Skype To Feature Apps

Apps have now become crucial to our internet experience. From mobile phones to the browser, if you want to do anything , there is app for that! Skype launched its own version of an App Store recently.

Skype, the popular video calling and chatting service which was acquired by Microsoft a while back, has always had third party plugins which helped accentuate the experience.  With this new feature called ‘App Directory’ they have now integrated the third-party plugins directly into the Skype Client.

This will make it simple for users who can try these third party apps directly from the client itself.

There are 23 featured apps now on this app directory. It is not a big number, but if a lot of people get onto the app bandwagon, they are bound to increase. The apps consist of both paid and non-paid applications. The applications available right now are business apps, call recording and video conferencing tools.

The UI of the App is pretty simple and contains a search tab which lets you browse through all the applications easily. To ensure good quality of apps, features like user ratings and information are displayed when you click on any app. The best part about this new feature is that you can upload your own applications onto the App Directory. If you are a developer then this feature will be fun to try out.

Skype is hugely popular among people no matter how internet savvy they are and this will help the number of third party applications increase.
