The Problem with Skype

Skype Has Become Cluttered with Intrusive Ads, Microsoft News, and Legacy Code

Once the king of video calling, Skype has deteriorated into an ad-cluttered application that constantly prompts users to browse MSN news or buy Microsoft services. Calls frequently suffer from connection drops, and joining requires Microsoft account logins.

  • In-app banner ads and MSN news feeds clutter the interface.
  • Heavy CPU usage and battery drain on both desktop and mobile devices.
  • Frequent connection drops and degraded audio on cellular connections.
  • Requires Microsoft account credentials to initiate or manage calls.
Pricing: Free (ad-supported) / Skype credit fees
