Since trustpilot removed my last honest… Since trustpilot removed my last honest review of skype I refer readers to their overal rating, less than two stars. You see microsoft that owns skype is too powerful for a little place like sitejabber to publish negative reviews even if they are true. Likely to be my last review on this site, not an honest site,imo. And they want to track and ID you because you cannot post without logging into your personal email. Try sitejabber, much better.

interface to improve The windows interface of Skype is a nightmare. Everytime I spend a few dozen seconds to find the dialpad. Useless options like The "meet now" and "Get your skype number" which I will never use are really to invasive. It's not the cheaper voip call application but the call quality is usually good

Good for audio calls I'm satisfied with the quality of audio calls. I don't use video though. Skype comes in handy if you have a remote job and need to collaborate with your colleagues. As for other purposes, the features may not be enough. For example, if I was giving private or group classes, I would probably prefer a video conferencing platform instead. But it's up to you, I remember Skype language lessons were extremely popular before the pandemic. Anyway, what you definitely can't do on Skype is send large files. There's a limit of 300MB.

I just downloaded the new version and didn't like it. I just downloaded the new version, December 2023, version 8.11. I use Skype daily and I'm largely happy with it but this new version promptly changed my name and my Skype ID and lost the funds I have against my account. Fortunately it installed alongside the old version so I was able to uninstall it promptly and revert to the more reliable older version. Stop trying to improve something that's fine as it is.

If I could give zero I would If I could give zero I would. You pay money into your account to make calls when travelling. You return to your account to see what balance you have, lo and behold the balance is zero and you have NO WAY of finding out where it has gone. These people are thieves. Don't waste your money on this rubbish, use another voip app. The only reason I used it in the first place was that the people I wanted to contact were on it. Nope, Nope, No!
