Ratings and reviews

I been using Skype for years over 10 and it reliability has gone down. On my computer it works well. On the mobile version is lagging when you hit "SEND". It doesn't send immediately. Locks up and it takes a while before it releases to send. What's the fix? I spoke to my colleagues and they all are experiencing the same issue. Please HELP! thank you in advance for your assistance.

I've used Skype for years and years and have my fair share of problems, but it's reliable and honestly Bing is pretty cool, EXCEPT I hate you can't disable it from being an option in other chats. It's annoying, it's way too easy to hit so it automatically tries to add it where it's not wanted/needed because of it. There should be an option to disable Bing sharing features. It's more inconvenient being a permanent option.

They constantly update the app to be worse, the calls disconnect very frequently for no reason when both parties have good connections with wifi, sometimes the audio is quiet, sometimes it's loud, it crashes often, this is the worst application from a major corporation I have ever seen, they have billions and can't do a tenth of what zoom does.
