• awful for mac

  January 4, 2015

  Pros

  voice calls are good

  Cons

  every time i open skype up it freezes and needs to force quit. takes about 7 times for it to finally work. new update makes skype look awful compared to the old skype format. not good for group conversations, especially if you're in more than 1. sometimes it won't even load what people are typing in the conversations and you have to submit something in the group chat just so it reloads again.

• this version doesn't boot correctly

  BillWierzOctober 30, 2014

  Pros

  Skype is one of my favorite, most used apps on my desktop and my phone.

  Cons

  Can't use this one. Doesn't boot in Yosemite at all, even after following all of Skype's suggested fixes, and I can't get a copy of the previous version anywhere, so I'm stuck.

  Summary

  Don't download this version. Wait for the next.

• A nice change from Facetime.

  dennish755October 16, 2014

  Pros

  Its fun to explore the possibilities. Used FT for a long while. Don't get me wrong, its no FT replacement but more like a temporary indulgence.

  Cons

  Errors show up now and then.

• When does it work?

  just_stuffJune 6, 2014

  Pros

  It used to work great.

  Cons

  No longer makes calls... " internal error."

  Summary

  I can't go back to early versions, but would if it would make the program work. I rarely use it, my cell phone is great when there is coverage, and there is less coverage with wifi. I was able to receive a call-lasted over 1.5 hours, but then dropped and never could get it back. Waiting for fixes that work. Recommendation: find something else until this works.

• UI is horrible

  vmcoreApril 3, 2014

  Pros

  Can not think of any

  Cons

  Typical Microsoft pile of junk. What use to be great, now is junk. UI is by far worst item, it is only reason I am still using 2.8 version.
