Skype for iPad is a communication app presented by Microsoft. It offers a variety of features for video and text chatting and has over 300 million monthly active users.

Design and Navigation: Business Level

Skype is designed in a very stylish and convenient way. It uses an attractive color palette, mostly shades of blue and white. The navigation is great, as the interface is very user friendly and functional. You can easily switch between main sections and reach the necessary features in several taps. 

The iPad version is extremely convenient to use, as all the captions and buttons are large enough to be readable and small enough not to overload the interface. The contact list clearly represents the statuses of your friends, relatives, or colleagues, so a glance is all you need to understand, whether a person is available for communication.

Features: So Call Me Maybe

Skype offers a variety of features for communication. There are text chats with instant messages available, video calls of high quality, and even calls to phone numbers by comparably low tariffs. 

The app also allows to demonstrate screen, react on messages and video, participate in huge chat groups with up to 300 people, and in video and audio calls with up to 50 people. 

The feature of statuses reveals its full potential in business when you can easily check the availability of a colleague or find his workplace. 

One of the best things about Skype is that it has a convenient desktop client as well so that you can start a chat on the iPad and finish it on PC. On top of that, there are add-ins and chatbots in Skype, making the app a Swiss knife of video chatting apps.

Security: Microsofty

Skype is selected as the main communication tool by many companies, thanks to the security standards of Microsoft. The app has not been in any data breach and offers encryption for calls, audio messages, and chats, making it one of the most secure communication apps available. We just have to add that most companies use Skype with their own closed networks for top-level security.
