| 2024-09-30 |  | | The user contract requires binding arbitration, a class action waiver, and the button to delete my account doesn't do anything. It's like it's just an image instead of a link or button. |
| 2024-09-11 |  | | App is functional, works well for groups but the video function feels awful. Low quality video that's zoomed in unnecessarily and you can't zoom out. It also automatically speeds up all videos - again unable to change this setting. Maybe they're adjustable in the paid version but why are those the pre-sets settings? |
| 2024-08-08 |  | | The default playback speed on all audio/video is too fast and you have to have a premium account to change it. Everyone, myself included, sounds like they're hopped up on goofballs. |
| 2023-03-10 |  | | I like volley a lot. Handy communication tool, just don't be a perfectionist about your video messages and you'll love it too |
| 2022-10-23 |  | | Great features within the free and paid plans. Like others I have found an annoying glitch. For me and my friends, when we tap on the notification of a new unread message, the app won't show the new message until after we close and restart the app. I wish I had the option to customize the notification sounds for the app. |
| 2022-08-17 |  | | Very nice format. However my messages never sent. I would get an error that the signal was weak and it couldn't send to retry. And the message would repeat... while I was on wifi. My friend and I were excited to use this because we enjoy leaving video chats for each other since our schedules are so different. Sadly we were both let down. |
| 2022-05-31 |  | | I like the app and this method of connecting with people. It reminds me a lot of Marco Polo, just better without the premium plan (for now). A problem I have with Volley, though, is that if you record a video without internet connection it will be lost. The app should really save the video until it can upload it later. That seems like a basic feature of any communication app. |
| 2022-05-27 |  | | I love this app. I use it to chat with my coaching clients, friends and family. It is easy to use and the app team is super attentive. No ads. Currently the app is still free. The app is robust and an amazing tool for my business. Love Volley 🤗💜 |
| 2022-05-03 |  | | No way to unsubscribe even after contacting them. Received replies like "click manage subscription" (which just turns notifications off) and then the response to my second email was again, go to the bottom and "click the silence notifications at the bottom of the next type of email you get from us". So I basically stay on their email list forever and keep clicking silence on various email types I get, even though I Uninstaller the app and won't use it. |
| 2022-04-22 |  | | Think a mashup of slack, zoom, and text messaging. Such a perfect solution for small team communication. Cannot stress enough how wonderful Volley is! |
