Skype For iPhone - First Impressions


By danc - Posted on 31 March 2009

image1551463910.jpgAs expected the official Skype for iPhone app just made an appearance in the App Store.

As a huge Skype user I'm pretty excited to give it a try. If you do let us know what you think.

UPDATE:

I thought I would give a quick update after actually downloading the app... What a disappointment!

The app loaded beautifully. It looked great. It gave that familiar Skype login sound. It showed me my contacts. I was psyched!!!!!!

Then... I..... tried... to... make.... a... call..and... it...sounded... like...this.... sentence.... looks... choppy... as...hell.

Seriously, I called my office and got the answering machine and it was all impossible to understand. SERIOUSLY it was unusable.

I thought it might be my WiFi connection until...

 

I called my office from Trufone. Not only did Truphone connect is less than half the time but the sound was PERFECT. I then tried Skype again and found it to be just as choppy. Truphone again... perfect. Skype again.. choppy.  Truphone again... perfect.

I love Skype but I think I may be dropping my Skype Unlimited plan and going for Truphone's plan instead.

I heard Skype doesnt work well on jailbroken iphones unless you update mobile substrate, if you haven't jailbroken then I have no clue.

No worse than a normal iPhone voice call. 
I'm at home using my own broadband in the UK if that makes a difference

Interesting. I tried both again this morning with exactly the same result.
