Please fix this.Whenever I trim a video in my photo album and then go to Skype and sent the video to someone, it sends the original video instead of the trimmed version. For example, I wanted to send a 23 second video just now, but it ended up sending a 1 minute video. Please fix this because it comes up saying it’s going to send the trimmed version when I press on it before it has been sent, but then after when I click on the video after it’s been sent, it shows that the original/non-edited version has been sent instead. Thank you..Version: 8.65

When you’re calling may drop!!!This is a great way to communicate with your folks or loved one! But at times it’s nuts! WHY , because it crashes and at weekends is not good at times so after literally seconds it’s over before it starts! But don’t loose faith because it’s an app and it’s free! But at peak demand it’s poor as it’s so heavily dependent on wi fi or you’re internet speed or the service provider that you use. I still like it but it can be frustrating when you need or loose connection to your caller! I don’t have a fix but they Microsoft support need to sort this out ASAP which after 2 months has not changed in UK! Other countries in Europe have a similar situation but have higher call rate success! The moral of this is be prepared to call dozen times to get yourself call time and video call is very poor quality and as such crashes more than the calls so it’s mainly the phone and messaging service that is really only of such a good service to use. Uk customer experience who calls European countries..Version: 8.95.1

Amazing App ❤️I love this app because in these times of lockdown I cant see my friends or family so I call them on skype. And my best friend moved to England so I can see her so we message and ring on this incredible app. There was some difficulties because my screen kept freezing but that might have been my dodgy internet so 5/5 I rate this app if it would be 10 than i would pick 10/10 highly recommend this app get it!👍.Version: 8.75

SkypeI like the app it is really easy to use and type.i like the extra emojis and how to find people on the app and get your contacts to join this amazing app . I also love how on FaceTime you can press a button so no one can see you instead of having to cover up the view button . I think this app is amazing and everyone should get it. 💖.Version: 8.50

SkypeThe best app ever, a fast response app that makes it super easy to reach out to your friends, family and colleagues without any disruption caused by filtering or anything else.Version: 8.108

Skype hands down is the best!There’s many apps that offer things that Skype offer, but there’s always a catch behind it. Whenever I started using Skype, there was nothing hiding no catches no hidden agenda. I was able to use it whenever I had surgeries to communicate and see visually my family. Without spending a single dime all other apps had ads or they wanted you to use your information for other purposes, but Skype is just as if as if you’re right there in the same room with them. Thousands of miles apart are even if it’s down the street the communication in the video is clear as can be and I couldn’t ask for a better app Skype don’t change a thing. And if you’re not using Skype you’re missing out..Version: 8.98

Getting lag since last updateI’ve found recently that I’m not getting notifications of messages until I actually open the app … even though I have the notification settings switched on. I’m not sure if it’s just Skype for iPhone?? I’m up to trying uninstalling & reinstalling to fix the problem. It’s frustrating..Version: 8.89

Skype Contacts online?4 stars it’s really good it has many features and I love the mojis as well. It’s amazing during quarantine where I can just talk with my friends and my family. Also it’s nice as you can add people while your calling (unlike FaceTime) and I think MOST of the time you won’t have a problem...... The reason I gave this app 4 stars is because it’s sometimes a little bit hard to hear what the other person/people are/is saying. Also it’s a little bit slow, mainly when you turn the camera. Now to my main, usually Skype have colours when your friends are online, been online recently, or off. (Like WhatsApp has last seen and online and messages do not) but it said green so I text my friend, and then I called her, it’s still showing green, and then she texts me “can’t call I’m painting and I’m right in the middle of doing it” I ask her if she’s been online while she’s been doing it and she says no. Then again it’s only happens about 3 4 times but I’ve only had it for a 2 months. Please fix this thanks!!!.Version: 8.59

My thoughts of SkypeI think that Skype is the best talking app ever exist it is amazing and you can download it in a few seconds and it letting me add people to my call and other apps don’t do that but I haven’t rated it five stars. There is a few bugs that I want it to fix like when you turn your camera screen it takes a few seconds to actually do it and sometimes when I go in the cool it just kicks me out of the app so please fix those bugs but other than that that is perfect for contacting your friends and family and perfect for lockdown so that you can talk to your friends and family if you can’t see them in your household so you should download it..Version: 8.73

A good way to keep in touchThe app is 100% 5 star. It is also good if you have a computer or a laptop and can’t call friends or family. But with SKYPE you can call them without a phone. I also works if … you have a phone you can’t call with, a iPod or iPad, and if you have a Crome, laptop and any other types of computers. So what are you waiting for go and download it. It is for free! 😆.Version: 8.61

Great services in ChinaWhen we go China from western world , it seems like it gets very hard to get in touch via our usual communication media as FB , Viber, whatsup and Google accounts blocked over there. Skype comes in very handy, from now on we will use more of Skyping, great ways of communication, putting people closer across the continents. We felt so lost in China cannot communicate to outside world..Version: 8.30.1

Better than FaceTimeI have been using both Skype and FaceTime since they first were deployed. I have stopped using the latter and now use Skype almost exclusively. The reason: it works. FaceTime constantly drops video with the dreaded “video will resume when quality improves” or something to that effect. That is, when it doesn’t just suddenly quit altogether. In contrast, Skype seems to work better, a lot more often than not. And this is on calls to Europe, thousands of miles away. Yes, the interface is not as good a Apple’s FaceTime, and I do miss the deep system integration with iOS. But I was tired of my family overseas complaining about the quality of our video chats. Since we have all switched to Skype, those issues have largely disappeared. At least so far..Version: 8.59

Pretty good, but there are some changes that need to be made.Skype is great, but there are some problems. So, I Skype call my friends a lot, and half the time I hear myself repeat on their end, and it’s behind. I mean, all calls are a bit behind the time you actually say something, but to hear it repeat is really annoying. Something else that’s annoying is that I have to press Speaker every call. Google Duo, Zoom, Teams, and other apps don’t do this. Also, I would like to have more emojis, or filters during the call. If you could just fix/change these few things, it would be great. I mean, the friend I hear myself echoing through the most does live like two streets over, could that have something to do with it? Again, if someone could fix these or make the changes, it would be really great and amazing! Thank you!.Version: 8.59

