video call. GOOD - It is great for sending videos that your normal phone app says is too big to send. Also, pics and vids sent from iPhones through the built in messaging app on my phone, are grainy....they come through crystal clear using Imo.

2 reasons for 1 star, first every time I open the app it asks if I want to invite friends, STOP ASKING ME THAT, I HAVE INVITED ALL I AM GOING TO!!! Second, a few months ago after an update it went from an awesome app to garbage, the calls are iffy, the worse part is if I don't have my bluetooth on I can't hear the person I am talking to there is no option to have the sound go through the speaker and having to hold my phone up to my ear defeats the purpose of a video call.

The app used to work very well. Now I can't see the other parry in the call. When I can see them, it freezes. The voice breaks up. Not sure what changes you've made, however it seems like you may have fixed one glitch but created others. I've even uninstalled and reinstalled the app, shut down my phone and restarted.

FIX YOUR APP!!! IDK why I can't change my number to my actual number but it just won't let me. When I call someone on video call, for some odd reason it doesn't go to speaker phone, it treats the call like its a normal call. I've given the app all the permissions that it needs to function properly and it still doesn't work right. I use this app to talk to my dad across the world. This is frustrating and very upsetting!

Horrible. Whatever you guys have done to IMO, it compleley wiped out my contact list. I can't even add them back, although they are in my phone's contact list. My friends try to call me, and they cannot. They can't even text me. All my messges have dissappeared. IMO used to be the best. But ever since you guys have done that IMO HD update, this App has been awful. " -10 Stars" if I could, and it looks like a bunch of other people, after reading reviews here, are having the same issues

I had no problem with this app for months and then all of a sudden it started acting up. I used to be able to go off of facetime directly to respond to a text message while the person I always on facetime with could still see me. Also, when I get off the screen it will only let me be off of it for like 6 seconds. Other than that everything it fine. Please fix my problem though.

This new imo update is very bad! When I minimize someone , I can no longer see them. The app keeps freezing and dropping my calls. I have occasions where my screen just blacks out....what a pain that is! I liked the older version much better! Please fix these issues or go back to the old version. If not I will have to find another app!

video chat is substandard, usually very blurry.. interface is limited. way way too many useless, mundane stickers to sort through to find anything useful or pertinent. very limited and sporadic emoji and they deploy like stickers, on their own, not part of text where needed for emphasis. finally, for no good reason, all my conversations and contacts disappeared and no tech support. when I reloaded the app, my contacts won't appear from my phone and I can't seem to add them.

This app has been the app I have been using for the past 2 years to speak to my boyfriend overseas, since it switched from IMO to IMO HD all of the sudden I cannot speak to any of my friends overseas. Very disappointed. This shouldn't be happening, and I would like a solution to the problem, so I can speak to him on here again without the app shutting because of an incoming call on either his end or mine, which is what happens with all other apps..

Last update was both terrible and disastrous. It's so annoying that I uninstalled and reinstalled again couple of times. Every time I open the app, there's this big annoying dialogue box that says"download the HD imo app and update it" I did it that several times but still the problem is there. Please fix this bugs. The sooner you figure out this and fix the five stars I give you. Until then one damn star is fairly enough to rate you!!

I switched phones and now Imo requires an American phone number. there's no selectable option to use numbers from other countries despite the fact that I was using this app for nearly six months before changing phones. now it's completely useless--and I needed it for work. if it's a bug, it needs to be fixed. if it's on purpose, then I suppose Imo doesn't care about international clientele.

After I updated the new one, I kept the older version to have my messages. The messages did not transfer to the new version and I can no longer access the older version. I had very personal and special messages on there and now they are gone! I'm very hurt because y'all should have done better to transfer the conversations and photos. Very disappointed with this change!!!!

Come on IMO! You have one thing going for you and that's the ability to see the other person's typing in real time before they hit send. It adds an element of closeness that is missed in other texting apps. However, IMO constantly cuts off longer messages! Whyyy? You never know what or when it will happen. This makes IMO barely able to be used unless you know every message will be short. But that's ridiculous.

while I can make stable phone calls using imo, I can never know when the app is working. Recent update has disabled the program. So, every time I open the program, it takes me to the "Update" page and I click on Update and without anything happening, the program starts working. Thus, I am not receiving any phone calls and keep getting Missed calls.

To those that Downloaded the new HD version, uninstall the last version app,And it will work just fine! I do love this app! Just 1 downfall , is alot of time when opening the app , it automatically calls people!!!! No joke!! Can y'all fix that bug other than that I would recommend it to everyone! The app is even better than my phone service!!! Especially when sending and receiving pictures!!

imo just got wasted. it can't read the contact list of the phone. its user interface and appearance were not good, chat format was poor, and got worse with whole page occupied by ads. it had good voice audio, that's why i used it. but i don't see any reason to have it any more unless they fix all these major issues quickly. looks like the number of users has been going down even before this latest gigantic problem.

When they "upgraded" this app, they made it alot worse with changing how the video calls work. You can no longer text and be on a video call at the same time and it is constantly dropping calls. Also the sound quality has dropped alot. Would like to go back to use previous version but they made it so you cant use that either. The app has gotten unusable and worthless.

Imo use to be one of the best apps for communicating. It surpassed what's app, messenger. There were fewer dropped calls, sound quality was fantastic, video superb.What happened is beyond me. No more contacts, calls or video chats. I miss it tremendously, when it came to my friends in other countries. Hope whatever the problem is; it will soon be resolved..

The first version was better. It allowed you to add certain chats to your home screen. This one asked if I wanted a shortcut created, I said yes and I can't find where it is. I can no longer select no sound or vibrate only as an optional ringtone. I went to settings, unchecked the sound box, and it still makes a sound when I receive notifications. I just may have to remove it altogether if these things are not fixed.
