Ratings and Reviews
Skype and life
I met skype since the very beginning to meet a friend of mine who lived faraway and we only met on Skype or through our international business meetings. Eventually we only met over Skype then started using later versions in my daily business life. Today Skype is my business meetings platform. Pure and loud duplex voice, crystal clear video conference by and fast texting and file sharing. Skype is the way to network today in a futuristic style!
Add more features
Please consider adding these features:
I want to control the play speed of a voice message. being able to slide and drag the voice note indicator to skip to the end or replay a specific part without having to listen to the whole voice message again.
When receiving multiple voice notes and I only play one of them I want it to show that this specific one has been played but not the others .. change the indicator color for example. It’s confusing specially when i receive so many voice notes.
When replaying to a specific text.. I don’t need you to show the whole message exactly like the time it was sent and bla bla bla.. all i need is the text itself (the beginning)so don’t make the reply big and annoying with all these details.
I would like every message to have its own time indicator kinda like WhatsApp ... this way it will be more accurate, because sometimes I type many messages and it takes me five minutes (typing) and it still shows like it was sent the same time as the first text.
I want to be able to listen/ review the voice message before sending it.
Please acknowledge my suggestions I took the time to assist and give feedback.
Not bad yet not that too good
In my experience chat notifications not coming most of the times. When I open the texts are there but no notifications coming. Its like every 5 min i have to open skype to check texts. File sharing is normal .. also it doesn’t play voice clips as whats app, I mean whatsapp just one click every audio plays continuously and automatically. Here we have to click each and every single voice clip to play. Also it last upto 2 min, i cant record more than 2 min. Over all not bad
