I feel it has gotten better recently, I've used Skype as a phone replacement ( with an actual skype number and in conjunction with google voice for sms) for a few years now, and currently run it on two laptops and two phones and haven't had issues for several months (I did have problems when I used it with android a while back, but have not since I no longer use it on that platform).
- Bartweiss 10y agoInteresting. I'll have to look into whether it's improved, or has Android specific bugs. Most of my multi-device experiences have included android, and that's reliably been the worst situation.
- divbit 10y agoFor reference my devices with skype installed are my personal phone with win 10, my development phone with ios, and win 10 / osx laptops. I also have a (5.1) android for development, but no skype on there.
- vardump 10y agoSkype is pretty horrible (at least for me) on Windows 10. Freezes often. OS X Skype seems to work the best. Android version seems to be using a random number generator for displaying contact list availability status.
- divbit 10y agoI use the app version on win 10(anniversary) not the desktop. Don't know if that makes a difference but works fine for me. Even talking across the great firewall of china works fine surprisingly.
