Great for Video Calls, Not so great for text messages

PositiveMy boys like to use Duo to video chat with me. It's been a great product with good video quality over 4g LTE and 3G+ data speeds.
NegativeI really don't like how the person can see you when you call them before they accept the call. I also do not like the limited chat ability, that feature is not user friendly at all.
