Microsoft recently unveiled its redesigned Skype app for iPhones. The new Skype 5.0 app is streamlined to give users a better performance and enhanced video calling experience.

Performance

This video calling app for iPhones is much faster than its previous version when it comes to starting up. It is about five times faster. The updated app offers more reliability and stability. Animations and scrolling in this app are also more fluid and do not affect battery life. This high-performance app is easily downloadable from the iOS App Store.

Appearance

Skype 5.0 has refined features like the one for group chats. You can now launch it from the main hub. As it has also redesigned its notification system, you will have no problem in holding group or multiple conversations simultaneously. Its modified notification system works equally well with Xbox and PCs. The conversation hub displays your recent conversations on the top while you may access your contacts or favorite people on a swipe. There is no classic tab bar like the previous version. Instead, you will find an improved appearance with colorful buttons.
