    Horrible, I don't any notifications for missed calls unless im on the app, aka push notification is non existent. Sending SMS message is either super slow or frozen... Waste of time. I honestly feel windows could are less about its customers. Its one thing to have a weak app market. Its another to have a weak app market with weak apps. Its skype! How could they mess this up. What a shame. Update and fix these problems. Also make more availability for windows 7.8. Thank you.

    Can't make a Skype call with Verizon LTE. The other person can't hear me but I can hear them. So why am I paying for this overpriced service if I can't utilize it??

    The app worked great at the beginning, but it eventually stopped giving me notifications and didn't tell me when people called

    Works great on my Lumia 928. Would give 5 stars if I could customize a bit more like PC version.

    Pésima aplicación para Windows phone 7. Que no funcione en segundo plano me motivo a dejar Skype.

    Works great. Do not like how you cannot turn of vibration for notifications.
