Google Allo is the new messaging app for those in Mountain View that just been released and comes with things clear to be everything a stumbling block to other apps like WhatsApp or Telegram. Its great virtue, apart from high performance, is Google Assistant. This is going to be the central axis in which Google is going to apply a lot of efforts to have natural conversations with a voice assistant that will be present in all the chats we make.
We are going to make a quick and interesting pass of the best of Allo in the few hours that we have been with him and as little by little we will try to encourage our contacts, friends and family to install it. We are facing a messaging app that links directly to the phone number and this will allow you to send them an SMS to invite them to download the application from the Google Play Store itself.
A Google Allo that will dazzle
Google Allo stands out for its high performance And the truth is that launching conversations, emojis or all kinds of multimedia content in chats is very fast. You can see that here Google wants to offer an application that moves very well and focuses directly on ease of use.
The first moment we launch Allo we will have Google Assistant welcoming us in English. That it is in English is due to the fact that we can access it from the APK, although from the Google Play Store there is still the option to register or cancel the registration, which means that It will be a matter of hours in which we have it in Spanish. This is because Google Assistant also uses all the voice commands that we already use in Google Now, so that voice assistant will make us feel at home when we are chatting with a friend or a group of contacts.
This is where Allo is will completely stand out from other apps, since in a chat group that is related, for example, with gastronomy, you can share restaurants where you can go to try new dishes, information about recipes, share your own photos of that chocolate cake that we made or know the latest news related to that topic. This will be the great advantage of Allo over other applications and that will mean that the chats we have are more enriching without having to leave them for all that information and high-quality content.
The great stumbling block
We have an app that works very well, a Google Assistant that is a sweet to try and a link to the phone numbers that will make it easy to encourage our contacts to use it. This is where your biggest problem lies and where other messaging apps they have suffered their own to be "seen".
And, if you have a messaging app and no one to contact because no one knows it at the moment, word of mouth and Google advertising will be vital so that in these first days and weeks it bursts in such a way that almost spread like foam. This will depend on whether Allo is a success or a failure.
At the moment, it has everything to be a very attractive messaging app with these options for chats, Google Assistant and high performance that allows us to move from one side of the application to the other without major problems.
