Video quality is generally excellent with Skype on the iPad. This made me wish the app had other ways to view my contacts, such as a straightforward list view like the Contacts app on my iPad and iPhone. The gallery of contacts would be attractive if my contacts had pictures, but most of my contacts don’t so it’s a bunch of blue squares.
You can video call, voice call, instant message, or send a text message to the contact.
The screen shows about 12 contact squares at a time and you can easily scroll through them.Īfter tapping a specific contact square, all the usual Skype options appear. Each contact is shown in large, easy-to-tap squares. When you first boot the app, you have to log in and then are immediately taken to your list of contacts. My conclusion: It blows FaceTime out of the water.įirst, it’s necessary to have an iPad 2 while running Skype for iPad because it has a front-facing camera, so first-gen iPad owners are out of luck.
