Its Cute, But Broken

at first i thougt the update wasnt so bad, change is good sometimes and honestly i thought the new look was cute. while all my friends were saying "ew the text bubbles are so ugly etc" i was there saying "shhhh text bubbles dont listen to them they dont have a sense of good taste" and then later i saw more and more features and im like what. is. going. on. here.

and i hate how everyone keeps copying snapchat with the "stories" or in this case, the highlights. its just so annoying. honestly, let snapchat do their thing and you do your thing. i hate this because its like when i draw something really amazing and then i forget to put a signature and then someone else takes credit for it and signs their name.

another thing thats been bothering me is how s k y p e. a l w a y s. c r a s h e s. why? it was working perfectly fine before the update. but then when i go to try and use skype, it goes to the loading screen and crashes. it even has crashed while i was in call a couple times! me and my friends like to use skype because some of us play games and in the same call others video chat and its fun to have a lot going at once. but nOPe, yOu HAvE to CRasH eVErY ThrEE sEcoNds. and the only way i can fix it is if i download and redownload the app. its just a lot of work to have to keep downloading and redownloading. also, when the app crashes, when i download it back onto my phone it only lasts for like a day until it stops working again! >:( i notice it stops because i stop getting notifications and calls etc and my friends text me and say "why didnt you answer the call" and im like RRRREEEEEE SKYPE DID A CRASH AGAIN!

now, im not much of a computer genius and i dont know what would cause this, but maybe you could try lightening the app of all this crazy stuff? for example, TAKE OFF THE HIGHLIGHTS ;) no one even uses them anyways so i mean, it doesnt even do THAT much damage. plus it will satisfy me :)

all i have to say about the tutorials is... THEYRE ANNOYING. please make it an option if you want them. because theres people like me who want to figure it all out on my own. like i said before, skype crashes and i have to redownload the app, well every time i go back on i cant do aNytHIng because the tutorial is in the way! its not a bad idea, its just not for everyone.

im not trying to crap on all your hard work because i know youre just trying to do good, and youre trying to find ways to help make your users happy. i understand your motives. but please be original and dont drown the user with all these features that are a huge change! go slow, take your time to change things, and dont dump it all on it like this. less is more in my opinion so please dont overdue it. if you slow down and dont go so fast moving with the change, users wouldnt be sending so many negative reviews! i mean, of course theres gonna be negative reviews, but there wont be as much. and please dont forget, PLEAAASE FIX THE CRASHING ISSUE!

i hope you have a wonderful day and have fun making the changes i requested! <3
