Calls are getting longer to connect, frequently no connect at all. When hang up - it continues to ring for 5-7 more seconds, freezing the phone. Frequent disconnections during calls. App has definitely got MUCH slower than few month before. Microsoft, be responsible of your purchases, fix your bugs! Without Microsoft it was way better! A month later: Now,it has started to freeze frequently and lag even more. Way to go, Microsoft! Six years later - They bought it to kill it in six years.

I've used Skype as a primary video call app nearly every day for well over half a decade. This has worked for better connection and call clarity than others especially while traveling. It's a shame they are saying it is being shut down after so long of successful usage. Quite disappointing really. They should just leave it alone. It's good the way it is already. There's no need to tamper or get rid of an app that works so well for many.

The same problems that skype has had years ago are still present. I get a notification for a message and it doesn't show in the chat for the whole day and I have a stable connection. Or I get delayed notifications again on wifi. Or the chat has a visual glitch when you finally get that message only shows the bottom half of chat. My app is always updated too. It's so weird how it never changes.
