Yesterday, Skype released an update for its iOS app to include iOS 8-optimized notifications and other goodies. However, it has no support for the higher-resolution iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus displays. That will change next month, per a Skype spokesperson:
We’re currently working on an update to Skype for iPhone that scales for iPhone 6 and 6 Plus screen sizes, which we plan to release in the next month.
Unfortunately, that sounds like quite a while. Hopefully the updated version isn’t just bigger, but more optimized for the larger 4.7-inch and 5.5-inch panels.

I find it really strange. I’m an amateur developer and apple had supplied the resources needed for these iPhones at WWDC 2014. Microsoft and other big companies like twitter should have been ready to update their app the day iOS 8 came out.
I agree with you…. I find it so bad… even in the App Store under the Apps for iPhone 6 / 6 +, many of them are not yet updated for bigger devices.
But Bokeyh, you should check… Twitter was updated on day 1.. and is optimized for iPhone 6/6+… Not like Facebook, sadly….