Some random blocked contact keeps calling me???Hello Skype, I really like your app and all but like, you need to fix this bug for me because some random blocked contact keeps calling me and it’s annoying. I tried to pick up the call but it wouldn’t let me and when I try to pick it up, they stop ringing my Ipad. I really don’t know who it was and it’s kind of creeping me out. Please fix this for me and thank you..Version: 8.83.2

First time using skype on my phonePretty good overall i gotta say. Still not completely sussed regards app navigation, but got it to do what I needed it to do and thats what counts!.Version: 8.17

Original signin is for Microsoft accountPetlo I also experienced same issue of lost Skype credits as the sign in asks for your Microsoft sign in. However if you sign out and signin with you old user name it finds your credits and contact lists which are lost when signing into new skype account as Microsoft give you new user name. I need also to be able to charge up calls accounts with $50 amount minimum as from memory it’s only max $20. Why they do not give users options to choose any amount for recharge in this digital age is confusing..Version: 8.16

Gold Std for Video CallingI have atleast 5 apps on my phone that can conduct a video call but I still prefer skype. Works gr8 even with the other person’s bandwidth is low. My only complaints are when calling my window cant be moved to a different part of my screen it only sticks to the top right corner of the screen & lack of innovation, why not introduce some video calling games like Fb messenger or snapchat? They are gr8 conversation lubricants..Version: 8.60

Allows an iPad Mini to function as a phoneUsing an iPad Mini as a phone has opened up a world of creative possibilities for me. I can now engage in productive and more rewarding pursuits that were too difficult to do on a smaller phone screen. I can now work on what is most important rather than what is practical to do on a phone. It still fits in my coat pocket and I am upgrading my backpack and other cases so that the iPad is easy to access and carry under any circumstances. It is a shame that Apple doesn’t allow cellular iPads to place and receive calls, but Skype solves that problem well. Most people I call have no idea I am taking to them on an iPad. Bose Quiet Comfort noise cancelling earbuds allow me to have the same level of privacy and clarity I had with my phone. Skype will switch to them if I put them in my ears after I receive a call so I am never stuck with a speaker phone experience..Version: 8.97.1

Awesome app saves money as wellIt’s a must go application for anyone who would like to save money on calling either domestically or abroad. From what i have been experienced is that Skype is offering free calling opportunities for most of major companies such as Apple customer service and to some companies outside the US as well. Another thing is definitely worthy of mentioning is that for those people who dont want to share their personal telephone numbers to strangers when you have to make a phone call to them, skype is an epic choice to do such things, all you need to do is getting signed up, pay at a fair rate and enjoy calling anonymously. Overall, i love this app and will absolutely continue to use it. One shall never misses this great app.Version: 8.71

This would have been 5 stars if only...Alright so I use Skype all the time and I love it because it has such a good quality of sound and it’s significantly better than the normal phone call. I love that it’s fairly easy to use and that you can change the colors of your background to match your personality behaves who doesn’t want to express themselves?!?! Anyways, I literally love this app but there’s only one problem. Why don’t I get any notifications while I’m on a call??? I’ve missed some very important messages and I’ve almost been grounded on many occasions due to the fact that I’m not getting the notifications while I’m in a call. And what’s even worse is that my boyfriend has been using Skype for WAAAYYYYY longer than I have and he’s had this problem the entire time he’s been using it but just never said anything about it. Alongside of myself, all of my friends have the same problem and was wondering if that minor problem could possibly be fixed because it would life a lot easier. Thank you very much..Version: 8.22

AMAZING APPI have had this game when COVID pandemic started, it helps me stay connected with friends and fam, nothing bad to say about this app. I strongly suggest you get this app and add all of the people you know onto it it is a very helpful app it’s very kid safe and it gives you many options of blocking people hiding my conversations and not letting them speak to you and then you can also add them and speak with them and call them you can turn on and off your video you can mute yourself and there are so many fun options so I strongly strongly strongly suggest getting this app is very safe and you don’t need to worry about a child safety I mean strangers can text them but if they tell someone immediately you can block that stranger it has not happened to me that many times where someone who I don’t know texts me that’s very rare. THANKS SO KUCH FOR READING!!!.Version: 8.66

Positive Updated ReviewI appreciate that Skype has changed its UI back to being practical and user friendly. Getting rid of useless features and colors have made this app more professional looking and easier to navigate. Old Review The new Skype interface is complete garbage. It now has unnecessary features such as "highlight" and "capture" which makes it seem like a wannabe Snapchat, but fails at being Snapchat. I get that Skype wants to have a "cool" and "modern" look but there are way too many squiggly lines and the options for different colors is useless. The white background and black text makes the interface look bare and confusing when trying to navigate the app. Overall, it seems like Skype has lost itself. The app focuses way too much on the "minimalistic" design, but fails to deliver practically and usability. It emphasizes useless features and hides the important ones..Version: 8.66

Please stopI’ve been using Skype for years, mainly because it’s better than FaceTime and Snapchat when it comes to just calling, but for the love of god, please stop showing me the would you like to respond or whatever it’s called when my call doesn’t go through or the someone I’m trying to call doesn’t pick up or whatever the case may be. If I’m going to respond I’ll just do it in the chat, I don’t need you to pull up some auto response of “please give me a call back.” Or whatever it says, the reason I’m writing this is mainly due to the fact of this feature deleting the text I had there with the “please give me a call back,” text. I spent a good 30-45 minutes writing a message to my girlfriend just to have it disappear. It’s a bad feature, and I hope to see it be removed or at least give us the option to turn it off. (there is no way that I know of to turn it off).Version: 8.56

A few problemsHello Skype team. I’ve been using Skype for several years and it’s an amazing app. However, I think it’s not enough cause this app should rock! As one of the oldest apps in the store and even before store, Skype needs and few improvements. First of all Skype doesn’t keep my status when I define it, e.g. to invisible or away. It always gets back to visible. Secondly message delivery on Skype is poor. Sometimes the messages don’t deliver until an hour after they’re sent. And the last but not the least (of what I have noticed) is the notifications. Skype doesn’t send notifications and if I don’t check the app it won’t let me know in notifications that I’ve had a message or a missed call. I hope these issues will be fixed I don’t wanna give up on this app. Cheers guys.Version: 8.62.1

Useful but needs improvementsI use this app all the time, I talk to people from different parts of the world for work, and it’s fantastic because it has a live translation feature where you can translate in a video call as the words are being spoken, and you can translate in text automatically. But the problem is that it doesn’t always work, in a video call sometimes we have to end the call and restart multiple times before the translations will initiate, and sometimes in the text it won’t work until we reboot the entire phone or computer. All I really have to say about this app in a negative aspect is that it just needs to be more reliable and consistent, other than that it’s a fantastic app. I’ve been using this application since 2013..Version: 8.79.2

BUGBonjour il y a un bug ne peux mettre à jour l’application dans Apple Store. Merci de faire la correction..Version: 8.38

Great app continuously improvingWe use our app for communicating with our drivers, alot of the times they recieve the notification while driving but because they can't hear it they don't even know a message came through!!! So one massive improvement needs to be able to have message customisation tones for people to hear the message actually came through... Otherwise great app very happy 😀.Version: 8.35

Skype is Amazing but...Look I love this app for the phone, and for the computer and well all platforms. Although, I must admit the quality on some devices is not as good as others. So for instance, I talk to many people in other countries and sometimes their computers are better to hear and see them from while other times their phones. What my point is, although I move the good graphics and interaction that this is capable of. You should try increasing the audio (make more clear) and cross platform capabilities. This is just my request, thank you for your time. Also yes I know audio is more of a device issue than a programming thus difficult to fix, although the cross platform issue may be slightly difficult but worth it. Thank you again for your time and sorry for pointing out the difficult parts, please just try not to take it to personally..Version: 8.59

Fantastic!Hi. I’ve been using Skype for years now, and it’s a quality product that I would recommend to anyone. However, I’ve run into an issue lately when calling Chinese landlines and mobiles whilst in China. Do I need to subscribe to the China calls per minute package, because I’m currently topping up to calls all around the world which already includes mobiles and landlines. If this isn’t the case, why can’t I call a Chinese landline or mobile whilst in China, and when would you be able to fix the problem? Thank you..Version: 8.55

Still really happy. Telecom bargain!I’ve left several reviews, but as an American living in Italy with lots of family in the United States, paying just over $30 a year I can make unlimited phone calls to any phone number, landline, cell phone, or even toll-free number using Skype. I know there are other free services but most won’t let you call land lines or toll-free numbers. Having that subscription I also pay another $30 a year for a San Francisco phone number that anyone can call in the United States that reaches me here in Italy on my Italian cell. It’s also great because that’s the number that shows up as caller ID when I make calls. Highly recommended. And I love the fact that if you hold your finger on the icon you can bring up the dial pad and quickly paste in any phone number in the US. The subscription plan is very cheap and very good. ONE BIG TIP: if you travel outside of the United States BEFORE you go take out a United States subscription which is now either three or 3 1/2 dollars. This way you can make unlimited calls back home for a month while you’re out of the country when you’re on Wi-Fi. Yes there are many ways to make free phone calls but the subscription will let you call landlines, toll-free numbers like maybe your bank or credit card company that you can’t access with other free services. If you make only one phone call while you’re away it will pay for the service. Then just cancel it when you get back home..Version: 8.74.1

FantasticFantastic product we run our international company through Skype - it means no matter where we are we can be contacted by our clients easily and at an affordable cost. Whether or not we are in town then it’s invisible to our client base. Highly recommended.Version: 8.66

Why I put 4/5Do you love Skype I chat to all my friends on there is a great app you know but whenever I’m trying to call my friend I have a great Internet great connection, but the other side can’t hear me very well and very quiet. Then she can hair, blowy wind, and then try and hear me, but it keeps being really glitchy and I think Skype may need an update to help that because I really need to hear my friend when she’s talking to me because it won’t work, but Skype creators can you reply to me and give me an answer because I’m not quite sure.Version: 8.100

Top App!!I have been with Skype for many years now, but because of Messenger, I have not used Skype it in the past as much as I should. Having recently used it to make calls to the UK, to sort problems with my UK bank, I found it so brilliant and clear, not to mention VERY much cheaper than using my Australia mobile. I cannot rate or recommend the Skype App more highly. Keep up the good work. 👏👍😎.Version: 8.98.2

Couldn’t be without SkypeJust a normal guy living in Thailand and goodness knows how I would get by without Skype. I use it to call landlines to people I need to speak to that do not have WiFi, mainly my mum. I have used this for many years, calling from Singapore, China, Brazil, Baku and Thailand and have never had any real problems, just the occasional bad line. This is my first review after being asked many times to write 1 and probably my last. Thank you Skype, excellent service for many years, keep up the good work.Version: 8.50

Poor poor qualityVery disappointed to see how skype has deteriorated over the last few months, i pay a worldwide subscription that i’m about to cancel because it is not working at all, problem one, when making a phone call “it appears to be ringing but the truth is that is not, while is ringing the actual ringing sound is of an awful quality and it rings on and on but when i manage to communicate with the other person they tell me that it has not been ringing at all, problem two, even if the call goes through, i cannot be heard, sound quality is just diabolical, and there is always a lag of about 10 seconds, really terrible, so gutted.Version: 8.28

Works Well With 50-mps Wifi1) My experience with Skype over the last six years has been very good on both my laptop and my iPhone. I mostly use Skype for calling telephone numbers. Indeed, I have listened to lectures by dialing a phone number and experiencing excellent connections for hours at time. 2) With this app on my iPhone, the volume and clarity are particularly good with 50-mps wifi on my end. 3) Some other times, the volume of the other person has been a bit low, but I was still able to understand what the other person was saying. 4) The only funky thing that I have found with the app was when I wanted to add a secondary email address to my account. I read help first, but it seemed to be out of date since the navigation information in the help text didn’t correspond very well with the app. Eventually, I deduced that I couldn’t use the app to update my email addresses. I had to chat with support and login in to the Skype website to make the modifications. Most apps allow you to change email addresses within the apps..Version: 8.30.1

Thanks!I like this because my other Dad in Ontario we Skype a lot and say hello and come more closer together and bing is so fun!.Version: 8.108

Very useful and maddeningFor international calls Skype is the most reliable, especially to landlines. When I cannot have a decent WhatsApp conversation because of bandwidth, Skype comes to the rescue. That said, I have no idea where Skype picks its contacts list from, and I can’t even look up e of my own contacts. I end up looking up the contact in my contacts app and typing it into Skype as even pasting seems impossible. That is mad! I never do Skype-to-Skype,those days are 10 years ago and yet that’s what Skype seems to want me to do..Version: 8.95.1

Much better!The quality of the calls are still pretty good. The latest version is MUCH improved..Version: 8.17

This app is amazingMe and my friend call on this app every single day but she does keep getting signed out and she gets really sad and we both get anxiety when that happens and it’s really scary and we think we won’t be able to call again and it gives us anxiety but other than that it’s absolutely amazing love it it’s just sooo amazing we can talk and we’re crazy with each other we can do whatever when we call and it’s just so good if you don’t have this calling app you should get it it’s so amazing.Version: 8.88

Love this appThis app is very inclusive of the lgbtq community which I am a part of and the black community which I support if you want to know I am Omni sexual likening girls more and non binary less I don’t like boys and I am also gender fluid being a non binary today. The screen is so clear and the audio there are so many things u can do on Skype and I have been using for a while now..Version: 8.66

Good ApI like that you don’t need a mobile phone number to set up. Good quality audio and video too..Version: 8.30.1

Great deal for international callsI’ve been using Skype for more than 5 years, I’m only used it for international calls that other Facebook message, Line and WhatsApp those social media app can not offer for the other call. I’ve been paying with automatic charge credit and never have a problem with it. The quality is good and affordable deal. Strong recommended..Version: 8.27

Great App - Could be even better with messagingFor telephony needs nothing is better than Skype when you are overseas giving you the ability to call any landline or mobile with a small credit balance. Being the first system I can recall to allow this, I mean before WhatsApp and Viber, I think Skype would be the total package if it also had a better messaging system. Then no one would need the other apps....Version: 8.30

So convenient for a chatI have enjoyed being able to call family overseas on Skype for a catch-up far more often than I could afford using a regular call provider. Great stuff 👍.Version: 8.50

Phone inventerContrary to what has been stated by a Reviewer (Totally T111).The phone was not invented by Graham Bell but by Antonio Meucci. Get the facts right! Thanks to him that we are able to communicate long distances including Skype. I use it as a paying phone to call landline and non-smart cellphones wherever, in the world I happen to be, provided I have an Internet connection. Responding to another Reviewer about not having his Skype credit available immediately. I have an automated "top up" system in place with my Bank that whenever my credit falls below my agreed amount with Skype it charges my Bank a/c being instantly available. Great App. ginosydney.Version: 8.55

Simply the bestI’m using Skype every day for voice and document sharing. It has speed, clear voice and durable video. Only issue is you need to have good internet connection and speed.Version: 8.52

Great app, reliableThanks Skype for a reliable app that works on all my devices and gives me the flexibility I need!.Version: 8.35

Returning userI used to use Skype a lot but for what ever reason I switched to another app. Recently returned to Skype and was pleasantly surprised with the improved quality and multi screen chat. Iove it.Version: 8.61

Loved it for years but very important issueOccasionally I get a glitched call with the name "Blocked" and 1 second later it disappears. This even happens when in Skype call. It's is probably because I have Skype for iPad by you and Skype (this app) but it's very disturbing... it once happened when my iPad was locked lol. So I'm now going to try getting rid of one Skype and reinstalling the other. Nevertheless, please fix this bug.Version: 8.83.2

The BestI use Skype from New Zealand to Norway and the US regularly and it’s wonderful and clear most of the time. Excellent sound and picture quality..Version: 8.20

To Skype teamI love your app you can call your friends , family anyone anytime you want but you get callers then you don’t know and can’t remove I hate that this is not hate on your app I just want you to at lest try to fix it because i liked how you designed it and how you can call whenever you feel like it and it’s a really nice app to call and text you can never forget about texting because I always text my besties and cousins aunt’s uncle’s and way more but like can you fix the bug because I don’t want to go back to FaceTime so pls add the remove button so I don’t rate Skype a 1 don’t think I’m a hater because I love your app it’s just like fix your bugs..Version: 8.95.1

Indispensable tool for meI have been using Skype since around 2004. Living in France at the time it provided an amazing way to connect to my family back in U.K. A techie guy from Philips told me about it. Now living back in U.K. I use it several times a week to teach English to French clients. It is an amazing tool which costs nothing to use Skype to Skype, and costs are very low Skype to international landlines or mobiles. I recently discovered how to attribute a name to a (landline or mobile) phone number and add it to my contacts, which was something I would have mentioned here if I had not managed to resolve. I have always highly recommend Skype to anyone who doesn’t already use it, and of course will continue to do so. Brilliant app!.Version: 8.30.1

Skype app is just what you need!I think Skype mobile app has come a long way. I was not a big fan of it when it stared. Used to lag and wasn’t that responsive or user friendly but now it is completely different. It is great in every way. Especially the call quality which is excellent. Thank you for a product like this!!.Version: 8.22

Does what it’s good forI use skype for calls, and the calls are very clear whwn compared to other apps. I’m not using other gimmicks like the highlights and other stuff. But the calls are just fine.Version: 8.18.1

I LOVE this appThis is an app that you can use to talk with your friends and family thx ttyl.Version: 8.58

Best for AI for Q +A, and citations/ sources.This a great application for the introduction of Bing AI, its very intuitive and responsive. It creates genuine answers complete with online sources of the information. This is something that Open AI’s ChatGPT lacks, even though the underlying technology is tge same. While i dont like the ( ☺️ )emoji it puts at the end of every response, its genuinely good for generating ideas. Very much ahead of the game. It's also really good for fact-checking other AI-generated content, for those that are not yet updated after 2021. I’ve also been very impressed with its ability to generate itineraries for a good amount of places. Everything from one-day trips, with travel, meal, attractions, and max / minimum cost and time for each itinerary. Very impressed..Version: 8.97.1

Skype, my friend & companion .I love Skype because it keeps me in close contact with my family & friends. At 83, when I feel lonesome sometimes, Skype comes to my rescue & all's well again !.Version: 8.44

Great! But..I’ve been a long time Skype user. And honestly, its great! I’ve been able to keep in touch with my friend after the social media site we used to frequent shut down. This app has everything we need: a call session with the option to turn on the camera, ability to send pictures and chat, and the ability to quote chat bubbles to make fun of each other’s typos! However, there are a few issues that really annoy my friend and I. For one, sometimes notifications won’t send! I hope anyone can see why this is super infuriating (and really, it was so infuriating that it’s the reason why I’m writing this review). Second, the emojis are too much. I really dislike them and wish there was a proper way to completely shut them off. Third of all, while this might be a nit pick, a lot of the features are a bit too much. There’s a lot of things in this app that are nice and all.. but is it really necessary? Like emojis, bots, etc. Overall, I like this app, but there are a few things I want fixed. (Also, my friend noticed that this app would sometimes lag, freeze, and crash? I’ve experienced this too, and if it’s the app’s issue, then please fix this. If this is an issue with having many things loaded on our devices, then ignore this).Version: 8.27

TrustedWorking and doing business in China has its challenges and often comms with the West is one. Skype is always the reliable platform for talking and conferencing. Always simple too. A trusted legend..Version: 8.66

So far so goodProbably the best, most stable version since 2004. People who can't figure out the new design need to get their grand kids on the phone :-).Version: 8.35

Reliable over the yearssssI have been on Skype since 2002. For sixteen years, this has been my favorite app as it has kept up with the improvements in technology. Over the past years, I have been on international trips and Skype has kept me connected to my family and relatives in 3 different countries. The quality of calls has improved a lot over the years, too - sparing me from huge amounts of phone bills. However, I believe that the key is to have a decent internet connection. I am really impressed that is now being used widely both for personal and business communications. I have had lots of job interviews through call conferences. Love the emojis as they also keep up with the times, i.e., diversity. I can actually choose the color of the skin of the clapping hands or see different options on couples. I can go on for the many ways Skype has been an essential part of my life through the years - forever loyal to you! Thanks, Skype 👏🏼🙌🏼 🍾..Version: 8.28

By No Means Perfect But...Without it I would be unable to keep in contact with my Husband, who is working abroad. I rely on this app quite heavily, staying connected to my husband for hrs at a time over the weekends. Makes our time apart easier to bare, the connection is not perfect and it has been known to disconnect. But I would hate to imagine what these calls would be costing if we had to pay for international calling, not to mention streaming video. Improvements can be made certainly, but it’s better than nothing, sometimes I do wish people would stop the bellyaching, and try to remember what the world was like before such services. ✌🏾.Version: 8.18.1

Been using Skype for decades...Been using Skype for decades, it’s the mainstay of the net. I use Skype credit to call friends who only have mobiles in the UK from Australia (if only these folk left Skype running on their phones it’d be free calls and I always forget to say turn Skype on and I’ll call you back, oh well!) I recon it’s cheaper using Skype credit from Australia to a UK mobile than it is calling mobile to mobile across networks within the UK its self! Verify your own mobile number into your Skype profile with your international prefix +61 or +44 etc then dropping the 0 from the start of your home or mobile number, after verification remember to tick send my caller ID then you mates will know it’s you calling or contact you back on your regular phone. I still haven’t got over Microsoft buying up Skype but they seem to have now slowed down on anymore dumb changes, let’s keep it that way... And while I’m in the mood for a rant ‘No more’ interfering Microsoft pop up suggestions within Skype would be nice, I open Skype to use Skype and nothing else, so stop being annoying Microsoft, we were here before you....Version: 8.42

Hopefully Microsoft is finally listening to end usersI’ve watched Skype over the years quite closely and used a lot personally and in corporate. I’ve watched as they frig them self with forced notifications on skype. You couldn’t stop without deletion. I’m not sure what exec was on crack then but it was under ballmers watch, that’s all I’m saying. Less crack, more listening to customers. Thankyou..Version: 8.35

It’s an OK appIve been using Skype for a while really since its been around kinda like aol. So my husband and i are long distance im in Ne and he’s in Fl and im going to visit him in June and can’t wait. The only issues i have with Skype is we like to fall asleep on the phone at night and through the night it gets disconnected or it beeps and then it ends the call we are both on Wi-Fi but it still tends to drop the call. I would love it if something’s would updated and when it gets an update i feel like its gets worse. It’s kinda like the apps i use for work the update fixes one thing but 40 other things pop up i get it thats the software world but it would be nice to have something stable and reliable especially for how long Skype has been around. Idk it could just be me asking to much out of a app but it just gets a little frustrating sometimes. Another thing to add to this review is sometimes the messages don’t go through and they sit and spin so i have to hang up the call and force the app to close then they all get sent at the same time. I don’t know if any one else is having that problem but its quite annoying..Version: 8.97

Good app, better than laptop but pushyThe app is good and easy. Way better and quicker than setting up a laptop and on a tablet even the screen size is fine. The only issue with Skype as a whole is they are pushy, interrupting offering deals, asking “how did we do” and demanding information. In addition they always seem to want to update so a quick Skype call takes longer as it nearly always starts “Skype needs to update” and there is no later button. For this reason I often use Teams, WhatsApp or similar instead..Version: 8.99

Mixed bagThere is no doubt the quality of Skype-Skype calls has improved out of sight this last few years. The development investment makes for a robust peer-peer communication. This is great news indeed. Not so good, is letting the support for older iPhones lapse. I still use my trusty iphone4 as a second device but, Skype, like WhatsApp, appear to have let support fall by wayside. Not good. The adjacent comment regarding the obscure user interface is right on money, and always has been. Despite persistent UI issues, I have been a committed user of Skype for nearly a decade. One day I hope to be able to add a new contact without having to relearn the process each time. One day... but I’m not holding my breath. Thank goodness for the fabulous quality connection when in use..Version: 8.21

SkypeI love how you can chat to others all the time also with the stickers, emojis, private conversations and gifs, but I updated it one or two weeks ago and whenever I go into that app, it just makes me update it again, and it VERY annoying. Another problem is that on my iPad, I have a friend, but I can only see that person’s profile, and I CANNOT see the name..Version: 8.98

UpdateWhy is it kept asking me to update every time.Version: 8.38

Always been a user but not a regular !!Currently on holiday & had a credit so called New Zealand from the UK. Quick connection and similar quality to a local call with no delay apparent. Much improved app from earlier days !!.Version: 8.25

Love this app!I use Skype to call my family overseas in Botswana. So far it’s been fantastic and quiet affordable. Australian networks are very expensive to call African countries except South Africa, Nigeria and maybe Egypt. Skype offers a significant discount with good quality calls. I don’t even buy international credit on my mobile plans any more. Still would like text messaging back. Used to be able to text people not on skype to their mobiles. It was an excellent function. Please bring it back 😊.Version: 8.24

Connecting the WorldI love being able to call anyone in the world using my iPhone for those calls at a very reasonable cost and even free via our Microsoft software subscription. Conversations with my 93 year old Dad who doesn’t understand FaceTime or other apps, lives in Australia (I’m in Singapore) are a snap using Skype. Thank you for keeping us all connected..Version: 8.90.3

Old version is betterI use an iPhone 6S plus and i really like the customisation on the new Skype app, But the user interface is a bit to “tender” it looks more like an app like Snapchat or Instagram, the old version looked different, unique, it was basically like a desktop version of an app but on a smartphone, oddly enough, it worked much better, calls are a bit crackly, but no problems otherwise except the fact that some texts from others, I will receive late, or sometimes the app will crash in the middle of a call, Microsoft, handle this as seriously as you handle Xbox, as I frequently use your products or apps, some are fantastic, but some are *cough (Skype) cough*, a bit dodgy. Have a nice one *\(•_•)/*.Version: 8.18

Always reliableIf you can’t get them on Skype you can’t get them at all. The new interface takes a little bit to get used to..Version: 8.34

Mr. JoshuaWe use Skype very often. Communicating through Skype, better than phone as it is clear, and we are able to attach files, etc. Thank you Skype and team.Version: 8.52

It works really wellI’ve used Skype for very many years and I love the way I can just hit a button and make a call. I’ve recently had cause to use a plethora of other video conferencing apps as none of them come near Skype for just being able to make a call when you want. No messing around with setting up meetings!! (Skype for business is silly. Why create a different, tough to use, product, that’s incompatible with the proper Skype and then give it same name?! - and it can’t make calls without pre arrangements).Version: 8.58

Good serviceI’ve been using Skype for years. As an aid worker I’m often calling home from places with poor connection, but usually Skype has provided a cheap alternative to stay in touch with relatives and friends at home. Ps - I’m surprised at the other review from a person with a PhD in computer science who can’t figure out how to put it on speaker on an iPhone. Just click the speaker symbol mate.... and I didn’t even need a PhD in computers for that..Version: 8.53

Extremely helpfulVery convenient and helpful application. It’s almost stable connection every time.Version: 8.46

Good app but acting upThis is a great app. It’s really easy to get in touch with all of my friends and video chat for free. I was loving this app until a couple of months ago it started to not work properly. Every time I would try to text it wouldn’t send but would just load forever. I’ve tried logging out of my account and signing back it but it still wasn’t working. I came to the conclusion that I would have to delete the app and then re-download which I am doing right now. Apart from that issue it’s a great app. I would definitely recommend..Version: 8.25

ONKY SOLUTION WE FOUND!!!Our family is in a trip for the week atone of the Hocking Hills cabins where there is no cellular service or connections but they do have WiFi. We thought we’d be able to use WiFi calling but it didn’t work. The cabin also has an internet phone but was experiencing difficulties with connecting so we had NO phone. It wasn’t a huge deal but for safety reasons I prefer to have an emergency line to call out. I downloaded several apps that said we could make calls via WiFi and none worked. I also tried using my business line which we use a digital service provider for and it worked but only twice then kept failing. Our second day here while in my wife’s computer Skype popped up which I had forgotten about. And man was I glad it did because it worked AMAZINGLY! Outside of a lag in the call it was the ONLY things that worked which allowed us to contact the cabin staff regarding the phone and schedule some of the events we wanted to do with the kiddos. Truly appreciate having Skype!.Version: 8.70

Fantastic AppSkype calling is amazing and efficient. I’m working on a list making sales calls from New Zealand to the US and it’s marvellous value for the amount of calls I make..Version: 8.99.1

What a dream!Now that I can make meeting calls for free with as many people as I'd like and no time limit, no more need for Zoom! Thank you SKYPE for making life and work so much more affordable, convenient and better!.Version: 8.72

HappyThank you, how wonderful to be able to stay in contact with loved ones at the other side of the globe. I always have a good clear connection. Thank you again..Version: 8.34

A Proven ToolWe hear lots about Zoom being used during the virus time, but it’s hackable to this day. We as a company use Skype instead for meeting, video and audio. For the last several months we converted almost all meetings to Skype: Commonly from three to fourteen people, many sharing screens/docs/presentations. We used it early in the crisis for an all company announcement with over 60 computers. I commonly use a PC for it, but I just finished participating in a skype session via my iPhone. We’ve been successful both with internal network only as well as a larger mixed internal and external set of participants. Skype allows you to create a meeting link; all participants click on it; and go from there. Having 5-10 people full video is not a problem. Skype has been a business saver..Version: 8.62.1

A review for SkypeLOVE IT!!! Call quality is great, no technical problems. Just one thing, When I’m calling someone, it calls but It doesn’t say that I’m actually calling them. When I call on my second try, it works! I can live with that though, By the way can you make a feature where you can gift people credit and add more reactions on mobile while call? Thanks..Version: 8.108

Incredibly Awesome - Unites the world!Yesterday I had to be admitted to hospital far away from my home so my wife can’t visit or see me regularly. But with Skype we were able to speak & see each other even the food I eat. She is Burmese and today we had a 3 way video call between 2 areas in Australia and Burma. Amazing how we are all being united. Congratulations Microsoft for bringing the world together..Version: 8.24

Great for overseas callsI haven't used this app in a long time, with so many other apps providing video and audio internet calling. But I've recently used it to make long distance international calls and the call quality is so much better than regular internet calls! I found the app easy to use despite not being familiar with the current UI design, which suggests it's a pretty good design for novices to pick up..Version: 8.57

So much improvement!Before FaceTime became one of apps to communicate, I used to use Skype but the connection was not clear and time lags were unpleasant. Since my parents are old and have no clue what FaceTime, WhatsApp and Snapchat are, they still use land line. To communicate with them from abroad, using mobile phone is too expensive. Skype! Yes, good old Skype is a saviour! I am quite impressed with the quality of the call. I will probably use more of this as I started travelling a lot after lockdown was over..Version: 8.75

Nice working App on I PhoneI‘ve been using Skype for a long time now, works good on Iphone. Had more trouble using it on Windows Phones than now. Good if the other person doesn’t have Facetime..Version: 8.42

AMAZING!!!I have been using it for years and it’s been fantastic. This app is so good and fun because you can use EMOJIS 💁🏻‍♀️ and it helps me with calling my friends and I hope you get this app at the age 8+ I now it’s 12+ but I am 9+ and I have it my mum and dad let me but I am so nice I do nice things and you get good friends like me 🤩 so please get it I will now give you good information ℹ️: 1# ask your mom or dad to get it and if he or she says yes get it 2# be nice to your friends so they do not delete you ok well that’s it for now so I HOPE YOU HAVE I NICE TIME BYE-BYE See ya I.Version: 8.63

Good quality calls, but not the best interfaceDespite having an account for many years and rarely using it, I have been much more active over the last month or two (along with quite a few others obviously). The quality of the calls (connection, lag, video quality etc) is quite good despite me often having fairly poor connections to the internet. In the end of the day, this is the most important factor for this style of application. The interface is a little confusing when you are setting it up, but again, once its all done and you are used to it, the service itself is quite good. I have generally been opposed to video calls, as normally I like to clean/do other things when on the phone (and thats perfectly socially acceptable on a voice call) but clearly I can’t do that when I video call. That said, with reduced human contact of late, I have found that you do certainly get more out of a video chat than a voice chat and so it will be interesting to see how much we continue using it once things are a bit more normal..Version: 8.59

VonniemayGood for calls with Canada most times although when bad it’s real bad not so good with Turkey anytime but I love it just the same and a big improvement on what it was and most other countries it’s good.Version: 8.60

11 years of experienceI’ve been using Skype for more than 11 years now, through its ups and downs. Just finally installed the most recent version on my iPhone X, so haven’t used it for a few months now. This version is more stable, and higher quality than I’ve seen from Skype for a while. When we first started using it, talking back and forth between Japan and the United States in 2008, it was the only game in town and it was great to have! Over the years though, especially shortly after Microsoft took it over, it got really glitchy and frustrating to use. Now, using it for a half hour video call to Russia, I have basically no problems with it. Sound quality, video quality, ease-of-use, all basically very good. My one issue, and the reason I only give it four stars instead of five, is that the screen sharing isn’t working as expected. Looks like the functionality should be there, but simply hitting the share screen button took me to a dialog box which asked about which app I would like to record. Record? I tried that, but all I did was, well, record. Looks like maybe there’s just some sort of disconnect, perhaps easy to fix, in the software. Overall, very nice to see that Skype is once again a viable option!.Version: 8.48

Voice message issue with airpodI can not send voice message with my AirPod, except this, it works perfectly for me ..Version: 8.109

Awesome Networking, Telephony and Video conference toolThanks to Skype I use Skype for Video Conferencing, Team Conferenceing and my telephony instead using an overpriced major Telco!! I can get my customers in Europe, America’s, Asia and other places to press one button and it dials my business no matter where I am in the world. If you have not looked at Microsoft’s collaboration and conferencing tools frankly you have no clue!.Version: 8.59

Long Time Skype User Love It!I'm a long time Skype user - well over 10 years. I have 1,478 contacts on Skype. I just got off an 83 minute call in Greece initiated by the other party. The call was FREE to the both of us-Amazing! It was crystal clear. I know people whine and complain about Skype but, in my experience, they're the same people who whine and complain about everything in life. They're malcontents- negative, critical, naysayers, despicable, unforgiving, rude, unhappy, faultfinders, whose opinions should be discarded. I learned a long time ago that I need to be willing to give everything I do a minimum of five years to achieve the best results and that commitment has served me well all these years. People give up too easily, too quickly and that hurts them. Skype does extraordinarily well for me, my business relationships, my clients, referral partners and prospective clients. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. Well done. You're the best!.Version: 8.93.1

Group calls and screen sharing are brilliant featuresSkype stands out from other social networking sites for me with its ease of use for group calls. For really large groups, when people who are not talking are either silent or choose to mute their microphones the sound quality is excellent. If people leave their microphones on then it does what it should and picks up their voices and any movements they make. For business meetings screen sharing is amazing. You can have a meeting and see what the other person is doing which makes a lot less work than having to explain everything in detail step by step: a picture is worth 1000 words. With National and international calls via the web...what’s not to like? It’s a great app..Version: 8.52

