Negative review Not working anymore by anonym
It worked fine in my LENOVO yoga 2. After a few weeks it stop working. Skype is a very important and famous apps,almost every single person use it. Apps builders should response and repairs all problems. 2/5

Negative review Your dumb updates destroyed this app by anonym
I can't even begin to describe how terrible it is to be using this app now... Used to be great, not anymore. 1/5
Neutral review Flawed by anonym
Everything is fine within the app, however it doesn't activate in background for incoming video calls or msg.. You have to open and wait for calls to come and reply.. Thts pretty annoying.... Do some thing.. 3/5
Negative review Definitely needs work by anonym
Mic will occasionally just shut off for some reason. I'll go into other apps, and the mic works, but in Skype the mic would be permanently broken. The only way I've fixed this is by completely uninstalling then reinstalling Skype. Very inconvenient. Not only that, but Microsoft has very limited features for mobile Skype. 2/5
Negative review Android Design Guidelines Non-compliant App by anonym
First of all, it is fine if a naïve individual had coded the app, but coming from a software giant it completely blows my composure to see how terribly off the guidelines this app is. I get the fact that Skype now belongs to Microsoft, but designing for Windows Phone and publishing on Android is the most terrible design workflow I have come across. Would definitely update my rating once and if the design is updated to comply to the Android guidelines. 2/5
Negative review The voice keeps dropping by anonym
Its a good app but the most annoying thing is that i cant use any other app while using this. The moment I open any other app.. the voice drops .. the call hangs and the whole app needs to be started again. Plz fix 1/5

Negative review Really dont like it by anonym
I cannot use anything on my phone while on Skype . anytime i open an app it goes to a black screen 1/5
Negative review No consistent new message indicator...Time to move on... by anonym
Microsoft has shown that their willingness to properly support Apple products especially push notifications of calls, messages, and the like but has repeatedly shown over the past year+ or so that it has no interest in doing the same for Android devices. I hope they sell Skype to someone who will care enough to support all platforms properly. 1/5
Negative review issue with online status. by anonym
When i close the WIFI while skype is on it keeps showing me online to others even after a full day so friends ask me why I'm not answering them while I'm online, another issue while conversation i suddenly stop hearing the other side while they are hearing me, Many times friend's call me but I don't receive any notification frome any kind and when I'm checking skype i see a messed calls and friends tells me that thay called me but i didn't answer. I'm having note3. Please fix this bugs. Thanks. 2/5
Negative review Unfortunately, Skype stopped working by anonym
I am in Indonesia, Skype is the only way I can communicate with my family, so... Please fix it, I already reported and I've got no answer... 2/5
Negative review Closing after update!! by anonym
Since being updated Skype won't open for me and keeps saying Skype is being forced closed. Please fix!!!!! 2/5
Negative review Why am I not surprised by anonym
The worst update ever. Improvements, what im provements. Once again Microsoft showing just how incompetent they really are! !!!! 2/5
Negative review Newest update by anonym
Please get rid of the idle!! How am i supposed to call back. 1/5
Negative review No matter what model phone I have... This app won't work by anonym
From the S1 through to the S3 and now the OnePlusOne I will get annoyed by this app... Notifications pop up, without showing what the new message is, or no notification even though there's a message waiting to be answered, crashing, freezing... And more and more. Now with the OnePlusOne it popping a message and not stopping the notification though I saw the massage and pending messages. Amazing how horrible a costumer service can became on a product you make so we'll know, was just a favour. Shame. 1/5
Negative review MS killing Skype on purpose!!! by anonym
You don't have to be a rocket scientist to realize that Microsoft bought Skype to kill it. From what I understand Skype works great on desktops and Windows phones, but Android and iPhone are an afterthought. I guess they think they can drive people to Windows Phones by providing broken software to everyone else. Nice business ethics Bill...scumbag! All your philanthropic efforts don't clean your soul. 1/5
Negative review Some things are not perfect by anonym
Average app. Magically shows you online when you are actually not. Voice gets cut if you switch apps when in a call. Cant receive calls if app is not open. Text messages come always. 2/5
Negative review Doesn't even start up... by anonym
I have done all I can think of to get this working. It used to work just fine then I turn on my tablet and it doesn't even get to the sign on screen. All it says is there is a error and I get the option to close or report... Good thing I use this for work... 1/5
Negative review Problems by anonym
