I've used Skype for over a decade and really like it. in the past some updates have broken some functionality or made it very slow, for the last few years however it's been quite stable and is really a good option when it comes to video chat tools with screen share. Perfect for lovers really--the girl and I love the animated emoticons that can display on the screen during a call. It's quite a unique app. Browser version works well now if you can't install the app. Mobile version is nice.

I use this app every day... It is generally a good app. I use the translation in video chat mode every day... As of 4 days ago it stopped working... I have asked for help many times but it still is not fixed... Please fix fast Well they fixed the translation and three weeks later it is horrible again.. double talk translating way slow.. not even words spoke... I think we will move to zoom... I have put in a number of reports but not working.

Not getting the notifications on time. Have to go into the app to see the new messages and I don't even hear the phone ring when someone is calling me . It just goes straight to missed call. What is the point of setting up for notifications to be turned on and they don't work and I can't hear the phone ring. I have to actually go into the app to see any updated miss calls or messages without the notifications. Please fix this !
