Sometimes you get notifications, sometimes you don't. The way it runs in the background is black magic. Messages sometimes seem to send, but never do. The entire UI is designed for Touch, which means it wastes a massive amount of screen real estate on 768-1080p screens. The UWP freezes during video calls routinely. This doesn't happen in the Win32 App unless I'm doing a Voice/Video Call, expectedly. Secondly, the Win32 App is more efficient than the UWP App on my Notebook. Like something my pre-teen nieces and nephews would say. Quote: "Microsoft needs to stop focusing on the dumb Win32 app and start focusing on its UWP version."įirst of all, you sound very mature there. Otherwise, Skype will soon be another of Microsoft's disasters which nobody knew how they managed to it.Īnd, yes, it is fashionable to blame and spit on Skype but there's a reason for it: it's not reliable, you never know which device will ring and which won't (I have Android, W10M, 2 W10 Pros and not a single time I know which device is ringing and why others aren't), it has very poor sound quality on slower networks (WhatsApp sounds and works so much better for that purpose) - overall, you get what you deserve.Īnd changing colours to pink or whatever else in chat won't change that fact. So, no, I don't thank God for any such bloatware or poor UX - I just wish someone at MS would finally start to take their fingers out of their asses and start doing some serious work. It's even crapier than UWP version (and it also takes forever to load, amybe even longer than that). Like one of my colleague pragrammers said: it looks like they brought a bunch of kids to summer development camp and let them loose to do whatever they want without any guidance. UWP app looks gorgeous compared to that peice of crap. It has the most ugliest, non-intuitive, non-usable UI I have seen lately. That (ReactXP) version is total worthless, piece of sh.

If they plan to get Skype to look and behave like the new on on Android or iOS, then that's a disaster and path to nowhere. The Skype app should look like what's seen in the concept image below by concept designer Michael West:

All 500 million Windows 10 users have this Skype app preinstalled on their device, and it looks awful.

The Skype app for Windows 10 needs some serious improvements especially considering it's an app that's shipping in Windows 10 today. I do admit, the light mode version of the Skype app for Windows 10 looks a bit better than the dark mode one, but both overall still look terrible. Now, there's a left hand column that doesn't collapse, it just disappears when the window is small enough, and some areas now show up in fake windows that can't be moved around. It doesn't have a hamburger menu anymore, which while I understand some people didn't like to begin with, made sense.

What's more, a recent update to the app made things worse. Why is there this big gap at the bottom of chat window above the text input field? Why does the text that categorizes chats by day move and open the top chat when selected? It makes no sense. It still looks like it is in an early alpha stage, with odd design choices that make the overall experience seem unfinished. At first, I assumed the reasoning for the UI being so poor was because the app was still in preview, but then Microsoft dropped the preview tag, and the app's interface hasn't improved in the slightest.
