Ratings and reviews

Can you maybe update this app so that it actually works considering I have no choice but to use it for work. When I'm on a call it doesn't block notifications from other apps, cell phone calls ring right over Skype calls, there's only 2 notifications for this app and one has to be turned off in the android setting because it interrupts Skype calls, and most of the time when I make a call the person on the other end doesn't hear me and hangs up and I have to call back....literal garbage app.

I am unable to sign in to my business account.. previously I can login through the personal account as well the business account but after upgrading the app its not working for both the logins... sorry for the 3 star before it was nice but it's not.. can you please check on this issue!!

The app has become very buggy since the last couple of updates. I'm unable to join a call without logging out and logging back in at least 3 to 4 times. even then, it's not smooth sailing. if the screen fades out, I get booted from the call and can't rejoin without going through the whole routine of logging out and logging back in. since I dial in before heading out to work, it's very dangerous when the call drops and I have to reconnect while driving. MS, if it ain't broke, don't break it.
