Slight improvement from the terrible reboot. One of the core features need to come back before I start adding stars...
Either add the filter for only viewing contacts or just make it its own screen. Using skype for everyday work that involves multiple different groups, its annoying scrolling through the recent convos and frankly, not helpful...at all. Store the previous convo within the contact/group.
Get working on the status change and viewing statuses BETTER.
Take a breather from the themes. I can guarantee you that no one will notice them if no one uses the app. Consider having them redesign it like Skype for Business or the old version.

The same terrible choices that were made by the last update are still there. This update adds nothing useful.
Before rolling anything out, please allow users to:
- see someones status without clicking their names
- change their own status
Then reconsider:
- the big font "I have bad vision" layout
- rebuild to the previous previous skype version. (Hopefully it isnt merged with master yet or backed up somewhere) just until you get this update and basic features included. The new design was a premature push.
- consider Skype for Business layout. It would actually be helpful to keep consistency across products.
It feels like the last updates ismeant to refresh the terrible ratings and reviews.
In case its not, pro-tip, if no one wants to use the app, your backend improvements fall on deaf ears.
Useable usability, folks. Try again...