I have had the same problem with Skype.Whenever someone tries to contact me or I try to call,it immediately switches to Emergency dialer.I use Skype on a daily basis like everyone else.This problem really needs to be solved immediately or at least you can suggest some other solutions to us.Thank you in advance! 1/5
Neutral review Skype by anonym
sometime pictures is not clear It's need to be good qualities and voice cut off as well. 3/5
Negative review Needs to be repaired by anonym
Recently, I have been having this issue that is whenever I call someone due to some types of bugs,I guess, it seems like you call people however you really don't even if you have no problem with internet connection that someone may think as the real reason. It literally sucks, and this is quite time wasting. In case one may wonder I had similar issues with the apps on both my iPhone and computer with windows operating system which just makes me think ,they do not actually fix the bugs,. 1/5
Neutral review I dnt recieve notifications by anonym
Notifications wont go thru so i miss most of my calls which really sucks. Fix that and youll get 5 stars 3/5
Neutral review by anonym
Better 3/5
Positive review Device compatibility varies. by anonym
Not working on my Shield Tablet. I cannot get past the sign in/loading screen. 4/5
Negative review Just horrible by anonym
Still not receiving notifications on time when I leave the app alone for 20 minutes. And when are you going to return the Away, and Do not disturb options for mobile? People aren't always going to be online to talk when they're on mobile you know. Even calls get dropped! I'll be in a call when I'd like to text somebody but as soon as I go to the home menu, Skype has crashed. This whole app is just horrible and I only use this app as a last resort. 1/5
Negative review Emergency Dialer by anonym
I had no problems with Skype for the longest. Now, after the new update, I can't call out or answer calls without it going to this "emergency dialer" screen. I've tried everything but it won't let me contact the one person I wanna talk to. It will let me call myself(I have two microsoft accounts and tried it to see) but no one else. I have an LG Optimus G Pro(android) and I'm furious. Fix this in the next update or I'm deleting this app for good. 2/5
Negative review No "exit" from the app? I need to sign off every single time?!? by anonym
That can't be true. Tell me I am missing the obvious, friendly, big button to close the app. This sucks even more than the fact that I often do not receive chat messages when on mobile (or my messages do not get delivered). 2/5
Negative review Update by anonym
Ever since the new update I can't open Skype. And out of nowhere it says Skype crashed while I'm doing other stuff. Please fix. 2/5
Negative review STILL A Terrible Port by anonym
Compare this to the new iPhone update to this. It looks way cleaner and performs way better. Why don't we get animating emoticons? It's not hard to code a simple animating icon. If you can do it on iOS, it ain't hard for the Android. Why don't we get group video calling? Why don't we have a choice to choose a status? It's only Online and Offline. Nothing else to set it to. What a terrible port.. 2/5
Negative review It says after update: "Unfortunately Skype has stopped." by anonym
Bought a new Asus Zenfone 6 and installed Skype and it worked without a problem for 1 day. Then it was showing and update and after installing it started giving the error: "Unfortunately Skype has stopped." Uninstalled and installed again. Still the same! SOS! 2/5
Negative review Wow. by anonym
My pics do not send and i dont get notifications for over half the messages. Really pathetic. Was ok before but now... 2/5
Neutral review Group calls by anonym
I don't know why but if you are on the phone using skype you can't actually invite people to a call, which really annoys me, for example if 3 people were on Skype on their phone there would be no way to invite them instead hold 2 separate calls. Skype please add the feature. 3/5
Neutral review Needs group video chat by anonym
I am shocked that group video chat is not in moble skype yet. I mean most phone and tablets have the power to do it now, case in point hangouts, so why can't skype? 3/5
Negative review Can't use Skype by anonym
Ever since the most recent update, I can't open Skype. I use Skype a lot, and I really like it even though it has its kinks, but since this new update I'm starting to look for other options. If you guys fix this soon I'll be happy and sure to rate up higher, but for now it will continue being as it is only because of how good it used to be. 2/5
Negative review Unable to sign out by anonym
For the life of me I can't sign out of Skype on my android. In fact the only way to prevent anyone from skyping me is to force close. But that only works half the time. 2/5
Negative review Emergency Dialer by anonym
Ever since the update, all my calls go to my emergency dialer on my android phone. I can't call anyone. I use it to see my son before he goes to bed when I'm at work. This needs to be fixed ASAP or I'm going to go to something else. Its important that I tell my son goodnight. Fix this issue or I will be forced to uninstall and use one of your competitors. 1/5
