My D&D group uses it for planning. It's basically the only context where I use it. It's suitable to the task, but doesn't really have any distinguishing features.
I remember I actually used Allo, and Hangouts
Seriously google WTF
I don't think I ever even heard of Allo until the news articles started coming out about Google killing it off. I used Hangouts briefly, but I didn't know a lot of people who used it. I am surprised they are trying chat again.
It's impossible to keep up with Google's various services. Unless it's Gmail or Photos, it'll probably get killed within a year.

I always used to use allo and hangouts when I was a flight attendant as they would still send messages despite the airlines paywall for the internet on their wifi. no idea how it worked but was awesome little gimmic
I always used to use Hangouts as my default chat app for friends. We had a big DnD group chat on it. But we migrated to WhatsApp when Google said they were going to kill hangouts and never looked back.
Why would I trust Google with my chats when they constantly abandon/kill off their best tools. We've now moved to Signal and I'm expecting to stay there for a long time.
