i find the design & functionality very confusing & poorly done. voice mail messages will not play; endlessly loading. tried reinstalling, doesn't help. update: seems that you have to force quit the app and then start it again in order to listen to any voice messages; that's a major flaw. why has this been going on for so many months yet no one at the mighty Microsoft corporation seems to be competent enough to fix this? if you don't use your credit often enough they take it from you. thieves

Update: This issue appears to be fixed in 8.118. The person I was calling was unable to hear me using the latest 8.117 release, which scared my elderly mother as she thought she was receiving crank calls. Fortunately, I was able to download an older version from an APK mirror (I went with 8.115 just to be sure) which resolved the problem. Scrolling through the recent reviews, it seems I'm not the only person experiencing difficulty.

Edit: Calls don't show up half the time, both incoming and missed, meanwhile chat notifications persist even after reading new messages meaning that you have to go out of your way to clear the notification when it would originally just go away automatically. The app also takes a ridiculously long amount of time to open as well, and the call UI is still awful. Don't waste your time with this app. Find something else.
