Bubbles look similar to those in iChat-they are colorful and cool-but you can only chat with other Skype users. That essentially makes the Skype app an excellent back-up line to save iPhone minutes, but probably not a dependable first option for communicating with others. At a public library, Skype quality was fine during one part of the day, and then-when everyone around me was tapping away on laptops-Skype for iPhone was almost unusable. With the new Multitasking feature you can receive Skype calls and IM while the app running in the background even when the iPhone is locked. In a lengthy call to a Skype user in Australia, the call quality slowly eroded over time. Skype app for iPhone and iPod Touch has been updated to version 2.0.1 with Multitasking enabled for iOS 4. During a day of testing on a home broadband line, most Skype-to-Skype calls were clear, but a few times there was an annoying delay or a digital chirp.
(In fact, this restriction has raised the hackles of some advocacy groups, who haveĬalled on the Federal Communications Commission to investigate.) With the ability to make free or almost free calls comes a major caveat: call quality depends greatly on your service provider. In the meantime, Microsoft is asking Skype for iOS users to give feedback over on the Skype Support Network.Skype’s iPhone client only lets you make calls over Wi-Fi, not 3G or EDGE. A preview of Skype for Windows Phone 8 arrived yesterday, Skype for iOS was updated today, does that mean Skype for Android will get a new version tomorrow? We’ll see soon enough. Given how many app makers operate, however, it would not surprise me if an Android app update was next. For an app like Skype, every pixel matters, and it honestly surprises me it took so long for Microsoft to get this new version out. While this is a minor update for iOS, it is a must for iPhone 5 users. The latest and greatest phone from Apple was released over two months ago now, and tons of apps have already received support, including: Facebook, Pinterest, Twitter, Instagram, Foursquare, Pocket, Flipboard, Spotify, and of course many others. You can now use the extra space for video conversations with your Skype friends, as well as chatting in the app and managing your contacts.Ĭompared to other apps, Skype is very late to the game when it comes to adding iPhone 5 support.
What this means is that the updated app takes full advantage of the 16:9 widescreen screen display.
