The new update has several things about it I dislike - the user interface is clunky, for one, and seems like Microsoft is trying too hard to become a Snapchat with voice calls.
The inexcusable event that led to my review however is that when Skype calls are interrupted with audio (say, from an alarm going off) theres no way to resume the call without having to hang up and call back. Aka, no way to take a call off hold. This is poor planning. Seriously just considering taking my business to Discord or some other actual functional site instead. Im not saying revert everything back - Im saying dont release an overly buggy and clunky app and say its "new and improved". Fix the issues.
