Pros
For both personal and business reasons, Skype is a terrific way to connect quickly and effortlessly.
Overall I have had a good experience with Skype. Perfect lightweight instant messaging app.
Overall I have the best experience while using this app. It is a one of a kind I wouldnt not trade it for any other app.
Cons
There has been a persistent problem that it takes a lot of time to load the app sometimes. Just basic features have been provided in it, if we compare it with its competitors.
There is not much I do not like, but the lack of support of break-out rooms is something I have noticed and missed on occasion, though a minor gripe.
Sometimes the app can lag or brake a little if you have a computer or cellphone with basic hardware.
