Ratings and Reviews
Editors' Notes
From the new baby to the latest sales figures, Skype makes sharing our big news better. Anyone can start calling, texting and video-conferencing—or even dialing landlines—thanks to the intuitive design. With zillions of Skype users to connect to, it’s one of the most useful apps on our iPhone and Apple Watch.
Terrible new interface
It was a great application with very clear easy to use interface,- you could see on and off line contacts, make video or audio calls etc. the latest version is just a mess, very difficult to use. And there is no option to roll back. Update on 15 July: new update but still the same very poorly designed interface, still can't see on/off line contacts, difficult to use, no improvements at all. Shame on you Skype! Particularly now, when we have many other similar user friendly applications. Please bring back your original design that was excellent. Still 1 star, only because there is no lower option New update 21 July but still the same terrible interface. Skype doesn't listen to us, customers at all. Look at your current rating Skype, it's at the lowest possible level. Please return previous options to see on/off line contacts and user friendly interface. New update (September 2017) but the same problems, plus very poor quality of calls. Unfortunately, the latest update 12/12 is still the same with no option to see online people
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...
