Recent update makes the app unusable

The new interface and design update, while "shinier" looking, is a HUGE hit to the apps performance and usability. The Skype app now lags when attempting to do any action and feels much more clunky and cluttered. Sometimes messages sent through it are never received, which has never happened before. I wish there was a way to undo the update. The simplicity and smoothness of the older version was its main appeal as a messenger app.
