Something is wrong with this app. It is incompatible with group calls, the notifications for calls often doesn't work, and it says I need to update my Skype to join a call even though I have the latest version. The most annoying thing is the fact it hangs up a call if i leave the app at all, try to send a photo, or even putting on my lock screen. It never did this before either, what happened? Please fix this app. As a first party app on your own OS, this is just embarrassing.

I didn't wanted to give that one full star for this app but since I can't give a portion of it hence rating the app as one star. Reason :- never ever since I installed Skype on my windows phone I could place a call/message/video call through Skype. With Android app this problem was nowhere seen. Even with a normal 2G network the voice call/messages were quick and clear. This windows app has been a great trouble throughout the period ever since I installed this Skype windows app. Forget about voice calls/video chats this app can't even send a general Skype message the circle keeps on rotating and it feels like one day your life cycle will stop its revolution but the circle will still continue its rotation. Pathetic experience on this app. Very sorry to say.

Awful

Skype used to be a great product. I don't know what happened to it. I receive messages, but when I got to view them it never shows recent conversations unless I restart the app. This makes using Skype for work or coordinated groups near impossible because I constantly have to restart Skype just to keep up with the conversation. It doesn't happen all the time, but I have to swap out of Skype to look at anything all new notices in Skype stop working. Toaster notifications still work, but the in-app ones do not.

Skype for Android and iOS is working better than in windows phone (Lumia 640 LTE). It's not normal that a Microsoft product is not working good inside the Microsoft environment... It crash every single time when you try to start up and finally when it open, it is so slow with the messages. Really strange

Awesome app. But lately there have been lots of false notifications. It's only on my lock screen, and it's annoying. But otherwise, this is the best app on the store for communicating with your friends.

Nice app with room for improvement

I like the overall app and its integration with the phone. But it seems to have problems making calls sometimes and doesn't always show notifications.
