If you have a product that is the same as 10 others, your market share is limited, people will choose which they use based on silly things, colour schemes, friends that use them etc. See those developers at New Skype must have thought ‘we need to do what everyone else is doing’ and that makes no sense. Of course, I have tried half a dozen other applications for communicating with friends and lovers but none of them do what Skype V7 does. What was once a 4*+ experience on the iTunes store has now dropped to just above 1*. I keep checking in on the iTunes Store and also Google Play to see the hammering they are taking in the ratings but still they blindly plug on, forcing the shit that no-one wants on all of us. They have turned what was a very unique and life saving application into some pre pubescent teenager dribble, forgetting that the majority of their user base is probably over the age of 30. I would dearly like to hit the ‘New Skype’ team with a fully charged bolt of lightning – right up their ring holes. The android however, would let me roll back to V7 where it still comfortably sits until this day – making the android my extra special phone of choice again.

Skype – lets talk about them for a minute. In the 12 year history of this blog, I don’t think I have ever suffered a silence this long – almost two months !! So, as you might expect, I have plenty to rant about and as my connection is shit and I need to be quick, I need to type fast so don’t expect it in any kind of relevant order what so ever. Well not quite, although if North Korea have anything to say about that, I might be vaporised some time soon.įirstly an apology.
