Just good

It's good because it's the old Skype layout.

Skype for business messenger -chats disappear

pdbpdb7799

The biggest problem with this app is that the messages / conversations disappear from the app version, so if you miss someone’s message you can’t see what they wrote. So I have often missed messages entirely from people or have not been able to see what they messaged me. This is something that Microsoft should fix that is surprising that it has not done so yet. This has been a problem for several years with this app

Needs improvement

Adamsquishy

Conversations from other devices logged into the same account do not sync efficiently, or at all really. The more I use this between devices there is almost no time when my phone and laptop and tablet load the same conversation history. The app can’t be used in split screen or in a slide over window to view chats. Notifications are unruly. With SFB closed on my iPad, not open in the background, and while working from Skype on my laptop, I was sent a file over SFB and my phone went off alerting me of a Skype for business “call” (which was the file being shared) and I continued on my computer. The notification did not end, and I had to manually reject the “call” from my phone. 3 hours later, after being off work I open my iPad and there’s a SFB incoming call; The notification for a shared file, with SFB closed entirely on my iPad, persisted with the screen off for 3+ hours and would have continued until my battery was completely drained.

App Does Not Work for My Work

NPR for Life

It will not let me sign into my work account on the app. I have no problems on my computer with all of the same information. And instead of giving me some alternative way to log into my account, such as changing my password, I just get a totally unhelpful and aggravating message that there are issues and I should try again later. I have no problems with my Skype Personal app, but I have to use the Business version for my work... Ridiculous.

Upgraded crashing outlook 365

Upgraded and now my outlook app crashes right after starting up.

Annoying

MegRoseS

Latest update now includes a Skype call to my iPhone every time I receive a file on Skype on my pc. Deleting app until this is fixed.

Better chat system needed

Someone messages me. I open the app, select the message. No message to view. Now it’s gone all together. Please fix this so I can go back into messages and stop making them disappear when I open them. The UI on this app is atrocious... Themes would be nice as well. Your desktop app has better features and that’s saying alot because even the desktop app needs help. Considering most people use a phone especially when traveling you need to work to update this much faster please.

Instant messaging barely usable

BestNickname!

It is impossible to have multiple active messaging threads running at once. I get pop up notifications with a preview when a new message comes in, but when I go to the app and open the thread, the message isn’t there. Messaging only works properly if you keep the thread open. Threads clear themselves when you move away from them. Useless.

Overall good

Every once in a while we will get somebody who joins who doesn’t have the best quality of the audio. Not sure if it’s because of the connectivity. But in general it works well you can see who’s talking. Administrator can mute everybody which makes it nice so you don’t have a bunch of background noise

Improving with use

FJGirl101

We were required to use Skype and it was a tough beginning. A lot of my team members do not use the video and stick with the audio only. The more we use it, the better we all get at sharing screens and working from multiple devices. I will be excited to see how it continues to improve and work as some of us head back into the office. I personally love that I can go from my phone, to my tablet, to my laptop or my desktop fairly seamlessly. This has made life truly mobile.
