Skype Reviews 

Giving a 1 star, because apparently 0 isn't an option.

Use Discord or other communication apps, Skype has done my head in,it's so freaking slow and you can't call anyone without lag.

Goodbye Skype

Skype deleted my bookmarks, both in mobile and laptop versions. Do you expect me to add them all again? This is a ridiculous app! Will never recommend this app.

ABSOLUTELY NO WAY TO CONTACT CUSTOMER SUPPORT!!!!!!!! CAN YOU BELIEVE?
CALLS TO A PHONE NUMBER WERE NOT GOING THROUGH THOUGH I HAD SKYPE CREDIT! IT KEPT SAYING THAT I HAD NO SUBSCRIPTION!

INFINITE OTHER PROBLEMS.

Fix the calling function to phone numbers!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

They keep charging money and there's no way to get a refund. I tried to contact live support but they took 30 minutes for verification but still they were unable to verify my account and I lost my money.

There was a good program for me, but unfortunately every time it needed an update, I had to enter a new password. Naturally, this was annoying. This is exactly why I stopped using ICQ.

Thought I paid for 1 month but they actually trick you and write in small print on email that they will charge you every month. Then they make it so hard where to find the cancel option. great job to MS thieves as per usual

Why would you deactivate the balance if a person don't use it?
Imagine you have 100 USD on your bank account. And imagine bank deactivating/taking your money if you don't use it
This is so interesting that I can't put anything more than 1 star.
Thank you for your work.
Good product though but the decision on taking people's money is making it 1 star (unfortunately)

I was on skype because the class I was enrolled in required me to be on a skype call. I never asked for an account, but I got charged a monthly fee of $2.99. Trying to cancel the account took more than an hour. It is not clear or easy to cancel, and of course there is no one to call. What a scam! I wonder how many people, who never wanted an account are charged every month.

Who designed Skype calls to phones?

It makes no sense.

I think it was designed by a hyperactive, crack addicted, depressed monkey.

This is one of the worst designed apps I have ever used.

As mentioned by others, the call quality is very bad, compared to WhatsApp or Line.

MS bought Skype, then trashed it, then made it worse.

Great. I contacted them because of one month longer usage. Then I told them I dont want that, they send me the money back. Great

This used to be a well functioning phone app that was a reasonably priced alternative worldwide when other phone services failed. Now it seems to be a Social Media wannabe that can't place a phone call. You can't even edit a contact entry. If MS wants to get into the Social Media game why didn't you just create an app instead of ruining this one? Weren't apps your core business?

Skype gets worse day by day. The app UI is completely unusable. Call quality is terrible - even on the fastest connection. They are unable to notify you when credit gets low so you are just cut off when credit runs out. Lazy, filthy Microsoft scum are unable to think rationally or act decently.

Skype is a fraud. Someone use my bank card to get on Skype.

I am trying to set up an account Everything is fine until the robot check. After correctly completing the select the pictures with the same object, I get a blue tick - followed by then being reverted to the robot check page, ad infinitum.

I have tried in the app, clearing cache etc, on the web, incognito , Wi-Fi and 4G using iPhone and PC but nothing helps. The customer assistance is dreadful, basically I go through all the help options and am asked to sign in - MY PROBLEM IS I CANT SET UP THE ACCOUNT TO DO THAT!

I have previously successfully set up an account for my disabled brother on his tablet, that was so easy. And other family members have done too. How on earth do I get signed up when I can’t make any contact with the company to discuss the problem?

Never give money to a company that has no phone number or email address.

Customer service is awful. They never solve the problems. I paid for a subscription but I can't use it and they don't refund my money!!
Skype says: contact with Google and Google says: contact with Skype.
I chatted with one of them to resolve the issue. She doesn't even know how to talk to a customer. Nervous girl!!!

I've read some Skype reviews on here, they're like mine. I bought some Skype credit.
Then later on, my Skype credit is suspended. I have to reactivite. I tried once, and they needed a separate email address, so I put one in, and again today, no Skype code received to activate it. My body is quite unwell. My time is like gold. This review is minus 5. I just wish my money back and will only use Skype as a backup. Date of experience is an estimate.
