Reviews of the Android and iOS versions of the app have been mostly terrible, and those posted to the Windows App Store have not been much better.
Chief among the issues is that the redesign imagines Skype as a youth-oriented social media app along the lines of Instagram or Snapchat, rather than a staid business communications tool.
