My Little House of Rescues

EDIT: it only gets worse, now it's impossible to buy credit to vall phones! Don't use this app - Microsoft ruined it completely! ***Not connecting international calls, dropping the calls, no sound on the other side, or the other side isn't hearing me. Keeps charging while ringing and never connects. Tons of glitches. Extremely frustrating as I need to call my elderly Mom abroad every day. Microsoft turns everything into 💩, horrible quality.

When it works, it's great, but I can't get it to work half the time. I can see the notification and read it, but when I actually open Skype, there's nothing there. Or I only get a blank screen or half a screen. I keep it updated, I've uninstalled and reinstalled it. Nothing helps it. Skype uses to be the go-to app, but I may have to start using something else.

Ridiculously slow! By far the slowest app on my phone. Getting an emoji takes 5 seconds to open, and pushing number buttons respond way later than when you hit them. My phone is not old. Redmi 9T. I love Skype cause I have so many contacts here, but I wish they would make it run smoothly. It's been super glitchy from the beginning and is slow on the computer too. Doesn't always notify me when I get new messages. Why can't Microsoft make it work good like other messaging and video call apps?
