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.
The absolute worst
This is by far the worst mobile messaging app.
It rarely works on low speed networks, where FB and other services work perfectly.
It resends all my message history from one device to other devices, even when the messages are read, and marks them as unread. what's worse, it prioritizes syncing old messages to new ones.
As a result, this is overall the worst mobile app for messaging and the absolutely worst replacement to messenger Microsoft could ever come up with.
Very buggy
Whenever I open the skype emoji “keyboard” (which happens alot by accident because it’s right next to the message button) Skype just stops working for a bit because of all the moving emojis trying to load at once, it doesn’t even let me close it for a bit, as it basically crashes. It often doesn’t send messages even if the internet is good, and recently it hasn’t been sending any notifications for measages, even though I am receiving them (I have both notifications on the Settings for Skype open, and my contacts are not put on silent). There have been complaints that photos that are sent from others will not show for certain people and those certain people cannot send photos.
It’s an app for older times.
