The Skype app for Android isn't great - it's often slow, with somewhat-awful call quality and the occasional crash. Back in December, Microsoft released Skype Mingo in beta, a new lightweight Skype client designed as a hub for all your communications. Now the app is out of beta, and it's called Skype Lite.

Skype Lite has other features that the full app doesn't, like dark mode and pinning contacts to the home screen. I do wish Skype Lite's notifications supported quick reply (the full Skype app does), but that's a small complaint.You can download Skype Lite from Play Store:
