Won’t work on iOS 11.1
I can’t use this anymore because Apple upgraded the iOS but Microsoft doesn’t update the app. It was handy for short term immediate needs. Now it’s worthless!
Useless
This app doesn't notify you if it isn't opened and running in the foreground. If it is running in the background, you will receive the message but there's no notification. And you will only receive messages if you initiated the conversation from your iOS device. If someone initiated the conversation then the message will only go to the app on your computer. And messages don't sync between your iOS device and computer. You only see conversations that originated from the device.

Once again it's what I expect from Microsoft Office products
I have an Office 365 subscription and pretty much wasted my money on it. All the applications are nearly useless (Word, Excel, etc). The worst of all these are Outlook and Lync. Outlook isn't capable of the simplest scheduling tools like recurring events and tasks. I decided to try Lync. It doesn't even connect. I tried many various configurations and nothing worked. So like I did with Outlook, I deleted this pathetic excuse for software off my iPad Pro also. Wake Up Microsoft. You are a software company. Start acting like one!

All I can say is REALLY Microsoft?
Looks to usable on my desktop PC, not so much on the app.
No voice or video meetings between devices, just a clunky IM. Why would I not just use the native IM on the device.
In this day and age of connectivity MS is left on the dock and can't even see the sails of the boat that left ions ago.
Here's what would make this app shine:
Video and voice conferencing using your iPad, etc.
That's it, all it needs

Useless piece of xxxx
Can't use it. Trying to log in, app hangs while I'm still entering login info. What a waste of electronic space. One star rating really means -5 here
Keyboard disappears - please fix
This app used to work pretty well, but since the last release, the keyboard will randomly disappear and only 5-6 keys will show up. You can still type on the blank keyboard, but it is virtually unusable because it takes so long to correct mistakes. Please fix.
Poorly written. Constantly locks up
I use Lync 2010 in the office all day and it works great. This "app" is unusable. Cannot even login before it locks up hard :-/ . Tried multiple times. It seems like Microsoft doesn't care because it's not installed on a Microsoft product.
Abandoned!
It hangs, pauses, freezes, and deletes your account and/or connection information.
Microsoft has clearly given up on this app.

In a pinch only
I use this only when I need to quickly message someone in my organization who I know is available. You can message people, and view a quick overview of your calendar. You cannot use and enjoy any other of Lync's features, such as seeing your missed conversations, joining Lync meetings, or changing font size and color. It lets you know someone tried to contact you, but not what they said, a little embarrassing asking many people to repeat what they said, makes me sound almost like a young, half deaf, idiot.

A year later and still broke
You can tell Microsoft doesn't care. If you're not using a Microsoft product like surface , then oh well ... Not our problem.
Awful
This is seriously an awful app from Microsoft, I can't believe they released it. It's completely unreliable and cumbersome to use. Horrible development.
Unable view shared content
All it does is connect you to the audio content of meeting by calling your phone and IM during meeting. For iPad this is a very poor app.
Same issue
Can't join the meeting without phone number, can't enter phone number because box is greyed out.
Won't let me log in as guest
Asks for a phone number but can't enter it.
I would give zero stars if possible
Says it will call my number but never connected.
Why not just relay sound through iPad? That is what I'm using!

Can't use due to phone number
Can't enter phone number as many other users who rated low
Need an option to increase font size
I agree with other reviewers - this app would be far more usable if there were a way to increase font size. I'm using a full-size iPad, and it's way too small.
Poor App
The app requires phone number but doesn't let me enter it.
Push Notification
I have an issue with receiving Push Notifications when someone messages me. The conversation does not show up until it is considered a missed convo. This is for the IPad and IPhone versions.
PC user on IPad - useless
Downloaded to attend a meeting on the run. Can't join mtg without adding my phone number. App doesn't allow keyboard to launch, so can't enter my #. Tried setting from app main screen, no option. Is this still in beta? Oh wait, it's Microsoft - we're all beta testers until SP2
