Skype has today pushed out an update for its prominent iOS apps, with both the iPad as well as iphone versions getting new versions. The listing of additions is a relatively short one, with two being especially beneficial to many, as well as one being a lot more of a pain than a feature.
With the update, bringing us as much as version number 3.5.84, Skype has added the much anticipated capability to make phone calls utilizing a Bluetooth headset or headphones, which is something that many, including the entire Redmond Pie team, would suggest must have been there considering that day one. If we can make phone calls utilizing wireless headsets utilizing our cell connection, why wouldn’t we want to do it utilizing Skype?
Software-based anti-shake modification has likewise been added, with the hope of minimizing the nausea-inducing motion that commonly comes hand-in-hand with video calling. We’ve all been utilizing Skype, FaceTime or one more system when the other celebration just can’t keep their gadget still. Skype believes their innovation can assist to get rid of that, as well as that has to be a extremely great thing!
From the app Store:
What’s new in version 3.5.84
* Bluetooth support for iphone 4, iphone 3GS, iPod touch 4th Generation, as well as iPad 2 * Incoming emoticons; outgoing emoticons displayed when went into in text type * improved video with picture stabilization * new easy-to-use interface * marketing will be shown to individuals that do not have Skype Credit, a calling membership or premium membership * Bugfix for safety vulnerability
The major drawback to this update however, is the addition of ads to the app. If you’re not somebody who has a Skype subscription, or somebody who always has Skype credit score connected to their account, then when updated you’ll be subjected to visual ads inside the app, though Skype has taken excellent pains to pledge that we won’t be getting audio ads during our calls. having stated that, we wouldn’t be shocked if that altered at some point in the future!
We’re huge fans of the Skype iOS apps right here at Redmond Pie, as well as particularly the just recently released iPad client. We just hope that the addition of ads doesn’t detract from the experience as well much.
Still, rather that than pay for it!
