Newest Version of Skype...
Makes my whole iPod crash, and it's up to date. Just go back to the old version. Nobody cares if it "looks better" or "feels more natural". We just care if it works.
Thank you.
Keeps getting worse
Skype's UI seems to get more confusing with each release. It's like Microsoft is deliberately redesigning it to be as un-iPhone like as possible. The popup keypad, for instance, is half the size as the one in the Phone app, and has no feedback, so you have no idea if you've pressed '1' for English or not. There is no "recent calls" tab, but there is something called "messages" though you can't select a name and call it back. No redial, either. I hate it!
Crashes and can not stay signed in
Unfortunately this is one of the only usable apps for me for VOIP and video calling internationally (other apps can't get through company's firewall over wifi and don't offer video).
The ability for this app to stay signed into the Skype service and run in the background is a joke. I've set the setting to keep my session alive, however it will sign me out and I will appear offline to everyone else randomly. I'm sick of getting messages from the GF asking me why I am not signed into Skype; so please fix this for my sanity. I'm ALWAYS hooked into wifi or 3G so there is no reason Skype should ever sign me out. Any IM app is able to handle this (Beejive or Meebo can keep me signed in for days at a time, reliably).
The app crashes way too often. I don't have a good formula to reproduce this to report to Skype other than just saying it happens under normal use.
I've found a new bug in the past 1 or 2 releases as well. When I try to enable the front or rear camera, sometimes it looks like it goes to open but I never see the video on the screen. I have to disable video ("No Video" setting) and then re-enable the front or rear camera for it to work.
