It was confirmed to me by somebody else on Jonathan Mosen’s iOS beta list that Skype also crashes for them with iOS 11.3 Beta. Since this also seems to happen without Voiceover, I am sure it will be fixed soon. Apart from that Skype is a bit of a pain nowadays, but certainly it’s useable at least for what I do which primarily is to make phone calls to Germany.

It was truly not our intention to make things feel more difficult for our users, and hope you can give us a chance to work on these issues and recommendations. We will be happy to see any suggestions coming directly from our users so our developers can have them in mind while updating the newest version of Skype. See the latest changes in the release notes: https://aka.ms/mreleasenotes. If you're encountering any technical issues, feel free to talk to one of our Skype Agents: https://aka.ms/SkypeGetHelp. Have a great day. Best regards, Anna P" MSAccessibility has also made it known via Twitter that they’re aware of the recent accessibility issues with Skype on IoS and Windows and that they’re “working hard” to get updates out to address them. This is fine and dandy, but how’d they let such updates out into the wild per say that broke so much for so many users. Not to mention the prolonged time it’s taking to address and hopefully fix them? I guess it’s a wait and see till the next app updates come out to see if there’s been any progress.

I don’t think Microsoft should mess things up to the point where the product is almost unuseable. Anyhow, Ben, I have a 6S Plus. I’ll see, hopefully an update comes soon maybe it works again then.

Have you taken a look at viber? not sure about the price of their plans, but it might be worth checking it out.

I don’t use it often, but today when I wanted to use it the app opened. Then it crashed and I was able to open it once afterwards, now it crashes each time I try to open it back to the home screen. I unloaded all apps, I rebooted the phone and I even deleted the app and redownloaded it, it still crashes. I must say this thing annoys me no end lately. I mostly use it for calls to landlines and cell phones in Germany, their subscription which I think gives me 400 minutes a month (way more than I need) is really quite cheap..
