To use Skype, you need to sign up and create a Microsoft account. Since Microsoft acquired Skype in 2011, the program has been promoted as a feature-packed communication tool.
With the expansion of services, users cut down costs on standard phone messaging and calls.

Verdict:Ī limited chat client that is not really successful in bridging the gap between mobile and desktop users.Skype has always been a popular choice to connect with friends and family on the internet. This is an app that has its place, but there are far better means of communication available which offer more features and fewer frustrations. It is also a very old fashioned looking app and using it feels very much like taking a step back in time and working with an IRC client from the mid-90s. There are apparently plans to roll out a server update in the future that will overcome this problem so it is worth keeping an eye on the app to see if anything changes further down the line.Ĭompared to the desktop versions of the app, Camfrog Video Chat for iPad feels a little limited.

The app is a combination of a chat room tool and video messaging service that can be used to converse with other Camfrog users all over the world – there is a client available for iPhone, Mac and Windows, so there is a huge potential user-base here.įrom the offset the app is a little limited.
