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.
Oldschool at its finest!
One of the best instant messaging apps on the market, present for so many years. Who knows what would have happened with Skype if not Microsoft. Thank you very much for keeping this wonderful app alive. It is one of the few things that are still here from my youth. It has not changed for worse because of Microsoft's fantastic developers and management. Please keep up the good work guys and do not change much because Skype has all what it really needs to be a good IM! 🤝💯
Contacts
Insufficient synchronization of personal contacts.
It takes considerable amount of time for the app to show names not just numbers called.
The interface should better distinguish between phone number contacts and Skype contacts
