OK for Casual Users

By HelloOthello (Pcmac user)

Got my account many years ago back when everything was on desktop PC and people on both ends of the call had to be pretty high tech wizards just to make (and keep) consistent connection. Over the years, I would use FaceTime or Webex or various other means to do most video calls, so this app sat idle most of the time. A few months back, I ended up sending my phone through the washing machine, so as a temporary workaround I loaded this app on my iPad so I could at least make outgoing calls without my cell phone. To my surprise, it actually is fairly capable in that mode. TBH, I would welcome a simplified interface like an old school flip phone for times when you just want a quick voice call and not a multiparty videoconferencing extravaganza. Anyway, for my particular needs (making my iPad into a big heavy sorta iPhone every now and then), it does that fine.
Notifications are disappearing??

By Petite Miss21💋 (Pcmac user)

I’m not sure what it is. The notifications will come in on my home screen,but when I go into this app itself,I don’t see any of the messages or missed call etc. showing up in the chat history. Sometimes I’ll even call someone and the call just won’t go through. The person on the other also says they’ve been trying to call,but no call ever came in on my end either. This has happened several times with multiple persons. Because of that,I’ve missed calls and messages that simply don’t even appear in my chat history. Not to mention,I’m on iOS but my friends devices are android,so it seems less of a platform issue and more like this app just needs to fix something in the app right across the board. Other than that,the call quality is actually ok. Gets muffled whenever it claims the connection is poor,but I don’t complain about that. Completely missing/disappearing calls and messages is not one I can overlook though.
This version seems to work a bit better than the older version

By charliec63 (Pcmac user)

I’m on a Mac (iOS and MacOS). Sometimes FaceTime works better, but all in all, this app seems to work better in various environments. The hardware seems to make a big difference in performance. Older stuff does work as well as newer stuff. All in all I’m very happy with the apps performance and features. Updated 12/18: the app works well. It all seems to depend upon the bandwidth of the connection, which is probably reflected in the compression algorithms and the power of the computers on either end as well. I generally have no complaints. I’m also sure Microsoft is busily attempting to monetize the operation. It’s still a pretty cool service.
Never Had Problems Prior to the Update

By Hop!€ (Pcmac user)

This new update is terrible. I used to this app on my phone until they updated the iPhone version to this confusing layout. Now I have no choice but to use another group calling app. First off, I’d like to say I’m giving this 2 stars solely because I never had major problems before the update. As soon as I opened the new updated this app app on my iPad, all of my contacts were gone other than the favorited ones so I clicked “sync contacts” and it put all of my contacts from my iPad on my this app. Also, all of my recent messages were gone. The last one was from March (yes I have used this app plenty of times since). I don’t know how to work this new app layout, I don’t know how to access the chat (it’s not as easy as it was where you could swipe once and it’d be there), and I don’t know how to get my messages back. The least you could do is explain why you did this to us, how to use it, and give an option to go back to the old version!
