Customer Reviews
Two stars because it works
What's then point of having a skype app if you can't video chat. You can already make calls with your phone big deal if you can also do it with skype. Also it doesn't even keep you logged on for a long time so what's the point of the push calls!!
Wow!!!!!
Got excited cuz I saw a skype update available but!!!!! got pissed and annoyed that skype still!!!!! doesn't feature video chat on iPhone 4 with it's 2.1.1 update. If video chat isn't available be4 iOS 4.1 update then there is something wrong with u. Update and allow this great feature or ur going to lose it all.
Awesome, but where is video?
Great app. But I desperately want video calling!
