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.
Works well for my needs
Being stationed in an Asian country for most part of the year - and having got rid of social media apps on my device that would otherwise enable cheap audio chat with loved ones - I find my Skype app is the next best thing. One feature I love on the Skype app is the free Bing Chat feature. I can ask Microsoft’s artificial intelligence all sorts of difficult questions. Then the record of my difficult questions is preserved on the app and is searchable for future reference to assist with writing and blogging tasks
Great for overseas calls
I haven't used this app in a long time, with so many other apps providing video and audio internet calling. But I've recently used it to make long distance international calls and the call quality is so much better than regular internet calls!
I found the app easy to use despite not being familiar with the current UI design, which suggests it's a pretty good design for novices to pick up.
