I use this app for work. It's alright, and makes it more convenient to communicate when I step away from my computer. But something happened and I can no longer see anyone in my list of contacts other than "Recent contacts." It used to be synced with the desktop version, but now it's as if I have no contacts, and this makes it much less useful, for me at least. I have tried everything I can think of with the settings; uninstalled and reinstalled the app; etc. and no luck.

Just like Microsoft Office 365 products, Skype for Business only works half of the time. It is full of bugs and issues. App will crash. Sometimes incoming calls will not ring but instead are instantly marked as "missed", call drop despite a good connection. Like I said, it's just as reliable as Microsoft 365 which only works properly half of the time. If Microsoft would opensource their products, we would have MUCH better versions of their products by the end of the week.

Can I give this negative stars? Now I am unable to view slides from Intel meetings, with a message that the host is using a sharing or recording feature not supported by this app version. I am using the current version. (Old review:) Unstable. I've had to uninstall and reinstall to make it stop immediately crashing on open. When a presenter advances to the next slide, frequently the screen is not completely drawn, leaving part of the old slide showing instead.
