Radios vs WhatsApp
Why choose ALO over WhatsApp?

WhatsApp was founded in 2009 as an instant messaging app for the iPhone and evolved to support voice and video calls. Facebook acquired the company in 2014 and uses your data to monetize their investment. With ALO your data is private and ALO does everything WhatsApp does and far more.

The one word I would use to describe ALO is transformative. Before ALO we relied on radios and email for fan communication.

One word to describe ALO would be precise. ALO allows us to take different issues and request and very precisely get them done.
