Skype Redesigns Android App to Aid Usability

Skype has updated its Android mobile application with a refreshed user interface. Skype believes the changes make Skype look better and easier to use. For example, Skype 5.6 for Android allows users to see more chats on the Recent tab. People can now glean more at a glance than they were able to before. Other design tweaks make it more obvious which of the user's friends are online, and more consistent thanks to unified avatar pictures. Last, Skype adjusted the color of chat bubbles, which it says gives chats more clarity — especially those with lots of participants. As usual, the update tackles a number of bugs and makes improvements to stability. Skype 5.6 for Android is free to download from the Play Store.
