Ratings and reviews

Avoid if possible, use WhatsApp or basically anything else is better than Skype. Update after 6 months: still the worst video app out there. I wish I could completely avoid it. Today, called someone 3 times. It rings on my phone but does not notify the partner about incoming call. Why are you working on new features like AI integration if the very basic and essential features are so unreliable?!

i find the design & functionality very confusing & poorly done. voice mail messages will not play; endlessly loading. tried reinstalling, doesn't help. update: seems that you have to force quit the app and then start it again in order to listen to any voice messages; that's a major flaw. why has this been going on for so many months yet no one at the mighty Microsoft corporation seems to be competent enough to fix this? if you don't use your credit often enough they take it from you. thieves

You guys keep making unnecessary changes, I used to be able to take multiple photos no problem, now its a whole extra step of having to back out, and press the icon again, why the regression? Also, I'm using a Samsung zfold3, the camera function used in the app for some reason isn't accurate. On the display I can have a photo perfect in frame but after the photo the shot is is taking a larger frame, making it badly taken since it's capturing more of the environment then I want.
