I never gave Allo a shot because it lacked a desktop client, but I may be checking it out again in short time: Amit Fulay, Head of Product for Google Allo and Duo, sent out a tweet suggesting that one will finally be released in a few weeks. I am surprised that Hangouts is still going, considering how desperately they want Allo to succeed.



Allo is actually a really nice application, but there are simply too many missing features for me to use it in any meaningful capacity. One of those missing features is a desktop client, which was first revealed by Nick Fox (Google VP of Communications) in February. In May, he tweeted that the web client was still “a month or two from public release.” It’s been about a month and a half since that statement, but the Allo desktop client is still a ways off.
