App is old. Glitch between two accounts, the QR code doesn't work even after revoking it. Images shared glitch with old images when tapped on. Old design. I've been trying to fix an issue for a year and still gives me pain. I also don't have access to a old number and now I'm stuck I cannot open my ACTIVE account on desktop because QR doesn't work and phone is no longer accessible. Not enough options to recover account even with all the security questions. There should also be CS not FAQ

Very slow to load. Slow response in every touch. Bad audio quality (satellite connection, but Google Duo has perfect audio). No split screen is a deal breaker. When I chat I need to look up other stuff.

Worst app. Most of the time the entered messages stays unsent. It uses data still and doesn't allow to use any other apps parallely. For any basic Android phone with 4GB, and 2GHz processor speed, this app will never usable. Nearly 75% of Android users will not have smooth experience of Skype. But you never care about it.

Can't figure out which category of push notifications includes news updates(!?) all of a sudden. Turning off "other" didn't seem to do it. I'm not going to spend any more time debugging. I've just turned off all notifications.

I have been using Skype for decades. It has been a great app for messaging and phone calls. However, as of this writing, it is the worst performing app on my phone; very slow and laggy interface. It has also become unsafe with how many scammers & spammers are abusing the lack of protections & enforcement. Now, there are many competitors to Skype, which are likely safer, faster, and more secure. So. I have reduced my 5 star review to 3, because of the spam and fraud that Skype allows.

This was a great app, until Microsoft tried to make it more profitable for them. Ive had a paid subscription and phone number from Skype for a long time but will be finding a new service now. Whatsapp, messenger, and telegram are far better for talk, text, and video chat than Skype. Since the new update my biggest complaint is no one can hear me. This app feels so slow. Why would anyone continue using it. I downloaded a older version and my mic works now. So it is a Skype problem. Samsung A34.

Why don't you people ever fix the damn status indicator?? If I set it to offline mode then it should stay there until I damn well change it myself. But no, it always changes back to online mode at random times. Talk about an invasion of privacy. You continuously ignore these types of bugs. You clearly have zero respect for your users.

Hard to find the hangup button, I just rebooted my phone because I couldn't find it. Slow to start. Messages about new features popping up on top of everything disrupting your flow when you try to get something done.

the skype mobile app on Samsung is retarded. it takes several seconds after each press of a numeric key for the app to respond! makes it impossible to use as a phone app when an auto-attendant is expecting sub 1-second response time when selecting IVR menu options.
