    Takes a long time to resume. Keyboard covers most recent message. Notifications are hit and miss. Poor group chat support. Needs major update ASAP.

    Major battery eater. Takes my 920 from a full charge to 20% in less than an hour. :(

    Great to see a general increase in reliability.

    Absolutely ridiculous that you can't sign out. Almost as bad that there is only available and invisible for status. Also if you set invisible on phone it switches you on desktop as well. Way too many basic features still missing. I'm uninstalling till a better version is released. Extremely disappointing. It's been released now and still ALWAYS shows me as online, even when not running the app and with push notifications off. I use Skype for business and NEED it to accurately display when I am online and available. I'm uninstalling it again. Looks like my next phone is NOT going to be a Windows Phone.

    Terrible. Doesn't give notifications, live tile functionality is broken, not able to run as a background task.
