It's a usefull app , complete with a lot of funny options especially if you're speaking with people from all over the world. Sadly it seems to work better on computer rather than phone (I have a lot of issues on phone like a call being cut as I try to send a picture, messages that doesn't load until I refresh the app of the fact I can't see GIFS? Sometime I receive notifications 1 hour before it was sent and I recommand to not try the skype emojis) But it's a complete app and never gets old.

The former updates were a nightmare slowing the app down. The recent updates even more. I use a pixel 6 and the latest updates slow down loading times significantly (not the positive way!). Very disappointing development. Also there is no history. Just recent chat from 1-2 days is available. Reloading chat from weeks ago or even months or years is not possible at all. Fix this by adding a timeline or the like so one can jump back to conversations.

Extremely slow on android phones with their memory almost full. I tried it on a new device still with android and it's memory half empty. It runs better and it takes less time to open and close the call but still the chats are very slow to open and update the conversation. And the profiles of the contacts take very long time to fully load. The more time you keep the app open the slower it becomes. After 15/30 minutes it becomes almost impossible to use it on 32GB device Android device.

2022 Currently, glitchy. If I'm invisible on one os, I should be invisible across all os, no matter where I check in. Not the case as yet. Also, freezing and not letting calls through. 11.01.2024 Update 2 of the Skype apps are glitching, freezing, not notifying of calls/messages, either updating w/o my permission or not updating my status when I update my status. Not good for an app to be failing the way it is when it used to be the ultimate in face time before FaceTime.

On "Manage my profile online" I can't even manage anything. It's so buggy it scrolls to the top on its own constantly, and the one time I actually filled in all my details and tapped "Save changes", entered my password and tapped "Enter" it just froze and the button got stuck. What the hell are you doing Microsoft. Years later, now I keep getting randomly added to Bitcoin groups and getting notifications from them.

Probably the most buggy chat app I have ever used. Almost impressively bad. Messages don't load or send sometimes. Half the screen being blank space. Messages somehow overlapping each other into one line like gibberish. Taking several seconds to simply open up. The send message bar vanishing. Being unable to scroll down past the few most recent messages. If it I wasn't being made to use this app to contact specific people, I would avoid it like the plague.

Used Skype credit to make mobile to land-line calls (over WiFi) from New Zealand to the UK while we're on holiday. Call quality is excellent, no delay and the clarity is great, also calls are cheap compared to using my UK phone provider (£0.02per min vs £3.99per min) Some glitches trying to add credit via Android from NZ but worked OK via Skype on PC. Otherwise great service, would highly recommend.

I would love to find a comparable VoIP that has a better interface than Skype. The calls frequently drop and the lock screen is inconsistent. If I want to end a call, the end call button won't respond to touch. However, if I put the phone up to my ear, it will toggle the mute or speaker button. Terribly designed app, and I expect better from Microsoft.
