Skype is getting worse with every major update. I am not even going to mention constant interface redesign just for the sake of the change. Core functionality is being taking out to the point of app is becoming unusable. For example, I have phone numbers stored under each contact along with Skype ID. On the desktop app if I cant reach a contact via Skype, I can choose to call the phone instead. This ability is now taken out of iOS app. I can only make Skype voice and video call for that saved contact. I suppose I can make a separate entry with the phone number, but I see no point in making a mess of my contact list. I disabled automatic updates on my Mac so I can keep the old desktop version for as long as I can, but knowing that at some point the old version support will be disabled, its time to move on to another platform.
