Farewell, old friend ❤️

亲爱的Skype,

谢谢你这六年来的陪伴。从最初的远距离相识,到如今我们即将步入婚姻的殿堂,你一直静静地见证着我们的点点滴滴。每一次通话、每一段留言,都是我们感情的印记。是你让我们跨越了时差与距离,让思念有了出口,也让爱有了延续的方式。

现在你要下线了,我们也走到了人生的新阶段。虽然不舍,但更多的是感谢。感谢你,也感谢微软团队❤️

再见,老朋友。

Dear Skype,

Thank you for being with us over the past six years.
From the very beginning of our long-distance relationship to now, as we prepare to step into marriage, you’ve quietly witnessed every little moment between us.
Every call, every message—weaved into the story of our love.
You helped us bridge the gap of time zones and distance, gave our longing a voice, and made it possible for our love to grow stronger.

Now that you’re about to go offline, we’re also entering a new chapter in life.
Though it’s bittersweet, above all, we feel grateful. Thanks for being there with us.❤️

Gonna miss my childhood! Thank you Skype for all the memories! ❤️ 😢

The end of a legend

I have loved Skype for so long as it has a few bugs but always call my cousins on it and have a good time and it’s so sad to see that this app has to come to an end. Microsoft I beg you to keep Skype and teams please Skype is a legend and will always be one

The best app in this world

Only the sounds of this app makes me cry, the amount of nostalgia it brings to me is crazy, I’m still not getting over the fact that this legend is retiring, I hope that this is just a goodbye. Thank you Skype for being here for all these years

I use it to communicate with my family in the philippines

it was long time ago when had typhoon surge in our province in the philippines .everything went block out, no internet.. and then i remember that i could use skype to call them. so i bought $10 worth of load from skype so i can call them and eased my worrying.. it tooks long time before i could reach them because no power to charge their Cellphones. But after 1 week of trying finally i could talk to them.. and thank God my family were safe… And thanking to skype. For 10$ i could tak to them for 2 hrs. instead of using of others that they billed you too much…

A bit confusing until you get used to it.

I use the app to speak to my mother in a care facility across the country. She can’t use it on her end, requiring help for getting set up. From my side it’s a decent app. My only big complaint/confusion is the design of the Skype call notification box that pops up. While I’m used to it now having a check mark as the button to push to activate the call and an x next to it to exit the call caused problems. I understand the theory behind it but to some generations x-“marks the spot” makes us think (initially) that that’s the button to answer. Wouldn’t it be simpler to just add “answer” and “hang up” under each button? I have a minor annoyance with always having to activate my camera in the program when I’m called. Again, it’s pictorial, and takes getting used to. But all things considered it does a good job. It could use clearer documentation and buttons is all.

Farewell skype

You will be missed

Skype is wonderful

I use Skype to talk with my friends in Asia. Skype translates live conversations well. Teams not so much. Teams is so bad with the auto-translate that we can't have a decent conversation.

Ahead of its time, it was amazing

Thank you Skype team for connecting us with friends & family for many years.

HOW GOOD YOU ARE

I really like how you have kind people and I love your beat so when we call it makes this musical sound I just love my Quran and and I JUST LOVE EVERYTHING IN SKYPE❤️❤️but I am also sad that it is leaving just please don’t leave!😔😔😭😭😭😭

Once Best

Don’t even think about getting the same service on Teams. As a loyal 10 years customer, I could never even think of being betrayed by Microsoft like this. Team is in no way shape or form a replacement for Skype cloud phone services and the company simply doesn’t care what happens to those establishing their business and livelihood on that.

I love skype

I love skype so much its very straightforward and easy to use. I am so sad that it’s shutting down because i talk to my dad on here and its the only way i can communicate with him so finding a different app to text will be very hard.

I dont like Teams

I like skype and ill use whatsapp before i use teams

Reliable

Come to be so reliant on this wonderful app - the only way I can stay in touch with my dear aged mother who is in residential aged care so far away… thank you for always being there for us!

I will miss Skype.

Skype had all of the features I could ask for. They had calling, messaging, and a lot more too. I am sad that Skype is retiring and coming to an end. Thank you so much for what you have done, Skype. May Skype R.I.P.
