Skype Customer Insights

1. Video calls always work well with a good connection on both endsThe app shows me as "away" after a few minutes of running in the background....which isn't great, because I use the app for work and I need to reflect my availability accurately.

2. They'd see you were on it, and some would just migrate to it on their own to access all the features.... Just a thought.I used to use Skype all the time and it worked great! The quality on the video and recording is good.

3. I assume at this point they have no real interest in fixing it.Update: So... It appears that you can message others on this app ...but it costs 11 cents!...😒 why? Yes...I think Skype is a good app.

4. Do better, Skype.it works sometimes but the quality of the video and audio gets bad most of the time and the call freezes so you have to end the call and try again.

5. It freezes and want do ANYTHING! I can't load contacts or try and text just a screen showing my profile and then not really anything other than the Skype platform and stuff.

6. I've had issues where if I reply to a message from a notification on my phone, it won't send until I open the app.

7. I also have it selected in the app settings to have the bubble pop up notification activated and that doesn't work at all either.

8. Support forums show this has been an issue on the mobile Skype apps for years.

9. It even states it might say something weird! We don't know much about itEdit: Calls no longer work.

10. I would really like this problem fixed, I'm so sad I can't use this anymore because it doesn't work.

11. It has good features...but it would be great if it integrated as a standard messaging app on a basic level.
