Skype Pros

Skype is amazingSkype is amazing. I use Skype every Tuesday and Thursday for my tutoring without my tutoring. I will know nothing but if I knew about Skype before I wouldn’t need tutoring anymore that’s why I love Skype Skype helps me Skype is the reason why I could read better Skype is the reason why I could type better faster on computers, phones, iPad anything you could type on. The Skype makes me type fast I could read good Skype is the best Skype you ever made Skype. All I would like is to make Skype easier to call people sometimes it freezes sometimes it bugs out sometimes it closes without anyone tapping the leave button scape if you played, it would be great. Please make the calls easier if you can at least make the calls have is your service And if you don’t, I will rather just go on FaceTime and you don’t want that because right now you do you have probably have a lot of people that like Skype to please Skype fix your website.Rocky rocks this worldVersion: 8.94.2

Skype Cons

App responsiveness broken and review process encourages only positive responsesEver since Microsoft (and it hurts to say it because I actually love Microsoft) took over Skype, its responsiveness has been in the tank. Changing between screens, hanging up a call, looking up a contact in recents, and doing lots of normal moving around the app often pushes for 5 or more seconds. When it first started happening a few years ago, I thought it was because I was on an iPhone 6s 256gb phone but it does the same on a 10s Max, iPhone 11, and iPhone 12. The app has become nearly unusable. After each call, the app asks for a 1-5 star rating but if you give less than 5, it asks why and gives a very short list of reasons that have nothing to do with the problem I have so to save time and release the screen, I have to say 5 (which feels completely wrong because I’m sure others are too inflating their rating). In short, it’s a hot mess. Use signal or others..Kevin QVersion: 8.68

CMPThe first review I ever wrote was on Skype and would have scored it -0 if the option had been available. Since then, I have barely touched Skype having switched to WhatsApp like so many other ex-Skype users. I started using Skype when it first came out on 2002(?) and it was the best VOIP system around by far and the easiest to use. Since the current crop of developers got to work they have turned a much loved and much used tool into an unmitigated disaster that barely functions and is nightmare to use. The developers won’t listen as is evidenced by all the negative comments the new Skype is getting and won’t make any effort to either rollback the awful upgrades or return to the original Skype’s simplicity or functionality. Which is what the vast majority of (ex) users appear to want. As a consequence Skype will continue to haemorrhage users, will fail to attract sufficient new users and will eventually be consigned to the scrap heap. Such a shame which could be avoided if the egos involved in Skype’s development left well alone and listened to those who have most used the program in the past..Kingtune1Version: 8.32
