Application in constantly stopping. Impossible to re-run. Even after reboot samsung galaxy s9+. They say for Android 6 and higher.

This is possibly my most used (mobile) business application outside of Outlook. It keeps me connected like no other application great functionality on the palm of my hand. I definitely use it more than my desktop Skype for Business version, as I am always on the road. You can send messages, share your desktop to present documents with others, you can view other people's documents, can use video to join real time meetings. It is just really really great!!

WARNING: Skype for business is still buggy and dangerous to use. It displays notification of new message and then doesn't show the message after opening the app! It just dissappears. It has no message history and app messages are not synced with PC. I was forced multiple time to ask the sender to resend last message. It also crashes or stops working and requires to be stopped via app manager. It's absolutely mind boggling how Microsoft is still not able to deliver working IM solution!

Works pretty well, when it works. I got this app for work calls. However, it's routinely a struggle to stay connected to meetings especially is the signal is even slightly low. It's a good concept however, the idea would be that it is a mobile app so would be capable of functioning out in the wild (i.e. not your office) but seems it is only consistent when you're in excellent signal areas. The chat that comes through to the app also is not displayed on your desktop so messages can be missed

Poor feature set compared to desktop app, sometimes works, sometimes doesn't. Regularly fails to notice incoming calls and has to be reinstalled. Drops calls if moving between WiFi and mobile signal every time. Constantly needs to be signed in, or says it does when it doesn't. Just unreliable in every way, so not what you need or should expect.

Downloaded for work; having a terrible time. App will crash to homescreen multiple times before stabilising enough to let me use it (takes a good 3-5 minutes to open properly), and won't sync conversations across devices (so a chat message on my PC won't load on the app, and sometimes duplicates on the app without my replies), causing confusion and frustration. Update: Down to 1 star from 2 bc I've spent 20 minutes trying to open the app. Constant crashes. I just want to make a call.

My issue is the app stop running in the background for a sometime then it notify me it is running in background again while I have checked the “keep running in background” option in the setting. In a result of that, calls cannot be received on the app while it is working fine on the desktop version?! Which make it unreliable if I am out of office. Please advise.

message disappear sometimes. when you get a notification, you click on the notification, it disappears and the message disappears before u can read it. not sure why there is a need for a list of history on the main page. serves no purpose. not accurate and cannot delete all. makes the UI ugly. The interface of this tools is amateurish. Thanks

Too intrusive. I haven't even used it, as it would only work if I allowed it to access contact, files, video. This is a personal phone, which I would use for work calls, so I do not wish to grant all of the permissions. I just need to make calls. This is poor design for a common use case, ie making work calls on personal device. I tried to deny access to these functions -the app asked me to allow or deny each function, and I denied non-essential ones... Only for the app to say they're essential!

Unable to log in after the update. Tried to clear the cache, reinstall the app but no luck. I agree with the other reviewers here: the app is worthless - even before the update when I could use it, it was unstable, buggy, messages did not go through, calls were cut off (on LTE). Microsoft, you need to get your act together and re-write this app from scratch.

Does not work properly as an app. If someone calls me I don't get a notification that it's coming from Skype and so I miss many calls. Even if I do pick up, they often cannot hear me, or I get an annoying beeping sound that plays throughout the call as if it's still trying to connect. This also happens when I call out. Works on the computer but this app needs some considerable improvement. Given this is mainly used for work purposes, simple calling is the least you'd ask for.

I tried to install it after so many years and it made me happy for not using it since long and not any more in future.
A Google user
It is a mixed bag with Skype for business. The handoff between desktop and phone apps needs improvement and is my biggest gripe. Others: Basic viewing of shared screens is ok, zooming and panning is unwieldy. There is no car mode. It's hard to know whether it's the app or the stability of the connection, but sound quality is often so-so.

Simple to use. Not as good as zoom for meetings that have more than a few people, restricted to people from same company. it has the advantage though of sharing screen vs zoom which shares only app window. If you are doing a presentation in powepoint and then want to open an excel table to show side by side, you can do this in skype. But in zoom you would need to stop presenting the powerpoint and then present the excel sheet, just one at a time. And each time it takes a few seconds to load.

I haven't seen any other conversation app with so many issues. Why can't you sync chats between devices? No chat history either. Other people's status is not reliable. It shows offline but they are online or vice versa. The voice doesn't connect with my bluetooth headphones at first, I have to restart the phones which is not the case with any other app. Just fed up. If my company gives me the choice, I would dump this app in a jiffy. Pc version is the same - full of bugs.

All Skype related applications suffer from the same problems: heavy, slow, unreliable, counter intuitive. They try hard and it is noticeable, but it's been years and years since the last time Skype was considered a good option. It is now just the option pushed to all companies with any Microsoft partnership or relation. I guess it works well when it works. Hope it worked more often.

The worst mobile Office applications from Microsoft. Very unstable. It's always closing or logging out even if you select the "run in the background" option. It doesn't always update the conversations and the conversations isn't in sync between mobile and desktop. Moreover t's very confusing to have a list of many conversations from the same person. When connected both on mobile and desktop, if you receive a call and answer on desktop, then the mobile will continue ringing or vibrating for no reason. You can't do screen sharing unless you join a meeting.
