I have two active paid subscriptions and two paid numbers in different countries. As an American living abroad, I heavily rely on Skype to stay in contact with friends and associates back home. I ported my personal number to Google Voice and forwarded that free service to my paid Skype number. Up until the last few updates- everything work perfectly.
Now Skype on my iPhone looks and feels like it was designed by college students. The app crashes all the time and is almost useless to me. I dont use ANY of the social features as 95% of the time Im calling and receiving calls from mobile and landline numbers. This is now very difficult, as my iPhones contacts (synced via MS Exchange) cant be accessed from the Skype app. I have to copy a number manually from my contact book and paste it into the app.
There is an option to Sync contacts. Though, I dont want Skype to have write options for my valuable contacts and believe it may try to merge my Skype contacts into my personal address book. I just need a simple service that allows me to call numbers in my contacts.
Im a paying customer. Bring back the old app.
