Who hasn’t heard about Skype? We have talked in the past both about the desktop and the touch application, and now we’re coming up with an article to keep up with all the updates that the official Skype desktop app for Windows 8, 10 receives.

I am sure that I am not the single one who doesn’t like the touch version of Skype for Windows 8, 10 and prefer the good old desktop version, despite the fact that I have created this website to find and promote mainly touch apps from the Windows Store. However, the touch version of Skype for Windows 8.1, 10 has been getting better and better, especially after it has received some important updates which brought much needed features to users. For those who find the touch version pretty hard to get used to, we’ve also compiled a small guide for that.
