ItWouldBeNice... ,

☀️☀️☀️☀️Just 2 Major inconveniences.

Long time user....easy to connect, exchange info (except files). Love features like edit messages, the devoted phone number, calls out and other basics... All run well.

Major inconvenience #1
Can't upload files smoothly on iPhone and iPad. Even PDF, photos get to 55% and get stuck.... Then I just email them so not a deal breaker just a pain. So...

**Developer** Can we get file uploads as smooth a spitball, pls?

Major inconvenience #2
Very limited and yet expensive texting.
I'm paying for texts, which I can stomach somewhat, but I can't get pictures or any other files?? Most annoying though, is not being able to exchange texts with everyone...For me, about 75% of people can text me. Not a reliable inbox yet.

**Developer** Dream solution - Skype as a universal inbox.

At this point, the tech should allow texting and maybe emails and faxes to be received somehow.
Would be very nice.

Thx!

It keeps getting worse

You’re not listening to feedback and trying to improve Skype. No one cares about the new app logo or the other stuff you keep adding. Please either remove integrated calling or give us back the option to disable it. There once was the option to disable it but you removed it for some mysterious reason without any explanation. Without the option to remove it, Skype will take over my phone with unwanted calls even when Skype isn’t running. This is ridiculous and it has happened several times at embarrassing and inconvenient moments. The automatic “Give me a call when you're back.” chat messages when a call fails to connect aren’t helpful either. I have to delete them every time. Please at least make them an option! Stop adding new features and get core functionality working again.

使いやすいです。

先に書いておきます
LINEを基準にしているので比べる所があります。
このアプリをおすすめしたい人⤵︎

 理由↪︎Wi-Fiがないと、かなりギガを使います。

✅SIMカードのないスマホを使ってる、もしく
 はSIMカードのないスマホを持っている人
 と会話をしたい人(iPadや親のお下がりのスマ

✅LINEが使いにくいと感じたい人

 理由↪︎LINEと比べて機能がよいので私はSkypeの方がおすすめです。

Skypeの良い所

✔︎グループトークでの既読が、誰が見たかが分かる
✔︎シンプルなデザインで使いやすい   

✔︎操作が分かりやすい

Skypeの悪い所

✔︎画像や動画の読み込みが遅すぎ
 これは本当に改善宜しくお願いします。
 長い物で五分程かかることもありました。

✔︎スタンプの種類が少ない

✔︎通知音が地味で分かりにくい

✔︎Simejiのスタンプ機能が使えない
 これは私だけかもしれませんが、ペーストができませんでした。

以上です。
不便な所もありますが、LINE基準の私はかなり良いと思いました。もう少し改善していただけたらより良いアプリになると思います。宜しくお願いします🥺
