And whilst we’re there, if Lync signs you out, which happens every time you lose network connection, then it closes all the windows and you lose the messages.ĥ) Screen sharing and sending of files don’t work Notifications don’t even work, either on Mac, iPad or iPhone, losing yet more messages. If I am desperate enough to sign into Lync on my iPad, I inevitably end up with a pile of messages that I find a few weeks later. When I read the message, it appears read on all devices, obviously. When I get a Viber message, it appears on whatever device I’m on.
In a world where the tiny startup Viber has produced an app that works on all my devices on any network, the fact that Microsoft can’t do the basics in mobile is sad. I did try installing Lync 2013 on my iPad and iPhone, but it’s unusable. In the last 2 years, mobile devices have become pervasive – I don’t know about you, but I do around 50% of my work on a tablet or smartphone. Instead, they seem to have invested R&D in extending the product to create more broken features. Despite the cries for help from customers, Microsoft haven’t done anything measurable to fix the product. Microsoft released Lync 2013, but it didn’t make anything work any better. In the last 2 years, there has been no discernible innovation in Lync.

Around two years ago, I wrote The ten reasons I hate Microsoft Lync the most.
