Really don't care for the app now that bing is attached to it. Having a button that pops up "bing examples" where the send button is located is a pain. Half the time the messages I send don't show up on my end, so I have to back out and reenter a conversation to see them. My favorite problem is how it'll cut messages. I'll get a message from a friend only for it to be cut off, and another message needing to be sent just to read the first message. It's just... Not fun to use anymore.

Update: So... It appears that you can message others on this app ...but it costs 11 cents!...😒 why? Yes...I think Skype is a good app. I've used it years ago and am now circling back to it. It has good features...but it would be great if it integrated as a standard messaging app on a basic level. That way, you wouldn't have to "invite" people to the platform. They'd see you were on it, and some would just migrate to it on their own to access all the features.... Just a thought.

Awful after Microsoft bought it! 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. Used to be a great app, but now I'm looking for something else and uninstalling it. Sad.
