Skype for iPad Cons

Newest version (8.27 & up) on iPadAs others have said, truly the worst update of any app I have ever seen. It took an acceptable app and made it almost impossible to modify data even if wrong. Has a help button that is very hard to find, must less a smart help. How do you add a second number to a contact? The entire man-machine interface is a farce, with no intuitiveness, or useful menus. I hate to say it, but as someone who used to design hardware and software, I would fire the entire group of people who are responsible for the man-machine interface on this latest version, and start over. Or at least go back to previous man-machine interface. I guess is that if you only add up reviews since the latest version, more than 70% rate the version as bad to worse - due mainly to a terrible GUI..EgsellixVersion: 8.33

Good to BadI placed a review for Skype for iPhone in which I complained that I could not access my Contact list since my primary use of Skype is for Skype Out. Skype told me (and commented under my review) that they were aware of this and were going to fix it. Now I notice that, in this latest update of Skype for iPad, they have taken away the ability to access the Contact list on the iPad version. Come on, guys!.HoggedVersion: 8.25
