Also it doesn't support logging in with Facebook accounts.

Edit: why the downvotes? It's a feature finely supported on desktop clients, and it does not work on Android - so in order to use Android Skype, I'd have to create a "pure" Skype account (with its own password!), and re-import all my contacts.

For me, that's a bug that has seen no activity for over 3 years.

Best feature is when the wifi drops out it gets unresponsive and you need to kill the app, re-log and redial to get back to were you were. Even WeChat handles that gracefully on my phone.

Android Skype presence colors are messed up.

I compared by running the client on OS X, Win10 and Android in the same time. OS X and Win10 clients seemed to pretty much agree on availability status and to be correct.

But on Android, contacts that are yellow (away) show often as green (available).

Worse, sometimes those who are present show as being offline.

Yeah, pretty random!

I feel like it has improved because it used to just lock up in the background with the indicator still claiming everything was fine and you're available. And then when you actually check in on it by opening the app it'd show you've been disconnected the entire time and quickly log on to be able to pretend nothing ever happened.

Nowadays while it's still occasionally disconnecting at random at least the indicator seems to be more honest about what's going on I would like to believe it locks up less frequently.

Usually updates fix the problem. But I loved how the last update failed with a very clear "Error $SomeNumber". I just love Microsoft's style.
