Skype and iPhone 5

Is anyone else experiencing problems with skype app on iPhone 5?

I used it with my iPhone4 without any issue. Using it on the iPad is still fine.

But I have been using iPhone 5 for several weeks now, and skype is just not stable on it. App shuts down during calls, seems glitchy, etc.

Anyone else?

Yes, I am not sure what the Google Voice and Talkatone post was meant to imply...? I have used Google Voice, but I have specific need to use Skype on my iPhone 5.

If anyone is using Skype on iPhone 5, would you mind posting your experiences with it? If it is working for others, I will need to explore restoring the phone, reinstalling apps, etc....

Thanks.

j210277 - Yes, I have the newest IOS and Skype app is fully updated.

Dubai Stu - thanks for the link to the Skype community thread. Appears I am not the only one with the issue.

From a quick read, looks like many have been having the issue since iPhone 5 first came out. Pretty disappointing that Skype has not patched this up yet.

I will work on reinstalling and such, though it appears to not be a sure fix.

I tried it today for the first time and it worked fine. Small N, I realize but no problems.

I use it everyday on my iPhone with minimal issues. I only run into problems when my wireless is running a bit slower
