Ratings and Reviews
Installation Difficulties
I finally got this app to work in this phone but I have experienced further difficulties to install Outlook webmail and Skype webcam/audio/text in new devices as are my friends and relatives up to the point that some get blocked for example because their systems can only run old versions of windows such as Vista. I can not yet install Skype outside the Outlook in my MacOs Sierra notebook; however, in that devise it is already working within the Outlook webmail.
I realise that those legacy systems owners are not contributing much revenue and earnings to Microsoft but you should keep in mind that being able to communicate with them contributes to the value perceived by corporate and private users that make procurement decisions about IT hardware and software.
With more people being reachable by WhatsApp and other Messengers but not through Skype I perceive as less value to maintain and update my Windows equipment and to by new.
Still my favourite app
Although there are many apps that allow me to make online calls to other smart phones for free, Skype is still my app of choice for calling landlines and GSM lines. The call rates are very reasonable. The app could be face lifted to make it user friendly, hence the missing final star.
Difficult to use and not practical for screen.
Applies to both the mobile and desktop version:
1. No zoom in feature. On the desktop, the app needs to be full screen in order to see a larger version of images sent. Same goes to the phone, only you’re stuck with that amount of screen size.
2. Can’t reply to individual photo when a number of photo is sent at once. The feature just disappears, users can only choose to download, forward all or bookmark. The select function selects all the photos together.