Good app, needs more functionalitySkype is a very useful and helpful service for international calling. Confusing interface. When you click the iPhone button to tune your screen off, the Skype call terminates. This means, unlike a regular phone call on iPhone where I turn the screen off, continue my conversation, and put the phone in my pocket with headphones all the time, the Skype app will automatically hang up on whomever I’m talking to. This is especially obnoxious with international customer service phone calls where I had to wait 30 minutes in a phone queue, and then accidentally hung up on the customer service rep I was talking to. They can’t call me back of course because Skype generates those electronic web phone numbers, which are not associated with anyone’s device, and so I’m screwed. Please change this feature, Skype! Make the app continue the phone call when an iPhone user clicks the power button to sleep their screen..Version: 8.39

Overall good but needs improvementAs someone in a long distance relationship, I depend heavily on video calling. Quality of Skype calls are pretty good and I like the ability to use Skype on any device. That being said, my boyfriend is Deaf and we use ASL to communicate. I don’t need the notifications saying “people are having trouble hearing you. Try moving closer to the microphone or eliminate background noise.” I understand that I’m getting this because it’s not picking up sound from my end, but I can promise doing those things won’t help so I’d appreciate not getting constant reminders. I’ve also been recently struggling with the little box that’s supposed to show me just shows black. The other person can see me fine, but I can’t see myself. This makes it very difficult to make sure I’m always on screen and able to be seen..Version: 8.33

No problems with landline calls abroadI am using the Skype App to contact friends and family in England and abroad (paying £5.99 per month to call landlines). 99% of the calls are very good quality; occasionally I get a bit of echo or a slight time delay. Every time that happens, I send a feedback rating to Skype and the problem gets fixed immediately. I’ve been using the app on a daily basis for a couple of years now and can only recommend it. It might be worth mentioning that I only use it from home when I’m connected to WiFi, therefore I cannot comment on how it works on 4G..Version: 8.18.1

I love the app it is sooo much funPerfect 👌.Version: 8.55

Works well for my needsBeing stationed in an Asian country for most part of the year - and having got rid of social media apps on my device that would otherwise enable cheap audio chat with loved ones - I find my Skype app is the next best thing. One feature I love on the Skype app is the free Bing Chat feature. I can ask Microsoft’s artificial intelligence all sorts of difficult questions. Then the record of my difficult questions is preserved on the app and is searchable for future reference to assist with writing and blogging tasks.Version: 8.102

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.Version: 8.94.2

Great but wish it would go into a small breakout screenWorks really well, just wish it would be able to have a small break out screen when you are looking at other things on your laptop / phone so it can keep the video going all through the chat.

Suggestions are annoying and crashes oftenI’ve used Skype for 2-3 years now and it wasn’t really that bad. I used it everyday to call and text my friends. But there’s a slight problem. There are always these suggestions I can use if I send a message or someone sends me a message. I press the button that these aren’t useful, but they keep coming back! I dislike the suggestions because I accidentally keep pressing it and it immediately sends and makes my friend confused. Also, whenever I call someone, it won’t even let me turn off my phone! It is so annoying because when I turn off my phone so save battery while calling, it immediately hangs up. Whenever I call on the computer and go on another tab at the same time (like playing a game), it affects my game. It freezes my game all the time. Also, my Skype just crashes when I call on the computer. It immediately closes the tab and hangs up. It gets me and my friend really irritated. I love this app but it just has a few problems that needs to be fixed.Version: 8.37

Does what it says on the tinThis is an essential app for use on holiday . Nowadays you can use your own minutes and data abroad BUT if you call a local number it will cost out at international rates and that’s where Skype comes into its own .i called busch gardens whilst in the states and was on hold for about 20 minutes call cost 6 cents . .......... what more do you want !!!!!only possible gripe is that your minutes credit disappears after 12 months but you can press a button to get it back if you are aware of that ...Version: 8.29

Skype yogaWe’ve been using Skype to do yoga between New Zealand and Germany since March. The app has been reliable every time - a real relief in this unsettling time, as the ability to share yoga has been really grounding for us all. Thanks Skype team. ☮️🕉🙏🏻.Version: 8.61

StewartinozI’ve been using Skype since 2002 both for contacts computer to computer and dial pad. I now use the latter for my overseas calls if On Line is not available. Love it. Small note of complaint. If Skype numbers were free I would get one because many of my friend see only International Call and don’t answer due to those misbegotten peasants’ nuisance calls telling that they are from Microsoft and the computer is sending Errors and they want to get on your computer and extract money to fix the problems. Many of my friends have their phones set to block International calls. Always some idiot on the make spoiling a good system..Version: 8.29

I love Skype!!!!I would definitely recommend Skype to my friends and family and I already have some on the platform! I know you love to make money and all, but I think you should remove paying to call on mobile. I think it’s just stupid. But you can make groups and call with the groups, I honestly love it. The reason I’m writing this and taking time out of my day, That’s how much I love Skype! I get to share photos and I also found family members in the You may know section! If you haven’t downloaded Skype your wasting your time. (Well doing it kinda wastes your time but in a good way!) I really love Skype and the creators, thank you for all of your hard work on this application/App. I would write more but I’m out of ideas to talk about and I think this review is really long, again thank you for reading this, and all your hard work Skype. Bye!.Version: 8.16

Skype ReveiwI think Skype is a really good app but when I want to chat with my friends I can sometimes glitch out of calls and sometimes the emojis are limited also sometimes it gets confusing when it says this person was seen 21 minutes ago but they messaged me 2 minutes ago I’m not sure why this is happening but it can get very confusing. Also sometimes when I try to send pictures they turn out white and don’t send. Also once you have sent a message to someone it shows the profile picture but when I am on calls with my friends they say that they never saw the message. I would also like to say that sometimes it tags out what I want to say and the predictive text is so annoying I try to send a simple message to my friend but then it says something completely different. Over all I think that Skype is a very good app and the safety rules for kids are amazing all I think is that there need to be a couple of changes. Thank you for reading my review..Version: 8.68
