The quick favorites list is very nice, but the app is missing what I downloaded it for and what I need. A dedicated Skype dialer. I find it typical of Microsoft to totally miss the obvious on a calling app. Which is a dedicated icon that opens the Skype dialer. Instead you have to go through a convoluted series of steps to find and open the dialer. I thought, hoped that this app would provide that dialer. I'll keep the app for now but that dialer would be really nice. As a side note to the maker of this app, I gave 4 stars, reason? The app says dialer for Skype, which is what I was looking for, not a speed dialer/favorites list, but a dialer/pad. This confusion may be in part why others are not giving the app 5 stars. Please add a dedicated dialing pad with a speed dial menu in it. Update The new app is nice. The new dialer is what I was looking for. And you can still click on your contacts and then select Skype call button on the right and it will dial the number over Skype call which is perfect. Unlike Microsoft pushing you to send invites to people to badger them in to downloading Skype. And not dialing your number when you have a 12 month unlimited call plan. Yah that makes sense. Now the only thing left is to replace the ugly icon for the app. I would say the app itself is about perfect. Light weight. Fast. Does exactly what its supposed to, even with the add banner at the bottom. If an app has to have adds, the way it's done here is perfect. I have other apps with add banners like this, they are about the only thing I can tolerate. Pop up and full page intrusion adds just tick me off. Even had an app once that put up a add that had one way to get rid of it and that was to click and go forward in to the add, and who knows where that would have ended. Had to shut the phone off and then uninstall it. These kinds of adds are doable. New icon and this app is Gold
