What do you like best about Skype?

There are many things that I like about Skype. One of the main things is that it is a very reliable and easy-to-use video and voice call platform. It is available on a wide range of devices, including computers, smartphones, and tablets, and it is simple to set up and use.

Another thing that I like about Skype is that it has a lot of advanced features, such as screen sharing, instant messaging, and file sharing. These features make it very useful for both personal and professional use, as it allows for easy communication and collaboration.

I also appreciate the fact that Skype is constantly updating and improving its service. It has a strong track record of delivering high-quality calls and a seamless user experience.

Overall, I think that Skype is a great choice for anyone looking for a reliable and feature-rich video and voice call platform. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Skype?

There are a few things that I dislike about Skype. One of the main issues is that it can be prone to technical issues, such as dropped calls or poor sound quality. While these issues are not common, they can be frustrating when they do occur.

Another thing that I dislike about Skype is that it can be expensive to use for international calls. While it is generally more affordable than traditional phone services, there are other internet-based calling platforms that offer more competitive rates for international calls.

Finally, I find that Skype's user interface can be a bit cluttered and confusing at times, especially for users who are not very tech-savvy. It can take some time to get used to all of the different features and settings, and it is not always intuitive.

Overall, while Skype is a great service with many useful features, it is not perfect and there are a few things that I dislike about it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Skype solving and how is that benefiting you?

Skype is a communication platform that helps to solve the problem of connecting with people remotely. It allows users to make voice and video calls, as well as send instant messages and share files, from any device with an internet connection.

This is particularly useful in today's world, where many people are working remotely or have family and friends scattered around the globe. Skype enables people to stay connected and communicate in real-time, even when they are not in the same location.

For me personally, Skype has been a very useful tool for staying connected with friends and family who live far away. It has also been helpful for work purposes, as it allows me to participate in video conferences and collaborate with colleagues remotely.

Overall, Skype is solving the problem of remote communication and helping to bring people together, no matter where they are located. This is a major benefit for me, as it enables me to stay connected and communicate with people who are important to me, even when we are physically apart. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
